Colleagues Award
What is today’s charismatic leader like: They are enablers — energetic, spirited, gutsy, feisty, and maybe a little bit of an ass-kicker.
Research shows…

-They excite their staff by constantly introducing new ideas.

-Have a creative ability that inspires others.
-Bring energy and focus to implementing new ideas.
-Change with the time at breakneck speed.
-Consider all situations with one eye always looking toward the future.
-They speed up processes and produce a competitive advantage. They enable people, they don’t manage people.
A charismatic leader gets millennial followers as well as Gen X and even Boomers.
Whether it’s called spunk, or magnetism, or presence, we look for that special something in someone who has that substance as well as style.
