Still, Boris does represent a political credo to which I subscribe. He'll need to do better at PMQs, though.
Amusingly, I wrote a thesis on this type of situation for an ILM7 Strategic Leadership diploma course almost exactly 10 years ago (it was about the organisation I was in at the time) - as the saying goes "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"...

Some small excerpts (137 words out of 13,308)
Quote:
Inspirational Motivation enables leaders to inspire colleagues to achieve more than they thought was possible, both in performance and the colleagues’ own personal development, whilst often providing challenge and meaning to the colleagues’ work. These leaders can articulate and provide vision of what is possible, and how colleagues can achieve this vision. Bass and Avolio (Bass & Avolio 1993) state that colleagues can be inspired by a leader without the need for identification with the leader...

...Charismatic transformational leaders can create unrealistic expectations that could potentially cause damage when they cannot live up to the expectations they have created. Some colleagues, and in some cases organisations, become overly dependent on charismatic leaders. This is relevant where colleagues develop a disinclination to disagree with the leader, which can lead to the disenfranchisement of the next layers of management.
I got a merit for this...
