| Abstract: | By viewing leadership as a co-constructive process between a leader and his/her followers, this study assesses the effects of charismatic leadership on follower behaviors displayed during meetings in a real work setting. A specific focus lied on visioning-, humorous-, and self-defending behaviors. Consequently, the effects of these behaviors on perceived meeting effectiveness were analyzed. These behaviors appeared to have no effect on perceived meeting effectiveness. However, leaders that were perceived as being charismatic did show more visioning- and humorous behaviors, and less self-defending behaviors, than their lower scoring counterparts. These results have several practical implications, which are mentioned in this paper before presenting several future research directions |
