In this paper we take the perspective of relational leadership. In this view, leadership is defined as an influence relationship, in which the leader and the collaborator mutually (although not symmetrically) influence each other in a dynamic way,forming partnerships with greater or lesser added value. Looking at these partnerships,we can distinguish three types of leadership: transactional, transformational and transcendental. Although partnerships are defined by the motivation of the collaborators in the relationship, they are the result of the values and behaviors of the leader. For this reason, it is critical that the leader understands and practices behavior patterns and values that encourage the
creation and reinforcement of high valueadded partnerships. The type of partnership that the relational leader is able to create will determine the quality of the collaborators'following behaviors, as well as the strength and the depth of the loyalty they show to the partnership.
