Abstract
The concept of charisma, while gaining greater usage in contemporary society, is under-researched and often misused. This thesis discusses the classical theoretical conception of charisma, beginning with Max Weber, and provides three empirical illustrations of charismatic leadership in the fields of religion, politics, and the media.
