Charm and grace are all that is needed to create followers. Self-belief is a
fundamental need of leaders. Further, people follow others that they personally
admire. Leaders like Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, John F. Kennedy Jr,
Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr gathered followers through dint of
personality and charm, rather than any form of external power or authority.

In todays world, I think they would have been good leaders for a large MUNC.
It would be interesting to watch them 'working the room' as they move from
person to person. They pay much attention to the person they are talking to at
any one moment, making that person feel like they are, for that time, the most
important person in the world.

They would have given a great deal of attention in scanning and reading their
environment, and are good at picking up the moods and concerns of both
individuals and larger audiences. They then will hone their actions and words to
suit the situation.

They would use a wide range of methods to manage a business. They may
engender trust through visible self-sacrifice and taking personal risks in the name
of their beliefs. They will show great confidence in their followers. They are very
persuasive and make very effective use of body language as well as
verbal language.

If these leaders were in corporate world, they would often focus strongly on
making the business very clear and distinct, separating it from other corporations.
They will then build the image of the corporation, in particular in the minds of
their followers, as being far superior to all others.

They will typically attach themselves firmly to the identity of the business. In
doing so, they create an unchallengeable position for themselves.
