• Ceo Transformational Leadership: The Role of Goal Importance Congruence in Top Management Teams (2008, background): “For example, transformational leaders’ use of image-based rhetoric may be associated with higher levels of dyadic goal importance congruence because the images capture followers’ attention and increase their comprehension of a leader’s message (Emrich et al., 2001).”
