Leadership through the Eyes of Followers

After reading chapter 13, I came across an interesting topic. There is a recent perspective found where leadership experts experts focus on how leaders are now seen through the eyes of followers. There are three main approaches. These approaches are known as transformational leadership, Charismatic leadership, and Attribution and leadership theory. Transformational leadership refers to the set of abilities that allows the leader to recognize the need for change. It is a way to create a vision to guide that change. It then is important to execute the change effectively. Another approach is charismatic leadership. This is a type of influence based on the leader's charisma, or ones positive attributes. Lastly, the attribution theory is when applied to leadership, holds that when behaviors are observed in a context associated with leadership, other may also attribute varying levels of leadership ability or power to the person displaying those behaviors. I personally feel that charismatic leadership is the most important approach. Having strong interpersonal attraction helps your employees feel very comfortable and accepting. With strong charisma your employees will feel much closer and understanding. With this, I leave off asking, what approach do you find most effective?
