Abstract

The six key charismatic leadership characteristics (i.e., communication, compassion, confidence, creativity, determination, and vision) are shown methodologically, thematically, and theoretically to provide organizations and systems with desired outcomes and results. This short generic qualitative inquiry review will provide evidence that the six key charismatic leadership characteristics are currently systematically employed in multiple diverse occupational and research settings to improve followers' goals and responses. Aligning existing leadership strategies to complement the six main charismatic leadership characteristics over recommended occupational competencies finds that charismatic leadership is a parallel process of leadership and management for social workers and other occupational domains, particularly within public administration. As a result, the six key charismatic leadership characteristics will be exhibited to appropriately inform evidence-based practices and be a feasible leadership modality for social workers and other relevant occupational domains to achieve better client well-being and follower outcomes, respectively, since charismatic leadership complements occupational expectations and tasks, structures, and systems.
