What leadership techniques produce the most effective organizations? Improving Organizational Effectiveness Through Transformational Leadership explains the theory and practice of this dynamic and innovative leadership style that challenges and motivates an entire organization--top to bottom. The transformational leader encourages followers by acting as a role model, motivating through inspiration, stimulating intellectually, and giving individualized consideration for needs and goals. The result is individual, group, and organizational achievement beyond expectations. Each chapter deals with how transformational leadership affects important issues in today's organizations, such as delegation, teamwork, decision making, total quality management, and corporate reorganization. With a cast of contributors from the forefront of leadership studies, this book is a must for both the scholar and the enlightened manager who strive for improvement for his or her organization.
