“A rare personal quality attributed to leaders who arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm.” A definition of Charisma
Fmr. President John F Kennedy and his look-alike Fmr. President Bill Clinton have often been called “The most charismatic leaders of 2000th century”
Another good example would be Adolf Hitler. While looking in retrospect, Hitler was a tyrant. But the primary reason for him to raise from a “Bohemian corporal” to “Herr Führer” was his ability to captivate people into following him.
So the stduy of Charismatic leaders, whether they are building a group, be it religious or as basic as a political party, a raving fan basis or a business team like Richard Branson, will often focus strongly what makes the group very unique and clear and distinct, thus separating it from other groups. The leader will then build the image of the group in the minds of their followers, as being far superior to all others.
This is exactly what Hitler and his Aryan Superiority Theory did. |
