Describe the leading characteristics of charismatic leaders.

Correct Answer

verifed

Charismatic leaders are visionary in that they have the ability to articulate an idealized vision of a future that is significantly better than the present. In addition to having a vision, charismatic leaders can communicate complex ideas and goals in clear, compelling ways, so that everyone from the top management level to the bottom level of the organization can understand and identify with their message. Charismatic leaders build trust in their followers through unshakable self-confidence, an abiding faith, strong moral conviction, and optimism. They also build support and trust by showing commitment to followers' needs over self-interest and by being fair. Charismatic leaders affirm self-advocacy for their vision and gain the admiration and respect of their followers by putting themselves on the line. They are energetic and serve as role models for getting things done on time. Their relationship with their followers is intensely relational and based almost entirely upon referent and expert power, unlike other types of leadership. Charismatic leaders empower followers by building their self-efficacy.

People such as Adolf Hitler and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, are examples of leaders who were born with charisma.
