Oh, I didn’t know the word meant “gift.” How fascinating! You’re right that some people are naturally charismatic (just as some people are natural writers.) But this doesn’t mean the skill can’t be developed in others.
If you’re interested in the topic I think you should read the book. The author demonstrates quite convincingly that while mastery of language is important, it’s FAR from being the prime factor in charisma.

If so, it comes from some where else. Of course it can and should be developed and enhanced. Some people are naturally charismatic.
One can not go to Harvard ( it is a school in MA) to major in Charisma. The study of leaders indicates the primacy of the Mastery of Language, as in Oratory (Churchill; Pericles,)
