    The document discusses two studies that tested whether charismatic leadership can be taught. [1] In Study 1, managers were randomly assigned to an experimental group that received charismatic leadership training or a control group. Those who received training scored higher on ratings of charisma. [2] Study 2 measured changes in charismatic leadership tactics in MBA students before and after training. The training involved principles of effective leadership, opportunities to practice, and feedback to create motivation to improve. The results showed that charisma can be developed through extensive feedback and practice over time.

    Can Charisma Be Taught?

    Tests of Two Interventions

    -JOHN ANTONAKIS, MARIKA FENLEY, SUE LIECHTI

    Definition - We thus define charisma as symbolic leader influence rooted in emotional and
    ideological foundations.

    Parts of Charisma

    1) Verbal -Metaphors, Stories and anecdotes, Moral Conviction, share sentiments of the
    collective, Confidence, Contrasts, Lists, Rhetorical questions.

    2) Non Verbal – Body gestures and facial expressions, animated voice.

    Hypothesis

    1) An intervention group having received charismatic leadership training will score


    significantly higher on ratings of attributed charisma than will a control group
    2) Controlling for learning effects, posttraining ratings of charisma markers will show a
    significant improvement as compared to pretraining ratings of charisma
    3) Charisma will predict leader prototypicality
    4) Charisma will predict leader emergence
    5) Charisma will predict outcomes associated with it, including affect for the leader, trust
    in the leader, and attributions of competence and influence

    Method

    In Study 1,

    between-subject repeated measures field experiment, we randomly assigned managers to an


    experimental or a control group. We controlled for preexisting differences in charisma and
    examined the impact of the training 3 months later. 34 middle managers. They were then
    rated by their co-workers. Also 360 degree feedback

    Study 2

    In Study 2, a within-subjects laboratory experiment, we specifically measured changes in the


    charismatic leadership tactics (CLTs) of MBA students to determine whether charisma
    predicted leader outcomes.

    This study complements the first one, wherein we could not ascertain whether changes in
    charisma were due to the CLTs or a competing explanation (e.g., the fact that those leaders
    who were in the experimental group felt more efficacious and confident, and consequently,
    appeared more leaderlike and charismatic).

    Students were asked to prepare 4 minutes speech. They had to imagine they are a manager
    who have to give some bad news to the staff. They were then trained for 6 weeks and then
    they were again asked to give speeches.

    Training for Charisma

    We provided participants with general principles of what constitutes effective and


    charismatic leadership, we allowed participants to learn by doing, and gave them ambitious
    goal of demonstrating charisma—which they had not yet mastered—to create a positive
    tension and hence motivation for them to improve. We also gave participants learning-
    oriented feedback regarding their charisma. Used movies also.

    Conclusion

    1) Charisma can be taught. leaders must be provided with extensive feedback. on their
    styles in a participant-centered approach; more important, leaders need focused and
    explicit development goals, and to be placed in a “maximum- performance situation,”
    with knowledge that they will be remeasured
    2) Without being made cognizant that they need to improve their leadership and that
    they will be reevaluated, leaders simply might not be motivated to “self-improve”.
    3) There is no quick fix to leadership training and can’t be obtained merely by classroom
    training. A significant amount of time was spent by participants in practicing the
    same. A training should have a healthy mix of group discussions etc.
    4) The participants appreciate the filming of their speeches and feedback for the same.
    5) More applicable for mature participants. (work ex, and old)
