Explanation:

1. The main characteristic that distinguishes a charismatic leader from others is the capacity to communicate in a familiar environment with the audience, and at the same time they are normally able to establish an emotional connection with the participants.

2.The four components of leadership are:

      1: To establish direction and strategy.

      2: To supervise activity.

      3: To solve problems.

      4: To offer support to the collaborators.

In order to fulfil these four components the most important part is to establish trust among the team, and communication skills are the most important part in order to do so.

3. Normally, it has been found that a high IQ leads to a good leadership. SInce IQ is defined as the ability for reasoning, it is also possible to talk about emotional intelligence or EQ which is considered an ability used to have an emotional connection with others that includes empathy, friendship, supportiveness).

4. According to research it is important to be intelligent in order to be a good leader, however, humans located at the highest levels of intellect are not normally related with a good leadership.

A psychological study developed by John Antonakis of the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, showed that the average IQ in normal people is around 100-110, good leaders are located at around 120-125 and above that there is a great gap in which a good communication process hardly occurs.

5. The difference between traits and talents is that the first ones are part of the personality, the lead people to the way they act or behave, for example: friendship, generous, helpful.

The second ones, are the abilities that humans have and they can also be developed and improved, for example: dancing, singing, playing soccer, riding the bike.
