Charismatic Leaders "Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.'' I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too.
Max Weber • Adapted theological concept of charisma to leadership in general • Extraordinariness bestowed by followers, rather than God • Five requirements: • Extraordinary gifts • A crisis • A radical solution to the crisis • Followers who believe in a link, through leader, to transcendent powers • Validation through repeated success
Conger and Kanungo • Charisma is attributed to leaders by followers • Depends on both leader attributes and the situation • Leader behaviors • Vision of change (within limits) • Self-sacrificing, risk-taking • Confidence • Environmental sensitivity
Other Approaches • The Psychodynamic approach • Followers idolize or worship charismatic leader • Leader takes on followers’ unexpressed guilt, fears, etc. • Social Contagion • Personal identification with leader • Followers adopt symbols to set themselves apart from others • Identification spreads in manner of fashions or fads
