Excellence Series: Transformational Leadership

Course overview

The complexity of the healthcare environment results in multi-tiered levels of leadership and relative autonomy for leaders to use their preferred style of motivation. Research has shown that not all leadership styles are equal, and there is a strong correlation between employee satisfaction with leadership, agility with change, and performance metrics (Peng et al., 2020). Transformational leaders are those who merit trust and respect by their employees by both developing the careers of others, achieving performance benchmarks, and upholding the vision of the organization (Dumdum et al., 2002).
