Week 7 Discussion

Charismatic and Transformational Leadership

Thanks to online free lectures and trainings such as those offered by Ted Talks, individuals have easy access to leaders discoursing on everything from the power of vulnerability to improving food systems to the secret to happiness. The most successful lectures of this type are certainly delivered by knowledgeable speakers, but perhaps the most shared lectures are delivered by speakers who are able to convey the information in a charismatic manner. Charismatic leaders are able to capture the attention of their followers, but transformational leaders are able to keep that attention and to affect change. Charismatic and transformational leaders can be found in most organizations; however, because followers may differ in private versus public and nonprofit organizations, it makes sense that charismatic and transformative leadership behaviors may differ in public and nonprofit organizations.

For this Discussion, think for a moment about a leader in your community who is very charismatic. Think about how the leader exemplifies charisma. Pay particular attention to behaviors associated with charismatic leaders that influence followers. Then, consider the traits, abilities, and behaviors that are exemplified by a transformational leader.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 your explanation of how the behaviors of a charismatic leader compare with a transformational leader. Explain whether charisma always has a positive influence on followers, using specific examples. Finally, explain behaviors associated with transformative leadership and the impact of transformational leadership on followers.
