Transformational Leadership
Abstract
It’s very important to understand to make leaders and explore leadership qualities in common
people. Leadership qualities cannot be imparted to a person. Rather it needs to have
transformation. We need to explore leadership qualities in the common man. In an organizational
context, we need to find out leaders from common employees and it does not come with
designation or authority. If any organization is not able to find out leadership qualities in
common employees, then it is very difficult to survive in long run. The sustainability of any
organization depends on its leadership qualities. If we look into history, all the leaders had a
humble beginning and once all leaders were very common without having a substantial amount
of credibility. They all emerged as a leader in their future course of time. Mahatma Gandhi,
Martin Luther King or any great leader in history falls in this category. There is no such defined
succession planning of leadership.
