charisma

Charisma is an exceptional quality that makes the very few people who possess it able to influence others by attracting their admiration and obedience. The term derives from ancient Greek and originally meant “gift.” From Christian theology, where it designates a special gift given by God's grace, the concept has entered the political vocabulary through the reflection of German sociologist Max Weber.
