Charismatic and Transformational Leadership Theories Research Paper

Question (1000 words)

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

― John Quincy Adams 6th U.S. President from 1825 to 1829

a) The above quotation takes the position that leaders need to inspire and “energise” followers. With this in mind, discuss and compare the key features of the Charismatic Leadership Theory and Transformational Leadership Theory (Chapter 13 of my textbook — https://online.vitalsource.com/#/books/97813172173… Let me know if you cannot access to it).

— what are the similarities and differences? strength and weaknesses?

b) Source for and review published academic empirical research on these two leadership theories. Based on your search, examine the effectiveness of these leadership theories.

Reference for my textbook:

  • Riggio, R. E. (2018). Introduction to industrial/organizational psychology. (7th ed.). New York: Taylor & Francis.

– It’s a must to include my textbook inside, as well as AT LEAST four OTHER journals, especially for question B.

Thank you!
