In this research project we first studied the history of leadership, and designed the models of experts in this field in order to examine the conceptual framework of the previous models, their strengths and weaknesses. an‎d use their key variables within the framework of our proposed model. In order to present a conceptual model that is a model appropriate to the national and religious environment of our country, we used the content analaysis method to design a conceptual model. Also, in order to refine and evaluate this proposed model, experts have been used. The achievement of this research is to provide a conceptual- functional model tailored to the structure of industrial organizations, which aims to facilitate the identification and utilization of transformational leaders for these organizations.
