Charisma
For Weber, the locus of power is in the led, who actively (if perhaps unconsciously) invest their leaders with social authority.

[Sociologist Max] Weber introduced the personality charisma sense when he applied charisma to designate a form of authority. To explain charismatic authority he developed his classic definition:
Charisma is a certain quality of an individual personality by virtue of which he is set apart from ordinary men and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities. These as such are not accessible to the ordinary person, but are regarded as of divine origin or as exemplary, and on the basis of them the individual concerned is treated as a leader.[32]
Here Weber extends the concept of charisma beyond supernatural to superhuman and even to exceptional powers and qualities. Sociologist Paul Joosse examined Weber’s famous definition, and found that:
through simple yet profoundly consequential phrases such as “are considered” and “is treated,” charisma becomes a relational, attributable, and at last a properly sociological concept…. For Weber, the locus of power is in the led, who actively (if perhaps unconsciously) invest their leaders with social authority.[2]
In other words, Weber indicates that it is followers who attribute the individual with powers, emphasizing that “the recognition on the part of those subject to authority” is decisive for the validity of charisma.[33]
