Abstract

Charisma without substance and competence is meaningless, even dangerous, according to Thomas S. Bateman. The leadership field focuses so heavily on personality and interpersonal skills that the need for genuine competence is easily overlooked, he argues. Bateman explains three critical imperatives for leaders that some would say are obvious but that leaders and followers ignore all the time. “If leaders are willing to take the challenge,” he says, “this process offers a clear, actionable, competence‐based path to higher performance.”
