Question

According to evidence, what is the first step a charismatic leader takes to influence followers? engaging in emotion-inducing and often unconventional behavior communicating high performance expectations articulating an appealing vision setting an example for followers through actions and words developing a formal vision statement

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Articulate and appealing vision

Explanation:

Most of the time people that are in the throws of circumstances that are extremely uncomfortable are willing to listen to a promise.  While a charismatic leader is one that needs to be eloquent and set an example to the followers and have a direct plan of action they must first come with a dream.

As an example Barrack Obama was the first "African American" president of the United States of America. He did not specifically fit the description of many as "African American" due to his parentage. His mother was Causation and his father was African and had never had any descendants that were slaves.

This, however, did not stop him from appealing to the minorities with the  slogan "Yes, we can". This was eerily parallel to the spiritual hymn "We shall overcome someday". The dream of the U.S.A.'s first black president was a tangible reality.

This is not to say that he was not competent for the job but first appealing to a dream is the beginning of the win for the favor of the people.
