Answer: Charismatic leaders are self confident and charming.

Transformational leaders use ideas to gain support.

Explanation:

Charismatic leaders are interesting people to whom people are naturally drawn. They use this skill to lead people, knowing that they give off a sense of self confidence that inspires the confidence of others. In contrast, transformational leaders find a shared value or idea and use that to gain the support of their followers.

The two styles are similar in the sense that they both gain the support of followers, and are effective methods of leadership.

The difference between the two styles is the driving force, while charismatic leadership is built around the leader, transformational leadership is around an idea, and it usually involves the input of the other members of the team, not just the leader.
