DreamscapesWhy are some people so charismatic and others are just mere mortals?
I think people are either born with charisma or not. In my opinion, charismatic people are different from charming people. Charmers seem to have a negative connotation. In other words, they charm you because they want something from you. Of course charismatic people can also abuse their charisma to lead people to their demise. There have been many examples of that - cult leaders for instance.
One of the most charismatic people I've met happened to be one of my employers. He had vision, great business sense and was a smart risk taker. Furthermore, he had a contagious confidence in himself and his team. A pleasant smile and cheerful demeanor did not hurt either. He was a good strategist and cheerleader for the team. I had the impression that he could sell an Eskimo ice or a dumpster manager trash. You get the idea. :-) Another thing that set him apart was that he was a great communicator and motivator. He had a special positive energy about him.
I was proud to be a part of his team because it had the best reputation of being fun, hardworking and yet high performing. I guess some people are just born charismatic. :-) Have you met charismatic characters in your life?

P.P.S. - The photo was taken from the Hills Plaza near the Embarcadero. As you can see it was another gorgeous day in San Francisco.
