The transformational leadership theory is something where the leader is known for
working with the specific organization in order to identify needed change, creates a vision in
order to guide the change throughout the organization. The transformational leadership style is
known for serving the employees with huge amount of motivation, increases the morale and
allows better job performance to the employees. However according to the author Bergerum,
Josefsson & Wolmesj (2019) the main concept of transformational leadership was first brought
in or started by the author James V. Downtown in the year of 1973, which was further expanded
by the author James Bur in the year of 1978. Therefore this concept of leadership style is known
for particularly being more effective in terms of increasing the company production of bringing
in effectiveness among the employees working in the company. This model of transformational
leadership is known for thus encouraging the leaders to demonstrate authenticity, build strong
leadership skills and develop creativity as an idea which help the employees to follow the same
suit.
The transformational leaders in the organization increases the job performance of the
employee so as by connecting the employee morale and identifies the importance of the goals in
the company. Transformational leaders act as a role model for the followers to take great
ownership of work and understanding the strength in the organization. The leaders are also
helpful in a way by enhancing the performance of the employees and align the self
responsibilities with the goals of the company or particular business organization (Batalden
2018).

According to the author LoBiondo-Woo, Haber & Titler (2018) the transformational
leaders can be defined as those who try to encourage, inspire, and as well as motivate the
employees in order to innovate and create a beautiful change which will in a sense help in
bringing growth and change in the particular business company. It is thus accomplished by
setting an example in the extremely strong executive level through the sense of cooperation and
independence in the organization.
The best thing about the transformational leaders are that these types of leaders are known for
initiating the change within the organization so as by inspiring and motivating the employees or
the followers they are leading, without micro changing the whole process. According to the
author the transformational leaders are known for building good trust and bonding with the
active employees who love to take authority over various types of decision in the assigned jobs.
Therefore it is also that it is that management style where the employees are given more room in
order to think something big and better than the other process. The employees with the help of
transformational leadership style will be able to look into the near future and find new and
creative solution to the old problems occurring in the management.
