Author

Subjects
Personality, Executives -- Recruiting, College presidents -- Recruiting, Leadership, Universities and colleges -- Organization formation, Charisma (Psychology), Industry hiring, Education
Abstract

The effect of charismatic leadership on organizational performance is contested. Yet despite the lack of consistent evidence of the value of charismatic leadership to organizations, presidential searches have increasingly favored charismatic candidates.

This suggests that among organizations with atypical identities, charismatic leadership can be interpreted as a meaningful signal of organizational performance. Keywords Presidential leadership * Charisma * Organizational performance * Organizational identity * Signals, This work explores the relationship between the charismatic leadership of college presidents and the performance of the organizations they lead. In the literature on business firms, the effects of charismatic [...]
