LESSON NOTES
Charismatic leaders are good at inspiring and motivating their followers to achieve their goals. They do this by tapping into team members’ emotions, creating a sense of trust, commitment, and passion for a purpose that they believe in.

Max Weber looked at why people follow a leader. One of the reasons he discovered was charisma.

Robert House described his charismatic leadership theory in a paper ‘Theory of Charismatic Leadership’.

House’s ‘Theory of Charismatic Leadership’
To use a charismatic leadership style, we must:
• Promote strong values-based principles
• Live by those values
• Demonstrate absolute integrity
• Show competence in everything you do
• Also show confidence in your decisions and in your team
• Build up the capabilities, confidence, and motivation of your followers

There are many risks to charismatic leadership – especially when it becomes the dominant style.

RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books - perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.

So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:
