The history of this planet is filled with names that will be known for generations to come because of the impact they’ve had on society. Whether that impact was a good or a bad thing, the main thing a lot of these people have in common is that they had a leadership role in whatever system they operated in, and they were ridiculously charismatic. They were able to persuade the masses to see their point of view and shifted the world closer towards their ideal situation.
Let’s dive in the history books and take a look at some of these leaders that were known for having a huge charismatic effect on the people around them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon was mostly known for the way he managed to keep his troops inspired, but his one mistake was not knowing when to quit. Eventually he tried to conquer too many countries, started making mistakes and he started to distrust his advisors. We’ll always have him to thank for the so-called Napoleon complex.
Malcolm X
Malcolm established the Nation of Islam in America before black people really had any rights. His methods were known to be very violent and revolutionary, as he actually attempted to create a seperate state for black people to live in. He was a very charismatic speaker and managed to rally about 40,000 people to his cause before converting to traditional Islam and stepping away from his violent methods.
Aung San Suu Kyi
She has been the symbol of independence for her nation of Myanmar. After spending about two decades imprisoned in her own home and fighting for the rights of her people, she has sadly fallen from grace quite a bit as she did very little to protect the muslim minority in Myanmar from the military. She is currently imprisoned for “inciting dissent” and will probably remain imprisoned for life.
