Charismatic and transformational leaders typically communicate their visions, goals, and directives in a colorful, imaginative, and expressive manner. In addition, they communicate openly with group members and create a comfortable communication climate. To set agendas that represent the interests of their constituents, charismatic leaders regularly solicit constituents’ viewpoints on critical issues. They encourage two-way communication with team members while still promoting a sense of confidence.

There are three related aspects of the communication style of charismatic leaders: leadership by inspiration, leadership by storytelling, and communication via social networking.
