Charisma

I believe that in order to be a great leader, you need charisma. Charisma is compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others. This is a very important quality for a leader to have. In order to lead people they usually have to want to follow you. They want to follow you because you are a likable person and they are inspired in some sort of emotional way. Most of the greatest leaders of all time were so great because they were charismatic and got people to follow them. Napolean, Hitler, Churchill, Mandela, and many others were effective because they maintain moral more effectively than other leaders at that time which helped gain them a large following. Part of the reason why Obama was elected was because many people saw him as a charismatic leader and he gained their trust through his inspiring words and speeches. Charisma is an important quality of any great leader.
