There are many leadership models, which partially contradict one another and may fail. For example, charismatic leadership, a widely used model (Yukl, 2013), has been found to become routinized (Trice & Beyer, 1986) and fail on many occasions (Conger, 1990; O'Connor, Mumford, Clifton, Gessner, & Connelly, 1995). One likely reason of the failure is mismatch between the needs of the followers (or an organization or a society) and the design features of a particular leadership model. The mismatch is likely to arise when one fails to ask a fundamental question: what was the model designed to deliver? Is charisma required for its own sake, or are leaders performing the functions that are needed by the followers? Different leadership models prescribe different functions, some of which do not overlap (Burke et al., 2006; Lord, 1977; Yukl, 2013; Zaleznik, 1977). Thus, the question arises whether there are any essential functions of leadership which explain its universal presence (Brown, 1991) and necessity (Bennis, 2007)?
