This review is from: The 10 Qualities Of Charismatic People: Secrets of Personal Magnetism (Audio CD)

Not very enlightning; tired old leadership topics stringed together (active listening, dress-for-success, goals setting, morals, situational leadership, etc). I was hoping for more but it did not deliver. The CD's summary is: have goals, dress and play nice.
