EasyChair Preprint no. 13764

Abstract

Transformational leadership is a leadership style that has gained recognition for its significant impact on national development. This abstract explores the concept of transformational leadership and its implications for the progress and growth of a nation. The characteristics of transformational leaders, such as inspirational motivation, idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration, are discussed. The abstract highlights the influence of transformational leaders in driving change, innovation, and development within a nation.

The impact of transformational leadership on national development is examined across three key dimensions: economic, social, and political. In terms of economic development, transformational leaders foster innovation, encourage entrepreneurship, promote sustainable growth, and attract foreign investments. Socially, these leaders create a culture of inclusivity and diversity, empower communities and individuals, and improve education and healthcare systems. Politically, transformational leaders enhance transparency, accountability, and good governance, strengthening democratic institutions and promoting the rule of law.

Case studies of transformational leadership in national development are presented to illustrate the practical application and outcomes of this leadership style. The examples of Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore, Paul Kagame in Rwanda, and Gro Harlem Brundtland in Norway showcase their respective contributions to economic, social, and political progress within their nations.
