“…Studies on political leadership have frequently contextualized political charisma within inspirational and transformational leadership theories (Bass 1999;Burns 1978). These theories have become an integral part of studies investigating a wide range of political contexts (e.g., Lambert 2007;Lengyel and Ilonszki 2012;Zhao 2022;Körösényi and Patkós 2017). The influential concept of "soft power" (Nye 2014(Nye , 2021 has drawn on these leadership theories, proposing that personal charisma is part of politicians' soft power and leadership style.…”

The perception of leaders as charismatic personalities has been linked to the level of (positive) emotion in their messages. The present paper reports a cross-modal perception study on the relationship between perceived charisma and positive as well as negative emotions. One hundred forty-nine participants listened or read Brexit speeches by four British politicians (David Cameron, Nicola Sturgeon, Nigel Farage, Theresa May) and rated their charisma using a 7-point Likert scale. Emotions in speeches were quantified on three dimensions (valence, arousal, dominance) and supplemented by analyses of person deixis (I vs. we). Results revealed that effects of emotions on perceived charisma are moderated by the modality of speeches. Emotionally positive words as well as inclusive person deixis increased charisma ratings in written messages, but the effect was reduced or not present in auditory versions of these messages. Implications arise for studies of political discourse that tend to focus on scripted speeches.

“…What emerges also within this wider canvas of informal learning pursued through personal interests is that despite rather than because of the system, committed and resilient leaders sustain their commitments across different professional life phases, even if there are hints of increasingly scripted agenda and 'performativity' (Lambert 2007;. However, as the system increases in complexity and demands for performativity intensify, a re-configuration of the personal and professional and attendant supports are necessary, while there is an important balance to be struck between professional autonomy to enable individual agency and professional responsibility to flourish.…”

“…The intent is to open to scrutiny the literary ploys used in the White Paper, demonstrating the relationship of such techniques to, as Fairclough (, p. 12) has it, ‘the constructive effects discourse has upon social identities, social relations and systems of knowledge and belief’’. The text is considered ‘highly performative’ (Lambert, , p. 152). Close analysis of the words used, sentence construction, rhythm, metaphor and the ‘narrative strategies of plot and character’ (Lambert, , p. 152) are evaluated.…”

Corrupt language, corrupt thought: the White Paper The importance of teaching

This article deconstructs the language of the 2010 UK Coalition Government's White Paper, The Importance of Teaching. It uses analytical frameworks related to rhetoric established by Aristotle and Cicero. It explores the mechanisms of language using both critical discourse analysis and content analysis, offering quantitative data on the content of the paper and qualitative data on the literary strategies employed. It is concerned not only with how what is communicated persuades but also the ethics of persuasion; what is suggested and to what end. The article suggests a mutually reinforcing relationship between poverty of language and poverty of thought. The Coalition Government asserts an heroic stance to act radically to free victimised teachers from the burdens of bureaucracy imposed by the previous government. However, rather than radical action to make change, the findings suggest that the White Paper presents an illusory carapace of change that conceals fundamental continuity. It reassures all of the commitment of government and audiences to change while sustaining education as fundamentally unchanged.
