The One Trait That Makes Followers Die for Their Leader

Let’s say there are great leaders who make followers walk from one end of the world to the other like Alexander the Great, build the impossible like rockets to Mars, or push followers to their limits like Jensen Huang of NVIDIA. What do they all have in common?

I was thinking about it again today. People follow leaders for many reasons, but if I had to pick the one trait that makes you close your eyes, push past your limits, and believe in your leader…

it’s charisma.

Charisma is a charm driven by power, confidence, vision, knowledge, and being the best yourself before asking others to be their best. It’s about being honest, powerful, and influential while staying humble, a great person others wish to become and admire. It is kindness and empathy wrapped in a leader who is tough and demanding, but worth following.

Charisma is the force that makes people walk to the edge of the world for you.
