In the introduction, the questioning, motivation, and the structure of the chapters are presented. The article has a theoretical framework that addresses the aspects of the theory of leadership, including issues such as top-level leadership, situational, contingencies, group processes, and organizational systems. It also discusses personality traits of leadership and leadership styles: charismatic leadership, transactional leadership, and transformational leadership. Concepts and approaches to decision making and decision-making types, such as model making, and the rational, bureaucratic, organized anarchy, and neo-rational models are presented. In this study, Samora Machel is seen as a charismatic leader, which is sustained by the massive presence of people in his rallies. He can also be considered as a dialoguing leader. The following are important decisions made by Samora Machel, which are considered in this study: the nationalization of buildings, the communal villages, the Prospective Indicative Plan (PPI) and the closure of the border with Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.
