3 types of authority

1. Charismatic authority points to an individual who

possesses certain traits that make a leader
extraordinary. This type of leader is not only capable of
but actually possesses the superior power of charisma
to rally diverse and conflict-prone people behind him.
His power comes from the massive trust and almost
unbreakable faith people put in him.
2. Traditional authority indicates the presence of a
dominant personality. This leader is someone who
depends on established tradition or order. While this
leader is also a dominant personality, the prevailing
order in society gives him the mandate to rule. This type
of leadership, however, is reflective of everyday routine
and conduct.
3. legal-rational authority is one that is grounded in clearly
defined laws. The obedience of people is not based on
the capacity of any leader but on the legitimacy and
competence that procedures and laws bestow upon
persons in authority. Contemporary society depends on
this type of rationalization, as the complexities of its
problems require the emergence of a bureaucracy that
embodies order and systematization.
