In the beginning magicians, wise judges and war heroes with superhuman abilities and magic powers used to be considered as charismatic. As science holds today, charisma is partly an inborn faculty, an element belonging to personality, but not a personality type itself. It is comprised of various components (expressivity, dominance, emotional intelligence, puritanism). The positive inner content and scale of values of any charismatic person set a blueprint for his or her followers. This interaction is characterised by mutual and continuous dynamism: at its end points there are the relationships between personality factors and the environment which may be given differing emphases in different theories. Charisma cannot be inherited or learnt as such. Power and wealth are its secondary attributes, these are by no means primary motives. The authors intended this study to fill a gap in the given topic and take us closer to the essence of charisma.
