A charismatic leader, commanding the dedicated allegiance of the great majority of his people, can make decisions as the spirit moves him, which is surely a pleasant situation in which to be. If his impact is to endure beyond his charismatic appeal or rule, he must establish institutions that translate his vision into policies sustained by appropriate structures, rules, and procedures. But institutions, by their very nature, act as systems of constraint upon the ruler's ability to do as he likes. What is he then to do? Jean Robinson examines here how Mao in China, Qadhafi in Libya, and Castro in Cuba have handled the task of institutionalizing charisma
