Hardback. Much of the writing on charisma focuses on specific traits associated with exceptional leaders, a practice that has broadened the concept of charisma to such an extent that it loses its distinctiveness - and therefore its utility.

Num Pages: 214 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: JHB; JPHL; JPW. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 226 x 159 x 17. Weight in Grams: 422.
