Answer:

Charismatic leaders tend to hold power for short durations, and according to Weber, they are just as likely to be tyrannical as they are heroic. Diverse male leaders such as Hitler, Napoleon, Jesus Christ, César Chávez, Malcolm X, and Winston Churchill are all considered charismatic leaders. Because so few women have held dynamic positions of leadership throughout history, the list of charismatic female leaders is comparatively short. Many historians consider figures such as Joan of Arc, Margaret Thatcher, and Mother Teresa to be charismatic leaders.

The concept of charisma is not always well-understood or interpreted. Most people think of charisma as a quality that is positive, and assume that people who are charismatic must always use this quality to pursue positive proyects. However, charisma also refers to the ability to appeal to a large number of people. Charismatic people are generally well-liked and respected. Because of this, they are often able to persuade people of following a particular idea. This is a quality that many leaders had, including leaders as divergent as Hitler or Jesus Christ.
