REACTION TO CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP THEORY

Charisma is a trait often associated with leaders and the

world is full of examples of people being described as
charismatic leaders. The term charismatic comes from the ancient
Greek word charis, which means grace, kindness and life.
Charismatic people are considered as graceful and virtuous. The
idea of using one’s charisma and influence in order to lead is
not a new way of looking at leadership, although the theories
around it are rather recent. Charismatic leadership is a trait-
based leadership theory where the leaders act as visionary driven
by their convictions and motivate their followers to work towards
common vision using their charm and persuasiveness. These
charismatic leaders act as role models and exhibit extraordinary
characteristics that inspire devotion and motivation in followers
to persuade change. Leaders are able to cultivate a profound
sense of trust with the group of followers.
