I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment. However, I think psychologists would disagree with the idea that charisma -> dishonesty, and I think holding such a viewpoint is damaging to long-term success.

Psychopaths are usually both extremely charismatic and extremely dishonest though, so there is some merit to the idea.

All good liars are charismatic != all charismatic people are liars
