Towards understanding: Dynamics Behind Magical Thinking and Charismatic Leadership Re


ScienceDaily (July 15, 2011) — Research by Columbia Business School's Michael Morris, Chavkin-Chang Professor of Leadership; Maia Young, assistant professor of Human Resources and Organization Behavior, UCLA Anderson School of Management and Vicki Scherwin, Assistant Professor, Management and Human Resources Management, California State University, Long Beach, suggests that we attribute certain leaders to be charismatic through "magical thinking." The paper, recently published in the Journal of Management, reveals how this deep-seated process in human cognition is involved in the attribution of charisma.

The researchers wanted to explore why some managers become hailed as charismatic, visionary leaders, with consequences for employees' attitudes and actions toward them. A well-known example of this phenomenon is Steve Jobs; his mystique as a charismatic visionary has been earned in part by his spellbinding presentations of Apple products. Would audiences be as wowed by his informal, spontaneous pitches if they observed the ten hours of practice Jobs commits to every ten minute pitch? Would knowing his method make him seem less magical?

Rubbish.

In Jobs' case, everyone knows its because of the black turtlenecks.



Great read - thanks!

You're welcome...there is some fascinating psychology around leadership and corporations.

To think I almost missed this thread .... thanks for the read, it is indeed very interesting, and I see we already have wannabe followers (yes, I am feeling reckless this morning....)
