The above ‘high moral development’ that Professor Bass wrote about is more relevant today than when he first recognized it as an element of transformational leadership over two decades ago. In this book, Transformational Personal Leadership, we focus attention on the process of leaders developing high moral standards and becoming forces for change, transformational figures for themselves, their followers, and their organizations to lead extraordinary change.

                                                By taking a broad view of what a leader can be, and should be, the book details a progression of self-study, and other-centered work to serve as a holistic guide for both followers aspiring to be leaders and. practicing leaders who aspire to be great transformational agents of change in a wide variety of contexts. Detailed discussions of the foundations and drivers of personal leadership, such as high moral inner value system, leadership character, vision, motivation, commitment, wholeness communications, etc., are presented. The subjects of planning, managing, leading, and executing change are presented as the over-arching applications of transformational personal leadership. This book is an inspiration for anybody that aspires to be a better version of self—personally, organizationally, and professionally—with a far-reaching impact on the followers, employees and organizations in which he or she serves. As a whole, Transformational Personal Leadership provides leaders, managers, employees, and followers with a framework to embrace a leadership process of becoming an extraordinary, transformational change agent.
