Charismatic Authority
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Charismatic authority is legitimized by a leader's exceptional personal qualities, drawing followers through the leader rather than any office.
Show
A movement's followers make extraordinary sacrifices because they are drawn to one leader's presence, not to an inherited or legal position.
Watch for
Charismatic authority is a source of legitimacy, not a verdict on the leader's aims; it powers both liberators and tyrants alike.
