INSPIRATION through THOUGHTS and QUOTES
Charisma
"Some people, like President Clinton or my young friend Lee, seem naturally high in charisma, but there are ingredients that can be cultivated: A genuine interest in people. Listening to their needs and concerns, and showing that you will help them achieve their goals. Treating people as though each is special and deserves attention. Remembering details about them." — Rosabeth Moss Kanter. Top of the 2012 HR Most Influential International Thinkers Award.
