“Failure is a word unknown to me”, said Mohammad Ali Jinnah, a man who altered history. Many books and articles are written on the charismatic personality of the Quaid-i-Azam by renowned historians, including Stanley Wolpert, Aysha Jalal, and Dr Sakindar Hayat. However, our young generation still needs to be enlightened about the man who is the founder of Pakistan-Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Personality is a mix of qualities and characteristics of a person, the way he undertakes things by using his body and mind. And a little touch of charisma further enriches personality traits. Dr Sikandar Hayat, a historian, who has based the definition on Max Weber, wrote: “Charismatic leadership was a function both of personality and circumstances”. Therefore, the personality combined with the circumstances and the situation in which that personality demonstrates itself, make him a charismatic leader.
