1 “GOOD KARMA COMES FROM CHARISMA”
From transactional to transformational leadership
James MacGregor Burns, 2017 Nobel Prize – Richard H. Thaler: NUDGE
Transformational leadership is a concept based on transforming the values and attitudes of your team – from self-serving goals to long-term, higher-ranking objectives – ultimately generating a performance increase.
Transformational leaders try to intrinsically motivate their employees, for instance by offering attractive visions, laying out the mutual path to success, serving as role models and supporting their employees’ individual development.
2 “The Fourfold Effect Of Leaders”
Senders with 4 beaks, recipients with 4 ears
F. Schulz, Thun Communication Square
When you speak as a leader, you have a fourfold effect without even knowing it. By definition, all your statements contain 4 messages. Utilizing them effectively will add glamor to you and your message. How often do you consciously use a self-revelatory “I have experienced” rather than a general “it has been found that...”? This self-revelation provides a taste of your personality, feelings, values, idiosyncrasies and needs. It is an expression of your glamor.
3 “Nudging Is The Best Weapon For Successful Leadership”
Emotion beats reason
Donald Hebb’s synaptic plasticity and active adaptability of the brain, Nobel Prize 2017 – Richard H. Thaler: NUDGE
Why so serious? Intensity and emotions are the dung of neuroplasticity. They are the motor of change and a driving force behind your glamor factor. Emotions have a direct impact on our brain chemistry, in particular on the emission of neurotransmitters. These are crucial for transferring signals and for creating neural synapses and pathways, activating changes in the brain. You can change individual behavior and decisions by introducing and communicating so-called standards – ideally, emotionally charged ones:

4 “Dressed For Success”
The Effect of Attire on Forensic Competitors and Judges: Does Clothing Make a Difference?
M. Anway Jones
Dressing is a question of respect. What you wear reflects how much respect you have for the task at hand. Thinking about your own style, appearance and outfit also has a psychological effect. When you dress for success and create your own style, you will act differently and radiate a certain glamor. Your self-confidence will increase as you strive to meet your own high standards.
Projection is often negatively connoted as a psychological defense mechanism. In the context of style, it has a healthy effect on each of us as well as on our environment. Successful people that dress for success are attractive! Just remember to follow up with the right words and deeds.
5 “Think Big”
New Zealand’s economic strategy in the 1980s that decreased dependence on other countries
Thinking big means being unafraid. It means overestimating rather than underestimating yourself and others. It implies focusing on potentials and opportunities rather than weaknesses and risks. Strengthening strengths is an old, glamorous saying that is experiencing a renaissance. Verbalize the strengths and potentials of your employees. This will help them believe in you and your grand visions.
6 “Great Ideas – Great Deeds”
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Klaus Grawe’s Consistency Theory
Employees are looking for answers to the big questions in life: the What?, Why? and How? behind their work. Tolstoy’s answers to these questions are timeless. They were conceived in a different era but are still valid today to promote happiness and success. “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” This first sentence in Tolstoy’s classic has become known as the Anna Karenina Principle. Even 130 years after this novel was published, the concept still holds true for glamorous leaders. Try applying the happy family principle to your office family. You will see fantastic results: collaboration, stronger members supporting the weak, fairness, transparency, openness, morals and ethics.

Inference of Attitude from Nonverbal Communication in Two Channels
Mehrabian and Ferris
The Merkel Diamond has been on everyone’s lips for years. This illustrates the significance of nonverbal communication for your own nonverbal skills and your personal glamor. A study by Albert Mehrabian has shown that you can successfully enhance your effect on your conversation partner with 55% body language (e.g., posture, gestures and eye contact), 38% tone and 7% credible content. It’s a simple way to boost your glamor factor.
