This document discusses charismatic leadership. It defines charisma as a special quality that differentiates some leaders from others. Charismatic leaders use impression management to cultivate relationships with group members and influence them to attribute charismatic qualities to the leader. The effects of charismatic leadership include group members trusting the leader's beliefs, accepting the leader unquestioningly, and identifying with the leader's mission. There are five types of charismatic leaders, and while charisma can be developed, there is also a potential downside to charismatic leadership if it is not handled responsibly.
