Some people seem to be inexplicably drawn to others. We listen to what they say, believe them, want to go along with their plans and all for some unknown and unfathomable reason. Charisma seems to be the secret, unmeasurable quality that accounts for that popularity.
Presidents have been elected, not because of their ability but because of their charisma. One of my psychology professors once pointed out that anyone who wants to predict the outcome of a presidential election need only look at the way the candidate smiles. Invariably, the candidate with the "best" (whatever that means) smile, wins the election. Perhaps that, as much as anything else, defines charisma.

The "routinization of charisma" is an expression dating from German sociologist Max Weber's classic sociology of religion. A prophetic leader attracts followers to his anti-traditional message by his personal magnetism or force of personality, in short, his "charisma." To keep a movement going after the death of the original founder, however, that charisma must be "routinized," or redirected to the continuing leadership and meaning of the organization. The path of routinization is fraught with danger since it by definition results in a formalization of the meanings of the original movement, involving institutionalization, and the formation of a new "tradition" and the potential for schism and new "charismatic leaders" to emerge. As institutionalized religions spread the teachings of their founders, there is a danger that more energy will go into preserving the outer form of the traditions than into maintaining their original inner spirit. A recent example of the difficulty of routinization can be seen in the troubles experienced by the Robert H. Schuller televangelism empire as it has attempted to "routinize" the original charisma of the elder Schuller and transfer its continuing authority to his son. See for example "http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28953451/".
