Changes

The routinization of charisma refers to the process whereby an organization is fractured following the demise or departure of a charismatic leader. While applied mostly to organizations such as corporations, this term is also applied to nation-states that have lost a leader, such as  [[France]] under [[Napoleon]] or to religions such as [[Christianity]]. The fracturing may take place over generations, but usually occurs in the immediate aftermath of the leader's departure/demise. Splinter groups often attempt to gain hegemony, only increasing or routinizing the speed of the fracturing.
