Unfortunately I don’t know of any articles that give those points. If you simply wanted to reference those points to say that I believe them, then you could reference the comments above, as you would someone whom you’ve interviewed. However, I haven’t fully developed my arguements, so all you could really say is ‘Simon Oates thinks X’. If that’s any help, let me know, but I can’t point you to a solid essay that contains these points.

Positive sides of charismatic leadership:

-High morale for what is effectively a ‘free’ resouce (charisma). Which is therefore a cheaper motivator than salary increases.
-Good public relations. A charismatic leader is also likely to capture the charms of the consumer or client, as well as their employees.
-

Negative Sides

-Difficult to assess any candidate with excellent charisma. Good speaking skills may mask other poor traits or inexperience.
-A leadership structure orientated around a charismatic individual is more vulnerable to collapse in the leaders absense to one that is built around values and an entire management team.

I hope these pointers get you started!

Simon Oates,

Thank you.
