4 things define someone who is charismatic in a genuine way. Not just some kind of fake superficial thing.
- Competence
So, what I like to say is it’s difficult to find young people who are truly charismatic because they just don’t have the experience particularly in construction.
- Confidence
Right? So, competence is very important and then confidence comes from that competence. And that confidence is not a cockiness that comes from an inflated self-opinion, but it comes from knowing that I know how to start and finish a project and I know how to deal with the difficulties and the challenges.
I know what it means to go face to face with someone and negotiate a tough change order. I know what it means to be a professional construction person.
- Clarity
You’re in the meeting with someone and they’ve been there before, so they know what to do in this circumstance. And there’s clarity about what needs to be done.
- Care
They care about their company. They care about their clients. They care about the project.
