Abstract
This article attempts to introduce the usage of the term "charisma" in former as well as current scientific discussion with a brief commentary on both of them. Main arguments of psychologic, behaviouristic and sociologic approaches are discussed shortly.
Furthermore it is suggested such an understanding of the term charisma which fits in with the structure of social relationships and perceives charisma as an essentially social phenomenon established between the charismatic leader and his/her followers in the process called charismatization. Considering this development of charisma as mutual process it enables us to put the responsibility for the origin, the rise or the fall of charismatic leadership on both participant sides.
