Charisma is more than glitz and celebrity. It is the result of a
comprehensive zeitgeist that galvanizes power and influence-and it
has been a part of our history since time immortal.
Written by Dr. Gary M. Gray, theologian, presidential historian,
and organizational consultant, Charisma reveals how environment and
circumstance give birth to charisma. Gray seeks to identify the key
elements in the dynamic of charismatic leadership based on "truth"
and backed by believing disciples as they march to advance a great
cause against a real or perceived enemy. Examples of this are
historically found in religious, political, social, educational,
medical, and military settings.
Gray focuses on the rare combination of dynamics necessary for a
person believing in a great "truth" to mobilize that truth into a
significant movement that confronts an "evil." Culling the archives
of history from Jesus Christ to Adolph Hitler, Gray shows how the
potential charismatic must speak of great truths, recruit devoted
followers, and battle enemies to right the evils of society, or
descend into oblivion. Long-term, the movement must find a
successor to the cause and institutionalize. Ultimately, Gray
reveals that charisma is the single most important dynamic in
significant world change, both now and throughout history.
Well-researched and meticulously organized, Charisma is a
unique and in-depth look at one of the most important, yet often
overlooked, dynamics of history.
