Character overrides Charisma by Julius Akubo
A young man in his early twenties walked
briskly into an organization for an interview with all the “ confidence in the world ”. Having graduated from one of the best schools in the world , one wouldn ’ t expect less than the Italian suit and shoes he wore coupled with the Rolex wristwatch he was putting on . Amazingly he met a lady just some few steps before the receptionist . Trying to catch up with time the lady incidentally stepped on him . Not even waiting for any form of apology he busted into nagging . The lady tried all she could to calm him down but only then did his uncontrolled anger aggravated . He ranted for some few minutes even after the lady had gone , then he finally went to the receptionist to be directed to his place of interview . Getting to the spot of interview he discovered that the lady he had just finished ranting on was the head of the panel conducting the interview . You could imagine what happened even after emerging as the most qualified paper-wise in that interview . We have become so charisma oriented that we have thrown away an important quality as character . Charisma may sure be a ladder to top but only character will sustain you there .
