Charismatic Leaders

Charismatic leaders lead with ‘concern for people’ and not ‘concern over production’. They are concerned with the needs of their subordinates and accept inputs from them. They are determined to create a comfortable, friendly organization and believe such environment will lead to efficient work and results.

Examples of such charismatic leaders are Adolph Hitler, Winston Churchill, Bill Clinton, Mother Teresa and Cult leaders. They all lead by reaching out to human emotion and grasping their trust, gaining their respect and loyalty, maybe even encouraging them to do whatever the leaders tell them to. Charismatic leaders are confident that such leadership methods will work.

They keep the vision of the company’s future on-par with employee satisfaction towards their jobs. They are dedicated and willing to take on unconventional methods, sacrifice financial safety, raise risks, employee and personal time to reach their goal. They participate in actions that will create or impress subordinates.
