He breaks down the all-important 'charisma' into eight critical elements, explaining how each component works and offering practical development steps for each.

Media Reviews
This is an important book and one very different from most leadership books. While most leadership books point out what makes a great leader, how to create a vision, strategy, develop teams, etc. Gobillot looks at what makes followers follow certain leaders, what attracts them. --Joshua Reich JoshuaReich.org
[A] fresh and different approach to the discussion of leadership... The author has made a valuable contribution to the field in this book, which is an easy and enjoyable read. --John Gibbs Notary Public, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer
Fresh, authentic and applicable - that is how Emmanuel Gobillot approaches the topic of leadership. At last a book about leadership that elevates the conversation beyond the egocentricity of the leader himself. Why do people follow? What an insightful and powerful question to ask. This is one of the only books I have ever read that applies a leadership skill to the business of writing leadership books - it walks a mile in the follower's shoes. As the saying goes, if you have no followers, you are simply out for a walk. --Peter Sheahan Global bestselling author of Generation Y, Fl!p and Making it Happen
