Executive summary
This CQ Dossier describes the qualities of charismatic leaders and how they gain commitment to their vision and the mission of the organization. It draws on the main theories of charismatic leadership to present the key behaviors that distinguish charismatic leaders from non-charismatic leaders. The dossier describes how charismatic leaders use visionary language to gain commitment to their vision and how they tap into follower values in order to arouse emotion. Charismatic leaders are powerful communicators who are able to articulate a vision that is meaningful to their followers.
