We found that charismatic leaders usually have the following four outstanding charismatic qualities:
First, a firm belief.
Charismatic leaders have a firm belief in long-term vision. They are regarded as determined and adventurous leaders who can make self-sacrifice to realize their long-term vision.
It is not difficult to understand that firm belief is very important for personal success and enterprise development.
Especially in the start-up period, on the one hand, if enterprises want to expand their business and open up markets, they will inevitably face great pressure to survive. Without a firm belief in the goal, the development of enterprises is bound to be difficult.
On the other hand, start-ups have to find a way to grow and develop under the great pressure of survival. In the process of enterprise transformation, most employees will feel confused or lost about the development prospects of the enterprise. If the leaders of enterprises lack firm belief in the success of enterprise transformation and can't lead their subordinates out of the confused period of transformation, then enterprises can't last long.
Relevant research shows that the failure rate of corporate transformation in the United States is as high as 80%, which is closely related to the lack of firm belief in the whole organization.
Second, keen insight.
Conger believes that charismatic leaders have a keen insight into reality, they realistically evaluate various environmental resources and constraints within the organization, and formulate change strategies and unconventional actions according to the realistic evaluation of environmental resources.
Generally speaking, charismatic leaders are good at grasping the opportunity, not blindly impulsive, and often have to make full preparations in advance and wait patiently for the right place, the right time and the emergence of intersection. Of course, setting goals is the first step, but charismatic leaders don't act immediately after setting goals.
Of course, charismatic leaders can take decisive action, or move forward or change their strategies once they confirm that the environment is favorable or extremely unfavorable. It is conceivable that once the leader's insight into the environment and reality declines or disappears, charismatic leaders may lose their charm and it is difficult to control the situation.
Third, excellent eloquence and communication skills.
Most charismatic leaders have excellent eloquence and communication skills, and they are very provocative in speeches and speeches. They often show their extraordinary knowledge accumulation in conversations, and the content they speak is more profound in thought and appeal, so they often have great appeal to followers, thus making subordinates willing to follow around.
Under the guidance of this passion and enthusiasm, it is easier for subordinates who follow charismatic leaders to understand and grasp the vision and expectations of charismatic leaders, thus more effectively supporting and promoting the vision of charismatic leaders for the future.
Fourth, a high degree of confidence and appeal.
Charismatic leaders have strong self-confidence and strong appeal, which is also the endogenous requirement of charismatic leadership characteristics. Therefore, charismatic leaders are extremely firm and brave, and never doubt the justice and correctness of their beliefs.
In this sense, charismatic leaders will have fewer inner conflicts than ordinary people, they will feel comfortable with their own values and motives, emotional control and emotional release, and even if they violently reprimand their subordinates, they will not feel uneasy or ashamed.
On the contrary, once the general leaders encounter setbacks or are criticized and corrected, they often have the idea of self-doubt. It can be said that the more confident a leader is, the more he can motivate his subordinates and make them devote themselves to realizing the leader's wishes.
Second, the behavior of charismatic leaders with one heart and one mind.
The effectiveness of charismatic leaders in motivating followers is closely related to their behavioral characteristics. Charismatic leaders often show many behavioral characteristics different from non-charismatic leaders, the most important of which is vision motivation.
