My Leadership Page

I made my leadership map into sections. Each section has links to where I would most likely look for what I am interested daily. If I have time to read and relax I can go into my section where I can do research or just learn some interesting facts!

Charasmatic Leadership!

 A Charismatic Leader!!

"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on"

I was very attracted to the Charismatic Leadership Theory because I thought about just charm and personality of people. I believe that someone who is just so energetic and sends good vibes will always be followed no matter the outcome. Charismatic Leaders have this theatrical sense using metaphors, symbols, and storytelling.  Many actors, singers, and artists are known a charismatic leaders. This type of leader is well aware that they can attach a significance to a group to make them feel important and they can also speak in a one-on-one interaction.

A leader such as this is like the cheerleader that comes up to the top not because of authority but because of the way they present themselves.

I chose to to put a picture up of JFK because many political leaders are known as Charismatic Leaders. JFK had characteristics of charismatic leader. When he spoke about the goals the US should have he made us unique and proud to be American. When political leaders make their public speeches they all have different but exciting ways of getting their point across. Many leaders while running in an election use their charisma to excite their followers.

Overall, I really liked researching this theory because it also can tie with transformational theory. Both can create change within a group and it takes a charismatic leader to cope with change.
