Leadership What are the differences between traditional leaders, official leaders, and charismatic leaders? Traditional; • They drive authority from inheritance, birth or kinship Official leaders; • Drive authority from the offices they hold Charismatic leaders; • Exercise authority over others by force of personality or charm
Leadership Types of leaders can be listed as; • The charismatic leader’s authority springs out of the personality of the individual. • The traditional leader derives authority from factors such as birth, or custom and practice. This type of leaders are common within family businesses. • The appointed leader exercises rational-legal authority which derives from the position held. This type of leadership permits the ‘made’ rather than the ‘born’.
Types of Leaders (Cont…) Situational: Influence can only be effective by being in the right place at the right time. This type of leadership is too temporary in nature to be much value in business.
