Sometimes I scoff at "charisma" being a trait looked for in leaders but then I see anything Zelenskyy and I'm reminded yeah ok damn I can see that. The man is arguably one of the most effective politicians ever elected. And wholesome af. Hopefully one day he can go back to comedy.

He had a lot of practice being an entertainer.

This is not intended as a slight. Charisma can be learned like many other skills.

@eestileib @CptEnder Disagree, if it could be learned, Putin would have some by now.

It can be learned, but you have to be willing for it and it needs a special trait as base requirement, neither Putin nor other Dictators have: Humility and Honesty.
