GOMES, António Rui  and  CRUZ, José. Charismatic and transformational approach: conceptual models and contributions to the understanding of leadership. Psicol. USP [online]. 2007, vol.18, n.3, pp. 143-161. ISSN 1678-5177.

This paper presents a review of the literature written about the charismatic and transformational leadership approaches, stressing the main concepts and conceptual models. We also observe the possibility of applying these contributions in order to understand leadership actions and the relationship between leaders and group members. Lastly, we describe some results obtained until now about the efficacy of charismatic and transformational leaders.
