Charisma comes from the Greek word “charis,”
which means grace. Research shows that people with charisma are able to gracefully
persuade us to buy from them, vote for them and (as charismatic leaders like Kennedy
and Clinton have shown) mate with them. But, as stressed above, there is more
to leadership than charisma.
So look for more than power, attractiveness and likeability in this election
roster of presidential candidates. Seek instead credibility
