Speak with conviction. Use words like “I am sure” vs. tentative words like “I think, I hope and I feel.”Be tuned into humor. Self-deprecating humor can included – it’s ok to tell a story about an embarrassing moment.Be relevant. Know what’s happening in the world and around you. People want to be with people who are in the know.3) Body Speak:Be open and approachable. Gracious and graceful.:
Walk up to someone, smile, make eye contact, shake hands. Introduce yourself by saying your name, “Hi, I’m Fazlul, Fazlul Hoque.” That way people hear your voice twice4) Make The Conversation About The Other Person:
Let the world revolve around the person you’re talking to.Make the person feel like they are the only person on the planet at that time.Immediately put others at ease and make them feel comfortable with you.5) Be A Good listener:
You can’t remember everything, but remembering someone’s name is a biggie. Here’s a trick: When you are introduced to a person, immediately repeat their name. Example: “Hi! Joynul, it’s so nice to meet you.”Listen with interest. Pay attention. Engage. Be empathetic.

1) CONNECTION
Charisma exists only in a connection between the individual who is perceived as charismatic and their audience.2) PERSONAL VISION
Charismatic leaders despise detailed policy. There is an element of personal conviction, bordering on the magical, associated with the decision making process of a person with charisma – a magic the committee room destroys.3) DISTANCE
An ability to connect with a large audience of supporters, often by reinforcing and then heightening their existing beliefs, combined with his inability to interact in a normal everyday way with individuals.4) CERTAINTY
Always certain in his views.5) ENEMIES
It is virtually impossible to overestimate the importance of enemies to a charismatic leader.6) HOPE
‘here, it seemed to me, was hope’.7) SUCCESS
Leaders can only retain their charismatic appeal in the long term if they preside over a series of successes.
