Pros: Charismatic leadership can be a very effective approach in nursing. It motivates teams and optimizes the skills of each team member. Some of the benefits of this type of leadership in nursing include the focused commitment to an organization’s mission, strong motivational factors that promote positive results, team members feeling valued for their input, and leaders supporting their goals. Other advantages of the charismatic leadership style are that there is no room for egos or self-serving behavior, and mistakes are approached as learning opportunities.
Cons: Like all types of leadership styles in nursing, there are some disadvantages associated with the charismatic leadership style. If they are not careful, charismatic nurse leaders can create the illusion that they are irreplaceable. Some charismatic nurse leaders get so caught up in their own hype that they feel invincible, which may lead to them pushing the limit of ethical behaviors. Additionally, some nurse leaders who use this leadership style may feel like their opinions are the only ones that matter and may not value input from others, especially subordinates
