May be we often hear the word leader and the leadership. I have some questions about the leader and the leadership. We will begin with first question, what is the word leadership? And second, what must a leader have type of the charismatic leader? Before we discuss about second question we will answer first question. Good leadership will makes good organization. Actually I have found answer in the literate that the word leadership can refer to: First, Those entities that perform one or more acts of leading. Second, The ability to affect human behavior so as to accomplish a mission. Third, influencing a group of people to move towards its goal setting or goal achievement (Stogdill 1950:3). So with that we know that leadership is very important in strategy and influencing in the organization. Organization can be good or bad depend on leader policy. In Indonesia experience leadership crisis. Many people fought for a seat in leader but when have got it, they forget their responsible.
We will be back with second question what is type of the charismatic leadership is very important. So the charismatic leader (Weber, 1905) leads by infusing energy and eagerness into their team members. This type of leader has to be committed to the organization for the long run. If the success of the division or project is attributed to the leader and not the team, charismatic leaders may become a risk for the company by deciding to resign for advanced opportunities. It takes the company time and hard work to gain the employees' confidence back with other type of leadership after they have committed themselves to the magnetism of a charismatic leader.
Third, how makes good leadership especially in the organization? An individual who is appointed to a managerial position has the right to command and enforce obedience by virtue of the authority of his position. However, he must possess adequate personal attributes to match his authority, because authority is only potentially available to him. In the absence of sufficient personal competence, a manager may be confronted by an emergent leader who can challenge his role in the organization and reduce it to that of a figurehead. However, only authority of position has the backing of formal sanctions. It follows that whoever wields personal influence and power can legitimize this only by gaining a formal position in the hierarchy, with commensurate authority. (Henry P. Knowles; Borje O. Saxberg 1971) Leadership can be defined as one's ability to get others to willingly follow every organization needs leaders at every level (The Top 10 Leadership Qualities).
