Personal Branding for teams - why you must have it

Adventurer, Charmer or Rebel?
Some people have it, others don't. A quality that seems to set a few special individuals apart from the rest of us mere mortals. They seem to get the right jobs and earn the big bucks. The mere mention of there name in association with an idea or project seems to generate much more interest than it other wise would.
