Have you ever wondered why so many people can be attracted to a certain individual, as if that individual has a magical magnet that draws other people to them? I have met several people like that. They command respect, ooze affection and make it easy to get along with them. You may describe such people as charming, pleasant or lovely. An important aspect of being charming is that those who naturally draw others to themselves do not necessarily fit in with the general definition of physical beauty. However, it is as if something invisible makes them easy to love, work with or befriend. That makes me think that becoming desirable has more to do with what we produce from the inside of us. That includes how we think, talk, act and relate with those around us. The fact is that someone may be physically beautiful and yet be annoyingly disgusting to relate with, while another person may not be that physically attractive but is very easy to love and do life with. The personality that you exude determines whether people will cling to you or resist you. No matter how handsome or beautiful you think you are, it takes an appealing personality to become a person people can love. No one becomes delectable just because they put on a nice-looking dress and wear the most expensive make-up. Real beauty comes first from the inside, and it radiates outward. Even if someone is mistaken for a likable personality because of their attractive physical appearance, it is only a matter of time before the hypnotic spell is broken. It is possible for you and me to become irresistible to others. A desirable and inviting personality can open doors to many opportunities. When people get closer to you to discover your positive vibe and your respectable character, it becomes easy for them to trust you and relate with you. That does not mean that there a no people that take advantage of good people to do bad things. Nevertheless, you are likely to attract the kind of person that you are. If your heart is right, you will attract the right kind of person to yourself. The main point here is to make yourself irresistible; to become someone others want to relate and do business with.

This newsletter hit a wonderful nerve today. It served as a beautiful reminder. I have been in the retail construciton industry for 21 yrs. In 2015 I was confronted by my long time mentor and asked if I knew what my job site nickname was. When I heard the derogatory name, I was humiliated. I was confused because the one reprimanding me was the one who “trained” me to be the type of micromanaging dictating leader I had become. Something happened that day. My heart was set on a mission to learn a new style of leading. In 2019 I met a construction manager by the name of Deane Surface that was exactly like the person in your newsletter. He was a job site magnet. People loved him and loved being around him when he visited the job site. I had the privilege of being mentored by him for a season, and he set me on a path to learn the power of genuine relationships. He encouraged me to be kind and curious and pour into the people around me. I have learned a style of leadership that is getting attention from the contractors I lead, from my project managers, and even from owner/client reps. I’m learning to lead with the same heart I have for my 5 and 4 year old boys. Genuine love and wonder and curiosity. It’s so much fun. My job sites are night and day from before. Thank you for the reminder!!!!

Hi Mike, thank you for sharing your personal story. It helped drive home the main point of the newsletter. It is true that people want to work with a leader who cares about them. If we care about one another, the work becomes easier to do. Thank you once again.
