Charismatic Leaders pay a great deal of attention in
scanning and reading their environment, and are
good at picking up the moods and concerns of both
individuals and larger audiences. They then will
hone their actions and words to suit the situation.
Charismatic Leaders use a wide range of methods to
manage their image and, if they are not naturally
charismatic, may practice assiduously at developing
their skills. They may engender trust through visible
self-sacrifice and taking personal risks in the name
of their beliefs. They will show great confidence in
their followers. They are very persuasive and make
very effective use of body language as well as verbal
