It's that something special that magnetizes people.
You know it when you meet someone who's charismatic. Their charm is infectious--think Bill Clinton or Oprah--and mightily contributes to their success.
According to Ronald Riggio, PhD, professor of leadership and organizational psychology at Claremont McKenna College, charisma has three main ingredients: expressiveness, emotional control and emotional sensitivity.
The latter--the ability to pick up on other’s people’s emotions--is key to forging both personal and professional connections.
If you already possess charisma, congratulations. If you want to hone yours, check out Riggio's book, The Charisma Quotient: What It Is, How to Get It, How to Use It: http://www.amazon.com/Charisma-Quotient-What-How-Get/dp/0396089631/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266244419&sr=8-13.
