The words of such people have a meaning that you understand, and they are right about 100, but they do not light the spark of your consciousness and do not provoke people to “go and do”.

Public appearances
Speaking in public, a charismatic person literally pours out his own emotions. All his judgments, as a rule, are based on the subjectivity of the narrator himself. The enthusiasm with which a charismatic speaker speaks can be the envy of almost every living person.All statements, statements and calls for action are conveyed by the speaker in the coloring of his personal relationships to everything. Most often, the format of such speeches is preaching. The manifestation of thought leadership - in the pace of the voice and demeanor during the speech.

Famous charismatic personalities: examples
- Such iconic personalities as Brezhnev or Stalin were extremely restrained and balanced in their speeches.
- In order for the nation to better perceive the leader and the essence of the speeches to be firmly embedded in the minds, Fidel Castro's speeches were theatrical. He, too, always performed measuredly, but skillfully used the modulation of his own voice, using the rolling voice. Everything described above is a prime example of the perfect performance.
But there were and still are charismatic personalities using a diametrically opposite model:
- These include Hitler and Zhirinovsky with confidence.
- The first one literally spat saliva during performances, shouted a lot and gesticulated with great power.
- Zhirinovsky uses fussiness, emancipation and energy. It even became his trademark.
- The mastermind behind one of Apple's leading companies, Steve Jobs, rehearsed a lot and hard before performing. At first glance, all his speeches seemed relaxed and relaxed, but all this was the result of many days of rehearsals. He actually required a tremendous amount of effort and rehearsal for this.
- Churchill and Hitler preferred to rehearse in front of the mirror. And they have always devoted many hours to this occupation.
A charismatic personality is always a teacher
No one teaches the truth the way a charismatic person does. A charismatic person is always a teacher, mentor, or just a deeply knowledgeable person. He always has knowledge and is sure that it is he who knows how to live, what ideological principles to bring into his life, how to act in different situations.

With the help of the ability to convince a large number of people of the seriousness of his personality, knowledge and experience, he is able to interest any age category.
He may be 2 times younger than his listeners, but no one will even think of a hint to reproach him. Speeches and speeches of people with pronounced charisma never sound like boring and ordinary speeches. There is only one format - communication with the audience, understanding when to get feedback - and on an intuitive level he will feel the mood of the audience.
The connection of energy and charisma
A healthy and strong spirit, psychological and physical health can serve as a guarantee of success. A charismatic personality should be a source of energy itself. The specifics are such that sometimes you will have to perform in public more than once a day, and all performances must be of the highest quality. By his presence alone, this person should infect the minds of people and invest his ideas.Loyalty is not always a companion of charisma
A distinctive feature of charismatic people is almost always the absence of such a quality as loyalty.For the most part, carriers of charisma rarely think about correctness, and more often do not think at all. They are cruel and rarely compromise. Charismatic individuals do not fill their speeches with politeness, gratitude, and compassion.
A true leader can radically change a person's way of thinking with just one speech. He is able to turn one's head, fill a person with confidence and change the stereotype of thinking and judgment.
Topics that touch upon true leaders most often put their audience in a conflict situation with the outside world. Often, for a certain stratum of the population, such speeches can be insulting, provocative or even scandalous.
Examples of the specifics of speech of a charismatic personality
The speech delivered by a true leader, possessor of charisma, is mostly full of special words, sayings, epithets, specific catch phrases that are rarely used in the everyday life of the bulk of people. Such "chips" can be used as part of the ideology, which is introduced to the masses by a personality endowed with charisma. Or simply explained by the peculiarities of his biography or special origin. Particularly specific mastery of gestures is an important factor and aspect of the personality of a person with charisma. The gesture itself can be anything: restrained, graceful, overly mannered or harsh, awkward. The most important thing is that these gestures should complement the harmony of the personality. Even speech defects and accents can be used to create an individual image of a charismatic person.
