Charismatic Leadership Development: Role of Parental Attachment Style and Parental Psychological Control

Annette Towler, PhD

Illinois Institute of Technology

Despite the importance of charismatic leadership on individual and organizational outcomes, there has been little research examining the development of charismatic leaders. This study investigated the relationship between parental attachment style, parental psychological control and emergent adults' displays of charismatic leadership. Participants were 81 undergraduate students whose ages ranged from 18-25. They took part in the wilderness survival exercise, a simulation that is effective in measuring leadership effectiveness. Participants completed self-report measures on their parents' attachment style and levels of control. Both parental attachment style and fathers' psychological control were related to emergent adults' displays of charismatic leadership. Keywords are Charismatic, Leadership, Development, Parents, and Attachment.
