CHARISMA, gift that it is, may not be the foundation of success that others think it is. It will get you in the door, but is not a guarantee that you will stay in the room. Those who genuinely po...ssess this quality know that it has to be backed up with a certain kind of action: intentionally putting other people first. Asking and listening, supporting and valuing, making a positive difference in lives of others is what charisma is all about. It is not personality; it is outward focus.
COMMITMENT is the first step to every good thing I know, and the only step that matters when it comes to achievement. It inspires and attracts people, shows them you have conviction and goals, that you are focused and determined. And the commitment that is based on values will endure. Any time you make choices based on solid life values, you are in a better position to sustain your level of commitment, because you don’t have to continually re-evaluate its importance
COMMUNICATION If I had to pick a first rule of communication—the one practice above all others that opens the door to connecting with others—it would be to look for common ground. Too often people see communication as the process of transmitting massive amounts of information to other people. But that’s the wrong picture. Communication is a journey. The more that people have in common, the better the chance that they can take that journey together
