When you look at leaders like Alexander the Great,
Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, John F. Kennedy, Vladimir Lenin and Barrack
Obama they all have one common style of leadership - charismatic
leadership. They stand out from the pack
of leaders because of their extraordinary qualities that are rarely found among
leaders. For instance, the solders of
Alexander blindly followed him because of his charismatic leadership. The soldiers marched towards victory during
Second World War under the charismatic leadership of Winston Churchill. Similarly the Germans were inspired with the
vision of Adolf Hitler. The Americans
were influenced with the charismatic leadership of John F. Kennedy who gave a
clarion call ‘don’t ask what the nation gave you; rather ask yourself what you
will give back to your nation’. Although
Barrack Obama is relatively young, people trusted and voted him as the
President of America because of his charismatic leadership.
