color: #333333;\">The philosopher and sociologist Max Weber discerns the three types of authorities- Traditional, Legal-Rational, and Charismatic; each of which correspond to a form of leadership that operate in a contemporary society. The one thing which is common in all the three authorities is \u201clegitimacy.\u201d A legitimate authority is justified by both the ruler and the ruled. Let\u2019s discuss all the three authorities, given by Max Weber, in detail:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traditional_Authority\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\"><strong>Traditional Authority<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Traditional authority can be defined as the power legitimized by respect for long-established cultural patterns. It comes from unwritten rules that are maintained over time. Leaders in traditional authority are people who depend on an established order or tradition. This leader is a dominant personality and the existing order in the society entrusts him the mandate to rule. Traditional leadership is reflective of everyday conduct and routine. People respect traditional authority because \u201cIt has always been that way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">The right of the king to rule is never open to any kind of questions. People following a ruler doing so in the erstwhile has bestowed the society with continuity and order. It\u2019s not just the tradition but also the stability of social order that is accepted. In a political system established on the basis of traditional authority, ancient customs legitimize authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\"><strong>Examples-\u00a0<\/strong>Hereditary monarchies, Roman Catholic Church, Tibetan Buddhism, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Drawbacks of Traditional Authority<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26044 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Traditional-Authority.png\" alt=\"Drawbacks of Traditional Authority by vikash ranjan sir at Triumph IAS, UPSC Sociology Optional \" width=\"2198\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Traditional-Authority.png 2198w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Traditional-Authority-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Traditional-Authority-1024x262.png 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Traditional-Authority-150x38.png 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Traditional-Authority-768x197.png 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Traditional-Authority-1536x393.png 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Traditional-Authority-2048x525.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2198px) 100vw, 2198px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Traditional authority is based on some dominant power.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">According to Max Weber, all forms of authorities exhibit some kind of domination.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">A traditional leader might exploit or rely on prevailing practices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">A traditional authority may suffer from the lack of moral regularity in the creation of legal standards.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charismatic_Authority\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Charismatic Authority<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Charismatic authority can be defined as the power legitimized by exceptional, unusual, and extraordinary personal abilities which inspire devotion and obedience. Weber identified this extraordinary attribute as \u2018Charisma\u2019 whereas Robert Bierstadt called it leadership and not an authority at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Charismatic leaders are seen as people who are inspired by God or by lofty unsocial principles. The charisma of these leaders is enough and adequate to inspire their followers and make their authority seem legitimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">While emphasizing the importance of tradition, Weber never proclaimed that traditions are absolute. He only specified that the tradition is a rule and not an exception, but there are exceptions also. Weber used the phrase Charismatic authority to refer to such an expression. According to Max Weber, Charismatic authority believes in the personal and effectual devotion of the follower. It encompasses the power of speech and mind and the display of heroism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">It is important to note that in charismatic authority, the leader is believed to be magical by employing various tactics.

This form of authority is the one that is grounded and clearly defines laws with explicit procedures that define the obligations and rights. This is largely respected due to the competence and legitimacy that laws and procedures bestow upon the people in the authoritative position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Contemporary societies depend on this form of authority; as the complexities require the emergence of bureaucracy that embodies systematization and order. Authoritarians can exercise power only within the legally defined boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">According to Weber, \u201cLegal authority rests in the enactment and its pure type is best represented by bureaucracy\u201d. The basic idea is that laws can be changed and enacted by formally correct procedures. The governing body here is either appointed or elected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\"><strong>Examples-<\/strong>\u00a0Elected Governments, Police, Courts, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Drawbacks of Legal-Rational Authority<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26046 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Legal-Rational-Authority.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2606\" height=\"769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Legal-Rational-Authority.png 2606w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Legal-Rational-Authority-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Legal-Rational-Authority-1024x302.png 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Legal-Rational-Authority-150x44.png 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Legal-Rational-Authority-768x227.png 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Legal-Rational-Authority-1536x453.png 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Drawbacks-of-Legal-Rational-Authority-2048x604.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2606px) 100vw, 2606px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Legal-Rational authority manifests the power of bureaucracy over individuals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Bureaucracy may not be able to completely address the concerns or problems of everyone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Modern societies depend on legal-rational authority to figure out a common ground to achieve consensus, but consensus based on agreements lack flexibility which embodies the dominance of bureaucratic mentality for which the government services are often accused.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #333333;\">Max Weber created the most common typology of authority.
