work with being very dominating to their subordinates. They help in implementing the vision of
the company efficiently. The companies fail to retain their employees and customer base for a

leader helps in having a proper and detailed vision of the company. The charismatic leader will
understand the exact position of the company and its requirements and will implement the vision
of the company accordingly, which will help them in attaining the organizational goals (Markey
