In an era characterized by rapid change, increased complexity, and heightened demands on leaders, choosing the right developmental approaches and activities is crucial for effective leadership. Transformational Leadership (TL) has long been celebrated for its focus on inspiring and motivating followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes and fostering personal and professional growth. It has effectively set the stage for inspiring leadership practices, emphasizing vision, inspiration, and personal attention.
However, in today’s rapidly evolving and complex world, traditional transformational leadership, while valuable, has certain limitations that necessitate advancement. To address these limitations and challenges, we developed the Advanced Transformational Leadership (ATL)TM Modeland the 7 Habits for Transformational Leadership (7-HTL)TM Framework as a progressive approach to leadership development that combines theory (ATL) with practical application (7-HTL).
The aim of this work is to provide guidance based on a synthesis of empirical research so that efforts to effectively develop, support, and leverage Advanced Transformational LeadershipTM in the workplace can achieve their full potential.
Individuals looking to this Guidebook for a “cookie cutter”, “one-size-fits-all” formula for Transformational Leadership may be left wanting. In step with principles for giving personalized support, we took the approach that people developers, people leaders, and organizations are best served by having a clear understanding of the core behavioral competencies for Advanced Transformational LeadershipTM, and be empowered with the information and tools to integrate these into their own systems and practices, and on their own terms.
Toward that end, we provide the information, tools, and guidance that we believe will equip users with an actionable framework that can be tailored to the needs, goals, and aspirations of organizations and individuals, and the practitioners helping them to grow and thrive.
