CHARISMATIC AND TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
TWO EARLY THEORIES
Charisma
- The current theories of charismatic leaderships were strongly influenced by the ideas of an early sociologist named Max Weber.
- Charisma is a Greek work that means the ability to perform miracles or predict future events.
- Weber (1947) used the term to describe a form of influence based not on tradition or formal authority but rather on follower perceptions that the leader is endowed with exceptional qualities
