Editor's Notes
Charisma is a term often used in discussing leaders. It is not a new term and has often
been used in describing historical leaders in biography. More recent research, however,
has identified some of the typical behaviours and powers of so-called charismatic and
transformational leaders. These discussions illuminate leaders who have inborn
special abilities that make them powerful agents of social change within their groups
or organizations. Of course, to implement change outside their own groups, these
leaders need to be especially persuasive since authority cannot be utilized in these
situations. A recent documentary detailing Tony Blair’s leadership of Great Britain
illustrated his remarkable persuasive dexterity. Blair had the amazing ability to
persuade not only his nation’s citizens but other leaders and groups around the world.
For example, he convinced all other nations that his home city of London was an
attractive location to host the forthcoming Olympic Games. He was equally successful
in persuading political leaders in several European countries and the United States of
the desirability of adopting his ‘‘humanitarian interventionism’’ proposal. However, it
does appear that natural charismatic leaders are in short supply as many observers
will have noticed. We argue that effective persuasion does not require an innate
charisma but can be learned or improved as persuasion is based on knowledge as
well as genetically inherited personality characteristics. One should use charismatic
leaders when available but relying on them to fill the many leadership roles required in
nations, organizations, classroom, churches, and homes is impossible. Charismatic
leaders are persuasive but persuasiveness can be learned by those without such innate
capacities. The roots of persuasiveness include passion, conviction, and energetic
purpose—all of which can be found and cultivated in many individuals. We would also point out that many leaders with unquestioned charisma and powers of persuasion
have been among the most evil persons in the history of the world creating great damage to many persons, groups, nations, and the world itself. Our concept of the
persuasive leader involves the concept of ethical, responsible, and even noble leadership
in terms of behaviours and goals.
