"Charismatic leadership is a leadership style that is recognizable but may be perceived with less tangibility than other leadership styles," writes Mar Bell in "Charismatic Leadership Case Study with Ronald Reagan as Exemplar." Online.stu.edu (2018) compared charismatic leadership to other styles of leadership. Accordingly, charismatic leadership is similar to other styles. When compared to democratic leadership, similarities to the charismatic style include that they both place considerable responsibility on the leader; leaders guide employees, team members or volunteers in a particular direction; and there is often a spirit of collaboration.The differences between charismatic leadership and democratic leadership include: In democratic leadership, workers must have high-level skills in addition to the desire to work; democratic leaders are highly rational and deliberate in their style; charismatic leaders appeal to the emotions of the audience; and in the charismatic leadership style, working toward a greater good is emphasized.Likewise, charismatic and autocratic leadership styles share some traits. This is another example of a crossover between charismatic and autocratic leadership styles.
