Abstract In this chapter, I reassess quasi-messianistic leadership as defined by van Kersbergen (2010) and explore how this concept is useful for understanding contemporary political leadership. I define how quasi-messianistic leadership differs from allied concepts such as authentic or charismatic leadership. I also explore the consequences of quasi-messianistic leadership for political behavior, and political disaffection specifically.
