Abstract

The paper explores charismatic leadership as a new dimension. A three stage model to understand the charismatic leader's influence process in organisations is proposed. Stage 1 is that of evaluation of status quo, Stage 2 that of formulation of organisational goals, and Stage 3 is the means of achieving these goals. In all stages, the essential and distinctive characteristics of this leadership is articulated. The conclusion is that the mystique of charisma need to be unveiled in order to understand how leadership operates in organisations.
