What characterises mastery of this skill?
The behaviour of charming employees is characterised by admitting your own mistakes and demonstrating an appropriate level of vulnerability. Charming people are good listeners who add value by asking the right questions. They are considered trustworthy, generally have a good reputation in the organisation, and are well liked by colleagues.
What characterises a lack of this skill?
Employees lacking charm are usually less connected within the organisation. They might find it difficult to actively listen to others and offer them the proper level of praise and appreciation. They are less likely to admit to mistakes and have difficulty expressing their authentic interest in others.
“I think charm is the ability to be truly interested in other people.” — Richard Avedon
