Charismatic Leadership Approach

• Charismatic leadership is closely related to the above discussion. One of the early studies of characteristics was done by Robert J. House. He and other authors indicate that charismatic leaders may have certain characteristics, such as being self-confident, having strong convictions, articulating a vision, being able to initiate change, communicating high expectations, having a need to influence followers and supporting them, demonstrating enthusiam and excitement, and being in touch with reality. While these may be admirable characteristics, other factors such as the characteristics of the followers and the situation may impact on effective leadership.
