Charisma. You might be thinking that this trait is somewhat mystical and not within your grasp. Yet, the literature states that charisma, like other character traits, can be developed by being enthusiastic, optimistic, caring about people, not talking down to them.

Part 2 Instructions
You remember the story of Alice in Wonderland when she was searching for a way out of Wonderland; she came to a fork in the road. "Which road should I take?" she asked the Cheshire Cat. "Where are you going?" the cat responded. Alice said she didn't know. The smiling cat gave her this reply, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will lead you there."
It is a common belief that what you learned in the first grade is the base of your success. This story about Alice in Wonderland is a good example.
Alice wanted to get out of Wonderland, but she did not know what road to take. In life, many times some people are of the same way. This also applies to some companies and organizations. This module revolves around strategic leadership and managing crises and change.
