What Makes a Leader ‘Charismatic’ or ‘Dictatorial’?

Imagine a leader who makes everyone feel special, that's charismatic. Now imagine someone who tells people what to do and doesn't listen, that's dictatorial. Leaders use different kinds of power, and it changes how people follow them.

Why It Matters

A charismatic leader might let people choose their own jobs, while a dictatorial leader would tell everyone exactly what they have to do. This is why some leaders make people happy, while others cause tension.
