Abstract	:	While confirming Heuser and Klaus’s twenty-year-old warning about the shadow side of charismatic leadership in pentecostal organizations, the article points out the leader-centric bias in this and similar works and seeks to advance the discussion by addressing charismatic leadership from a structure/agency perspective. Drawing on Margaret Archer’s critical realist framework, the authors go beyond the focus on the sole charismatic leader to suggest that all partners in the leadership relation bear responsibility for avoiding destructive charismatic cultures and promoting ethical agency. The study proposes that it is possible to have forms of charismatic leadership that reflect pentecostal characteristics without being destructive if organizations promote reflexivity, ethical policies and moral accountability, and active followership.
