Types of Authority

The many faces of a leader.
For Max Weber there were 3 types of authority that he identifies in his body of work. The first traditional like monarchies, their leadership is passed on through traditions of a ruling family. Then rational-legal people like U.S. presidents obtain leadership based on enacted rules of law. The last is charismatic people like Cesar Chavez obtain power by the devotion of their followers.
