Using the assigned readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the transformational style of leadership.

Then, respond to the following:

  • What are the key attributes of the transformational style of leadership? Explain why you think these attributes are required of a transformational leader.
  • From either personal experience, or through observation, provide examples of transformation leadership.
  • Which of the other leaders who you have seen come close to being effective transformational leaders? How could they have changed to be transformational leaders? Justify your answer with appropriate examples.
