A STUDY ABOUT THE ROLE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP IN EDUCATION

Abstract

Contemporary leadership theories—transactional, charismatic, transformational, and interactive have drawn more scholarly attention in recent years due to the substantial shifts in school management practices, instructional organisation, and changing leadership styles as essential elements of educational administration. Each of these theoretical frameworks offers substantial value and impact, both temporally and contextually.This paper, however, will concentrate mainly on transformational leadership because it appears to be the most suitable model for leading students in schools. This idea is founded on the following three points: (1) the moral dimension and ethical underpinning of transformational leadership; (2) the validity of earlier experimental studies demonstrating its efficacy; and (3) documented proof of its successful application by educational leaders in real-world settings.
