Transformational Leadership
Angelo Kinicki, Professor, Author, Consultant, Arizona State University , Phoenix, AZ

Great companies and great leaders are often synonymous, but what does it take to be a great leader?  As a consultant, Kinicki often works with top management teams. Here, Kinicki discusses the principles of transformational and managerial leadership in increasing the efficiency of executives and the companies they lead.

It's a type of leadership that you really connect with people's hearts and minds such that people are willing to, if you would to use the word transform, they're willing to pursue the organization's goals over their own self interests. That's what transformational leadership is.
