This is something it took me a long time to learn. Now I’m good at it.

I am reminded of the difference between charisma and charm. Charisma is persuading people to follow you to the ends of the earth. Charm is persuading people that you would follow them to the ends of the earth.

Charisma is optional. Some level of charm is required. It’s collaboration lube. But it’s not like you need to be David Niven or something.
