Leading with charisma.
Traditionally, leaders have used characteristics related to authority, control, competition and logic. Such approaches are more autocratic, and task-oriented. With changes in society, employers are focusing less on tasks and more on job satisfaction. Leaders are focusing on co-operation versus competition. Human relations and recognition are being used as motivators. Charisma is an important characteristic for leaders who wish to motivate by interpersonal characteristics. Transformational leadership is an emerging paradigm for modern management and can be important to the modern nurse manager as well. This paper describes charisma and how it can be useful to the nurse manager.
