WHAT MAKES A PERSON CHARISMATIC?

This is one of my favorite subjects.

Does charisma have anything to do with honesty and integrity?

No. We have some crooked politicians full of charisma. Adolf Hitler was known to have a lot of charisma.

So what makes a person charismatic?

Charisma is defined in www.dictionary.com as (a) A rare personal quality attributed to leaders who arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm, (b) Personal magnetism or charm.

The charismatic people --- those I am drawn to --- I have personally come across appear to share the following characteristics:

Public speaking ability (which indicates ability to articulate thoughts), strong sense of humor, positive thinking (which draws all kinds of people, including those negative thinkers), generous, able to talk a lot of sense (which indicates superior thinking ability) and persuasiveness (which indicates good listening habits), and a people person (who likes hanging out with lots of people).

As a result, I would rule out some people as charismatic even though they have a lot of followers/devotees/admirers because these so called leaders lack the ability to draw and keep admirers without a "popular" cause and a highly effective public relations machine.

Now I am looking for more ideas. Tell me what you think makes a person charismatic.
