Jones discussed the importance of a leader’s ability to influence followers and provided support by presenting the strength of charismatic leadership traits and situational leadership theory within a military setting. While the strengths of both the personality and the chosen leadership style may be valid determinants of leadership success, they do not always correlate to long-term shaping of follower readiness. Specifically, in the case of situational leadership theory, the research of Vecchio, Bullis, and Brazil (2006) concluded that “it has yet to be demonstrated that leaders who attempt to emulate the prescriptions of the theory will have higher effectiveness” (p. 418). Their findings placed more value on the positive effects of leader-member…
When asked to describe an ideal leader, many would name attributes such as intelligence, toughness, determination and vision, which are all qualities traditionally associated with leadership. What most would often forget is that while softer skills are not as prominent in many leaders, these skills play an immense part in a leader’s overall success. In fact, some studies indicate that emotional intelligence may be the key attribute that distinguishes outstanding performers from those who are merely adequate. Micki King, John Sirica and Patsy Mink are just a few leaders who display a great balance of traits that caused them to thrive in their respective fields. Micki King, or Maxine Joyce King, is an American former competitive diver and diving…
Character, communication, focus, initiative, listening, self-discipline, and vision are just a few of the many leadership traits named in the book. One trait that seemed discussed a lot to the reader in both the book and the text was Charisma.

It is essential to first take a look at the definition of leadership that Northouse (2013) has identified as practices is which one impacts and influences groups of people in order to accomplish a “common goal” (Sharp, 2015). In module one, Leadership Primer, Sharp explains that in order to be an effective leader, one has to be able to “reach out and engage other people as followers” (2015). This becomes a common goal amongst leaders; however, various approaches and theories base an individual’s leadership ability on different processes. The trait approach explains leadership as assigned and inborn characteristics and argues that all leaders share the same traits such as intelligence and extraversion (Northouse, 2013). On the other hand, the skills approach explains leadership in terms of emergent skills that anyone can develop in order to become an effective leader (Northouse, 2013).…
An individual develops charisma by being people oriented. In order to know which words to say to another person to inspire them to work diligently, a leader must understand the variety of different personalities, and how each one responds to certain scenarios. Along with being well spoken, people with charisma have a talent for alternating tone and body position to match the mood of an audience. In essence, charisma can develop in a person who learns how different people respond, and how to interpret it into his remarks and movements. With these skills, a leader can eloquently persuade people to work…

No matter where Jesus went, crowds of people were drawn to him and came to listen to him. Inspirational Motivation – Communicating the high expectations for followers and then motivating them to accomplish those goals is a characteristic of an effective transformational leader.…
Clendenin is faced with two options, one of which really has the potential to help him develop himself as a leader. One of Clendenin’s apparent weaknesses is the lack of variation he demonstrates in his leadership styles. According to Goleman’s Leadership That Gets Results, leaders can do one of two things to help expand their repertoire: build a team where they lack or develop their skills. Obviously, the latter is more beneficial to leader as they can bring those skills with them. However, Goleman also points out that development of these styles is reliant on having strong emotional intelligence.…
Charismatic leaders create a comfortable and welcoming environment using their charisma and social skills. They give their employees the feeling that their opinion matters and gives them confidence to speak up by listening to what they have to say.
