Summary: Exploit Your Charisma, Your Personal Key to the Top
Comment: If you are an executive, or aspire to be one, read this book. Debra Benton simplifies the mystery of charisma into six practical, proven steps that anyone can immediately apply.

"Executive Charisma" is full of time - tested advice from the top business leaders of our time. It is a fast read, perfectly suited for busy people committed to life-long development.

As a practicing executive, I witness first-hand how top leaders relate to others on a daily basis. Those who know how to access and apply the 'soft' leadership skills are the winners, period. No matter how bright and classicaly educated a leader is, those who rise to the top have mastered the art of charisma.

Read Benton's book and learn how easy it is to turn up the juice on your executive charisma.

Summary: Leaders lead - and this book tells you WHY and HOW
Comment: Debra Benton once more provides an insightful and meaningful tool that helps demystify what it takes to be not only an effective executive, but a leader in the true sense of the word. Drawing from her own experience, and a wealth of personal and business contacts that include some of the most powerful and influential CEOs in America, Debra's advice passes the only true test: it works. I think I understand something about leadership, but this work puts it into full perspective, reminds me of what is important, and best of all, extends into every facet of daily life. It is one of only a very few 'how to' books that I would pass on to my colleagues, business contacts, family, and friends. Her writing is clear and exemplary; her subject learned and the delivery so very effective: a short read for long results.

Summary: A Good Read!
Comment: Remember everything your mother told you. Stand up straight. Pull your shoulders back. Be outgoing. Smile. If you've forgotten these lessons, this is for you. It's not what you know, it's who you know - and what they think and feel about you - that makes all the difference in your career. Be human. Ask for favors. Ask for information. Pitch in. Have a sense of humor. Speak slowly and listen carefully. Author D.A. Benton's presumably deep, probing interviews with 500 executives convinced her that charisma isn't inborn. She believes that everyone can learn to be charismatic. Just follow the six steps that can turn even the most repulsive excuse for a manager into a charming, charismatic executive. So, read this and practice. There's no harm in it, and it might do some good. However, while recommending this basic manual, suspects that the nature of charisma is a bit like the way a jazz musician explained the nature of jazz - if you have to ask what it is, you'll never know.
