1. Course Description
Vision, charisma and transformation are the keywords for the New Leadership. The concept of transformational leadership arose from the study of rebel leadership and revolution in the early 1970s. However, it was a political historian and biographer, James MacGregor Burns, who in a seminal book in 1978, first described transforming leadership and constructed it transactional leadership.
Transforming or transformational leadership occurs when leaders and followers raise each other’s motivation and sense of higher purpose. Studies of transformational leadership address issues such as people’s higher order needs, morality and values.
