Transformational leadership is the ability to get followers, colleagues, clients, stakeholders, and even superiors, to see the world differently and to reach beyond themselves individually and collectively in order achieve performance beyond expectations. Transformational leadership goes beyond traditional forms of transactional leadership that rely primarily on extrinsic motivators in order to develop and leverage the intrinsic motivation and engagement of followers and stakeholders.
