Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Charismatic authority is based on the personal qualities and appeal of an individual, rather than on traditional or legal means of authority. While it can be very effective in the short term and inspire a great deal of enthusiasm and loyalty, it can also be fickle and dependent on the charisma of the individual leader. Once the leader's charisma diminishes or he/she leaves the position, the authority can quickly fall away. Therefore, charismatic authority is generally seen as more short-lived than traditional or legal-rational authority.
