Transformational leadership causes change in individuals and social systems by creating positive change in followers and developing them into leaders. It enhances follower motivation, morale and performance by connecting their identity to the organizational mission and collective identity, serving as a role model, and challenging followers. Individualized consideration means attending to each follower's needs, acting as a mentor, and understanding their strengths and weaknesses to optimize their performance. Intellectual stimulation challenges assumptions and encourages creativity, while inspirational motivation articulates an appealing and inspiring vision to motivate followers through communicating optimism and meaning.
