Introduction

In today’s high-speed and complex business environment, leaders continuously face the challenge of meeting high expectations and adapting to change. Transformational leadership is the preferred management style that has been proven to transform entire teams to a higher level of practice.

Transformational leaders are both inspirational and motivational. They motivate employees to take ownership of their roles and perform beyond expectations. Instead of assigning tasks from the top, transformational leadership teaches people how to think rather than just do what they are told. These leaders also excel at conflict resolution and they lead by example.
