☛ Having charisma:

Some people have an easy task in attracting he others. People follow them, just because of their charisma and non-verbal communication (or energy if you want).

☛ Being a role model:

Some people like to go by an example, working hard themselves, doing maximum every day. The others typically follow such an example. Oppositely, when employees see a boss just sits in the office and gives orders, they will often have a tendency to ignore him or at least not like him.

☛ Connecting with the others:

Some leaders are able to connect with all types of personalities. They can identify right topics for conversation and simply connect with the others. Once a connection is made, it is easier for the leader to make the employees to follow his example and orders, because they naturally like him.
