This important timely and thought-provoking reader is a collection of original chapters by
authors from five different countries each of whom explores a facet of transformative
leadership. Transformative leadership is fundamentally a critical approach to leadership that
goes well beyond the tenets of most current leadership theories to focus on social
transformation as the basis for both individual and collective achievement. The text clarifies
and elaborates the concept linking it to other theories including ways of thinking about
curriculum and pedagogy to prepare leaders for a more transformative role. Transformative
Leadership: A Reader provides examples of studies conducted using the lens of transformative
leadership as well as of research re-analyzed through its perspective.
