This article focuses on how transformational leaders influence organizations. Transformational leaders provide change and movement in their organizations. Such leaders seek to alter the existing structure and influence people to buy into a new vision and new possibilities. Excellent transformational leaders use authority and power to inspire and motivate people to trust and follow their example. However, there are also potential dangers resulting from the powerful influence of transformational leaders. Leaders and organizations must maintain accountability to insure that leaders stay within certain boundaries. Overall, transformational leaders provide new direction, new inspiration, and new behaviors for their organizations.
