Greetings
This is very true, practical and resourceful. Yes, for any organisation or country to prosper and experience genuine progress, we need to allow, embrace and promoteTransformation. Organizations have to search for, appreciate, develop and promote Transformation by investing in Transformation Leaders.
I personally want to become a resourceful and supportive Transformational Leader in my organisation and my country. Some of my subordinates say that , I am so but I will really wish to learn more about the traits and qualities of such a leader, so that I can improve myself and inculcate more of such features in me, not just as head knowledge but as my way and every day style of leadership.
Kindly help me become one such leaders.
