Transformational leadership is defined as a process where leaders engage with followers to enhance motivation and morality, contrasting with transactional leadership, which focuses on exchanges and self-interest. It emphasizes inspiring others through example and emotional connection while fostering a positive work environment. Pseudotransformational leadership, however, involves leaders who exploit their followers for personal gain, as exemplified by historical figures like Hitler and Hussein.
