James McGregor Burns suggested the idea of “transformational leadership” in a 1978 book entitled “Leadership.” Transformational leadership is the idea that leaders advance their team members to “higher levels of morality and motivation,” according to MindTools.com. Bernard M. Bass took Burns’ ideas a few steps further in 1985 in his book “Leadership and Performance Beyond Expectations.” A transformational leader, Bass says, is someone who walks the walk of integrity and fairness. This person is encouraging and praises people. People who follow transformational leaders are emotionally impacted and inspired to reach for what others have said is completely unlikely to happen. Alexia Vernon of YEC Women, a firm that mentors female business professionals, writing for Forbes, put it this way: Transformational leaders are people who, irrespective of audience, possess the ability to create significant shifts in their audiences’ thinking, which leads to essential shifts in their behavior, which enables them to achieve extraordinary results.
