We tested hypotheses regarding the relationship between proactive personality and perceptions of charismatic leadership. A sample of 156 managers completed measures of proactive personality along with measures of the five‐factor model of personality and other individual differences. The managers' immediate supervisors rated their charismatic leadership and in‐role behavior. Results suggest that self‐reported proactive personality is positively associated with supervisors' independent ratings of charismatic leadership. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that proactive personality accounts for variance in a manager's charismatic leadership above and beyond that accounted for by an array of control variables (the Big Five personality factors, in‐role behavior, and social desirability).
