belief that the leader has a special call and mission which the pastors are responsible to transmit to the faithful.\u000AFourthly, charismatic authority elects a team and accompanies it (Weber 1968 Vol. 1: 243). Something which is very characteristic of these churches is the form in which the leaders are chosen. According to the Neo-Pentecostal pastors their collaborators are chosen by them on the basis of their gifts and the function which they assume in the designated ministries (A8ESH). These do not follow the traditional model of pastoral election, but rather make personal choices. This method has been criticized by several authors as it does not permit others to intervene in the elections of their closest collaborators (N\u00FA\u00F1ez, 2001: 28).

While visiting the churches the researcher observed this phenomenon in important ministries such as the co-pastor and the administration of educational projects and other ministries in the church.\u000A2. The managerial profile\u000AManagerial leadership is not necessarily different from charismatic leadership. However, due to the specificity of the Neo-Pentecostal context it will be mentioned as a part of the profile of these pastors. The researcher found that some of these pastors brought with them some training and experience in management. Others guided by the vision of their calling implemented a biblical and administrative training. For example, a pastor talking about his conversion said: \u2018What the Lord Jesus Christ did for me was to prepare me as a leader of a\u000A171\u000A
