The Charismatic Situation: External Factors
Situations of crisis provide more latitude for leader initiative such the person can demonstrate leadership abilities.
Charismatic leaders emerge in situations where a change and a new ideological vision need to be articulated and when followers are ready to be saved. With an emotionally charged situation, leaders enter the field promising a new beginning, radical solutions..
They use dramatic symbols to illustrate their goals and point to clear and specific roles that their followers can play in resolving the crisis.
As a result, followers are convinced that the charismatic leader is the only one who can help, and the leader helps followers becoming aware of how they can contribute individually

Several internal organizational conditions facilitate charismatic leadership:
Organizational life cycle: Charismatic leaders are more likely to emerge and be effective in the early and late stages of an organization’s life cycle, when either no set direction is established or change and revival are needed
Type of task and reward structure: complex, challenging, and ambiguous tasks that require initiative and creativity and where external rewards cannot be clearly tied to performance can be ideal situations for charismatic leaders
Organizational structure and culture: flexible and organic structures and nonbureaucratic organizational cultures are likely to encourage charismatic leadership

Transactional leadership
- Transactional leadership is based on the concept of exchange between leaders and followers. The leader provides followers with resources and rewards in exchange for innovation, productivity, and effective task accomplishment. Two style of transactional leadership are using contingent reward and Management by exception (MBE)
-Contingent reward: Through the use of contingent reward, leaders provide followers with promised rewards when followers fulfill their agreed-upon goals. When well managed, contingent rewards are highly satisfying and beneficial to the leader, the followers, and the organization

- Management by Exception
Management by exception (MBE) is a leadership style whereby the leader interacts little with followers, provides limited or no direction,and only intervenes when things go wrong.
In one type of MBE, labeled “active MBE” leaders monitor follower activities and correct mistakes as they happen. In another type, labeled “ laissez-faire”, leaders are passive and indifferent toward followers and their tasks.
In both cases, little positive reinforcement or encouragement is given; the leader relies almost exclusively on discipline and punishment.
Transformational leadership
- Leadership scholars suggest that today’s organizations need leadership that inspires followers and enable them to enact revolutionary change. Transformational leadership includes three factors:
1-charisma and inspiration: The charismatic leadership relationship creates the intense emotional bond between leaders and followers. The result is loyalty and trust in, as well as emulation of, the leader. Followers are inspired to implement the leader’s vision. The strong loyalty and respect that define a charismatic relationship pave the way for undertaking major change.

2-Intellectual stimulation: The second factor in transformational leadership is the leader’s ability to motivate followers to solve problems by challenging them intellectually and encouraging them to come up with creative solution. By encouraging them to look at problems in new ways requiring new solutions and by triggering controversial discussion and debate, the leader pushes followers to perform beyond what they previously considered possible.
3-Individual consideration:The last factor of transformational leadership, the development of a personal relationship with each follower, is closely related to the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX). The leader treats each follower differently but equitably, providing all with individual attention. As a result followers feel special, encouraged, motivated, developed, and perform better.
