When a leadership change occurs, this type of leader unlike others generates less conflicts or mishaps, since it easily adapts to any field and makes others also adapt.

Regarding the climate that these leaders generate, it is very harmonious. Since, the attitudes that it possesses benefits and contributes to others to feel comfortable with their person or their mere presence.

Disadvantages of a charismatic leader
For Díaz, R. The disadvantages would be the following:
The mistakes that are made, without being on your own, are usually forgive for the attitudes that he reflects, but this is not entirely correct since if someone makes a mistake, this must be sanctioned.
The achievements that were made may be excessively praised and it can be said that it would generate a fortuitous feeling that is not positive or convenient in any field in which it develops, envy.
You may unintentionally because of their way of being, I get to overshadow others.
Due to the same at the previous point, sometimes the help they provide can generate a certain dependence that is not favorable.

Also, in the professional field, it will motivate their classmates to obtain the achievement proposed as a team and not only that, but will also enhance the skills with which the team counts. And so in the remaining areas, but the leader must be aware that even in this branch of leadership there are factors that can put it at a disadvantage such as the possible dependence that may cause in the people who follow it or also the one that others praise in a wayExaggerated their achievements, and maybe for others, it will be exasperant, creating conflicts and an unwanted climate that could lead to problems, with a feeling to shine, envy.
