Synopsis

Transformation is a process of bringing radical change to the context that sets a new direction and takes the organization to an entirely different level of effectiveness with little to no resemblance to the past. There is always a need for positive change and for transforming people's lives regardless of what has been achieved so far by the organization or the society. There is always room for people to dream big, think big, make a difference, and make an impact to bring about transformative change. Transformation is required in virtually any field, whether it is business, technology, education, health care, banking, agriculture, politics, poverty reduction, entertainment, transportation, cities, or manufacturing. Transforming an organization or the lives of people within a society is purely a leadership-based mission that requires a creative and innovative mind-set. The aspects of the transformation process include purpose-driven vision, creativity, innovation, design thinking, agile transformation, cultural transformation, digital capabilities, human experience transformation, and business model transformation. Transformational leadership is about envisioning the future and making it brighter by way of bringing about transformative change. Transformational leaders must be courageous and empathetic. Several qualities that transformational leaders need to possess in order to embrace transformation include vision, creativity, inspiration, courage, collaboration, commitment, empathy, and emotional intelligence. These aspects, along with their appropriate components and subcomponents, are discussed in The Art and Science of Transformational Leadership.
