Transformational Leadership

Preface
Transformational leadership has rapidly become the approach of choice for much of the research and application of leadership theory. In many ways, transformational leadership has captured the imagination of scholars, of noted practitioners, and of students of leadership. Research on transformational leadership and related charismatic approaches has grown exponentially—so much so that a new edition of this book, originally published in 1998, was necessary.

This revised book is intended for both scholars and serious students of leadership. It is a comprehensive review of theorizing and empirical research on transformational leadership that can serve as a reference and starting point for additional research on the theory. In addition, we have tried to make the book reader friendly, with many current and historical examples. It could be used as a supplementary textbook in an intense course on leadership or as a primary textbook in a course or seminar focusing on transformational leadership—particularly if accompanied by Developing Potential Across a Full Range of Leadership: Cases on Transactional and Transformational Leadership (Avolio & Bass, 2002).


This new edition has been greatly expanded, with more than double the number of references in the previous edition. Many new, updated examples of leadership have been included to help illustrate concepts as well as show the broad range of transformational leadership in a variety of settings. New chapters have been added focusing specificallyon the measurement of effectiveness of transformational leadership. Greatly expanded is the discussion of both predictors and effects of transformational leadership. Importantly, there is much more emphasis on authentic versus inauthentic transformational leadership. Finally, suggestions are made for guiding the future of research and for applications of transformational leadership.
