1. Course Description
Transformational leadership is about improving the motivation, morale and sense of purpose between the leadership and the employees in a mutually beneficial manner, using certain interventions, which lead to higher vision-goal congruency in the organization and optimize the productivity and achievement-oriented values of the organization. James MacGregor Burns (1978) and Bernard M. Bass (1985) have been the predominant proponents and developers of transformational leadership. Gary Yukl (1994) further elaborated several aspects of this concept. This concept seeks to further bring about vision congruency of the employees within the organization by developing a challenging, fruitful and achievable vision which would lead to the generation of a workable strategy and finally culminate with the achievement of the goal.

In order to realize the vision, the leader has to intellectually stimulate and inspirationally motivate the employees or followers and vice-versa in order to generate a genuine sense of purpose by raising the benchmark of the goal and thereby appealing to the values and intellect of the employees for achieving them.
