Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

According to sociologist Max Weber, charismatic authority is power legitimized on the basis of a leader's exceptional personal qualities or the demonstration of extraordinary insight and accomplishment that inspire loyalty and obedience from followers.

Charismatic leaders may be politicians, soldiers, and entertainers, among others. From Weber's perspective, a charismatic leader may be either a tyrant or a hero (Adolf Hitler to Martin Luther King, Jr.). Charismatic authority tends to be temporary and relatively unstable; it derives primarily from individual leaders (who may change their minds, leave, or die) and from an administrative structure usually limited to a small number of faithful followers. Charismatic authority often becomes routinized. The routinization of charisma occurs when charismatic authority is succeeded by a bureaucracy controlled by a rationally established authority or by a combination of traditional and bureaucratic authority.
