influence vs. charisma

Re: influence vs. charisma

Can you be charismatic and influential? Yep

Can you be charismatic and not influential? Nope

Can you be influential and not charismatic? Absolutely.

Maybe that will explain the difference a bit, (or just confuse the crap out of everyone...)

Charismatic people will always be influential but influential people are not always charismatic imho.

That's exactly the way I would explain it to a 6-yr-old

To quote that great lyricist Ice cube - "To a kid looking up to me, life ain't nothin' but bitches and money" - NWA "Gangsta Gangsta"

Influence - I could see influence be effective being negative. If we don't do what the boss or dictator tells us or wants us to do, there could be negative consequences.

Charisma - I see as admirable qualities even if they shouldn't be. Charisma can lead to influence too. For example, hip hop music has influenced language, clothes and culture. The rappers have charismatic traits that people want to emulate.

Re: influence vs. charisma

Charisma and influence go hand in hand because people with Charisma can influence a lot of other people. Charisma is something I see as a positive atribute in the 1st place though people who have weird ideas and plans but have Charisma so others follow their visions can create a lot of problems. Influence instead is mainly a very negative subject for me because I rather associate influence with using and abusing power be it politically or economically to put pressure on somebody or a group of people.

Influence: Using your power/money to get laid
Charisma: Using your good looks and ability to lie well to get laid

Re: influence vs. charisma

charisma is what I obtain when I'm under the influence.
