I have accepted my grey hair since then. I have had to. The celebrity “silver foxes” don’t __50__ me as strongly as they used to.

Personality may play only a small part in leadership effectiveness but there is no doubt that some leaders have a certain magic that leaves peers envious and followers entranced. If you could bottle this leadership X-factor –charisma（个人魅力）— the queue of interested executives would be a long one. But what qualities can these often highly successful leaders be said to possess? As individuals, charismatic leaders have highly developed communication skills, including the ability to convey emotions easily and naturally to others, says Ronald Riggio, professor of leadership and organizational psychology. “They are able to inspire and arouse the emotions of followers through their emotional expressiveness and verbal skills.” “They connect with followers because they seem to truly understand others’ feelings and concerns.” “And they are great role models because they have the ability to engage others socially and display appropriate role-playing skills that allow them to walk the talk,” Professor Riggio says. “One quality we like in our leaders is if they are seen to really represent us. We think someone is more charismatic, the more they represent our collective identity,” Professor Van Knippenberg says. In this way, a charismatic leader is somehow a larger-than-life version of ourselves. Academics say that charismatic lenders also manage to stand out from the crowd. They might do this by being unconventional or by thinking a different approach to problem-solving, for example. “They are up for new things, and they are not stuck in the status quo. They are open to out-of-the-box thinking, etc. An optimistic, energetic quality helps us to see leadership qualities in them and makes us open to their influence,” he says. “A lot of charismatic leadership, and leadership in general, is very contextual. It’s really entrepreneurial firms. It’s also good for turnarounds if the organization is in a bad state because it inspires,” says Kai Peters, the chief executive of Ashridge Business School.” But not every organization needs a charismatic leader. Leaders are loaded with the narcissistic（自恋的）, self-glorifying, exploitative and authoritarian（专制的）. As Peters says, “Where it is a problem is where you have to look at me, I’m a star.”
