This chapter distinguished charismatic leadership from transformational leadership. Yet charisma is identified by most employees and managers as a characteristic of effective leaders. Why is charisma commonly related to leadership? In your opinion, are the best leaders charismatic? Why or why not?

Charisma is an innate ability of some human beings to be able to charm, persuade, fascinate or seduce another individual through their way of being and acting. These characteristics are part of the characteristics that need to be found in a leader. For this reason, charisma is commonly related to leadership.

Charismatics have a vision, and as such are willing to take and take risks with that vision, charismatic leaders are sensitive to both the environmental limitations and the needs of their followers and demonstrate behaviors different from ordinary ones.

In my opinion, the best leaders are those who are charismatic within a certain limit. It is understandable to expect charisma from a political or religious leadership after all these cases may involve mobilizing a significant number of followers often distant from the leader but who need to feel close (or more specifically identified) with the one they represent (or should represent) the greater good or the supreme good. However, in the case of corporate leaders, social organizations, innovative enterprises, among others, identification occurs in other ways and charisma will only become relevant when faced with a crisis situation, when there is skepticism about In the future, we really seem to be looking for something magical that can reverse the situation.
