| Description: | Select Guide Rating Transformational leadership occurs when one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality. This book is a study of leadership and considers the seminal work in the field of leadership studies. It offers an introduction on 'transformational leadership'. The "seminal book on power" (New York Times) that "continues to dominate the field" (Harvard Business Review) "A landmark historian" (Jon Meacham), James MacGregor Burns, winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, devoted his legendary career to the study of leadership in all its aspects—from politics to business. Leadership, Burns''s pioneering study, introduces the highly influential theory of "transformational leadership," stating that the best leaders are those who inspire others to come together toward the achievement of higher aims. Featuring fascinating case studies drawn from history, Leadership is the classic text for anyone seeking to understand executive decision-making, the dynamics of influence, and moral leadership. |
