Transformational leadership stimulates and inspires followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes and develop their own leadership capacity. These leaders respond to individual needs, empower followers, and align objectives. They inspire and motivate followers, challenge them to be innovative, and show genuine care and concern. Key elements include idealized influence, inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, and intellectual stimulation. Transformational leaders develop a vision, sell the vision to followers, map a clear direction, and lead by example while encouraging followers. This style of leadership has been shown to increase performance, effort, satisfaction, and development of future leaders. However, it depends on the leader's abilities and characteristics.
