Our attitudes about leadership have changed drastically in recent years, with the foundations having been built by Burns in 1978. One of the most important types of leadership is the transformational type. In this type of leadership, the leaders are not just rewarding their followers by strict adherence to office norms, but they can inspire and motivate them. For these leaders and their groups, the job is of secondary importance and goals like completing the project have precedence. They are usually innovative, encouraging and bring change to their environment.
