"Perhaps, but isn't there the risk that a charismatic leader could get team members to essentially do the work for him/her?" Funny, you mention that. There was a "charismatic guy" who passed trough my whole computer engineering program just by getting a dedicated and smart girlfriend who would help him in all the assignments and even give him copy during written tests. The guy could not program to save his life, and yet got his degree. At the end of the program he ditched her instantly and got a hot girlfriend instead, i kind of felt sorry for her girlfriend, but there is your life lesson.
