Leon Ayo, President of the British Chamber of Business, quotes Peter Northouse when asked about the definition of transformational leadership.
“Transformational leadership is a process that changes and transforms people. It is concerned with emotions, values, ethics, standards, and long-term goals. It includes assessing followers’ motives, satisfying their needs, and treating them as human beings.
“It also involves an exceptional form of influence that moves followers to accomplish more than what is usually expected of them. It’s often a process that incorporates charismatic and visionary leadership,” he said.
According to Ayo, some of the best leaders are some of the most effective followers.
