technology, and the requirements
for business success.”

transformational leadership is far more
effective than transactional leadership in
generating the higher levels of extra effort,
commitment, performance, and satisfaction
of those led.”

genuine concern for the needs and

is a key element in bringing out their

follower’s leadership potential.
Intellectual Stimulation
