Advantages Of Charismatic Leadership

❖ Selling The Vision.These leaders are often exceptional at selling the vision and getting people to come along for the ride. They are geniuses at helping people to see possibilities and potentials ... to buy into something bigger than themselves. They are generally masters at weaving stories and anecdotes that enable people to buy into a big dream - e.g. JFK leading a nation to put the first man on the moon CONVINCE HIS FATHER TO EXPAND THE BUSINESS AND HAVE A VISION BIGGER THEN HIS FATHER DID ❖ Inspiring. Their generally optimistic and positive nature draws people to them like a moth to a flame. Often these leaders do inspire people to be at their best and the work environments they create can be very motivating to employees and colleagues alike. HE ALWAYS INSPIRE HIS COLLEGE TO CONTRIBUTE NEW IDEA ❖ Drive Results. A highly charismatic leader can have people willing to walk over hot coals for him or her. Because of this they can achieve results and often get things done that other leadership styles may not. Think Hitler, Lee Iacocca

Charismatic Leadership Pitfalls

❖ Group Think. Because these leaders are so popular it can cause Team Members to stifle their own beliefs and values which may be in conflict with those of the leader. The danger in this is that you get 'group think' and/or people going along with the ride even when they sense that maybe the direction they are heading in is shaky. LEAD THEM TO DON’T BELIEVE IN THEMSELF ❖ Lack of Independence. Teams being lead by a charismatic leader can struggle to become more self-managing because the group's identity can become caught up in that of the leader and his or her ego. The team can often focus on the leader to help them succeed rather than building the systems and self-fortitude to think and act
