Transformational leaders are often charismatic, but they are not as narcissistic as pure charismatic leaders, who succeed through a belief in themselves rather than in others. Transformational leadership sometimes falls into the sin of passion and overconfidence that it can easily confuse with truth and reality. While it is true that great things have been achieved through enthusiastic leadership, it is also true that many passionate people have led their fellow citizens to disaster.

Transformational leadership can only be appropriate under conditions of divergent opinions. In converging conditions, leaders must be in harmony with current objectives and practices, accommodate to varying degrees, rather than challenge or question the existing situation. Therefore, a transformational leader owes his or her survival to the creation or maintenance of cleavages.

Transformational leaders are always visible among their troops and seek, through their attitude and actions, to set an example of how everyone should behave. They set an example and are always at the heart of the action. In order to motivate their people, they use ceremonies, rituals, and other cultural symbolism.

Transformational leadership begins with the development of a vision that converts a few potential followers. This vision can be developed by the leader, by the existing team or it can emerge from a wide range of discussions. The transformational leader seizes every opportunity and therefore uses everything that works to convince others to get on board the moving train. This constitutes his routine activity by dosing his energy with the most convinced as well as the least convinced. The transformational leader creates trust, preserving personal integrity in order to convince more "disciples".

The leader transforms the individual or group towards the achievement of objectives. It makes it possible to match the behaviour of individuals with the beliefs, principles or values of the organization. Transformational leadership changes the basic values, beliefs and attitudes of followers to achieve higher goals and work beyond the minimum levels specified by organizational leaders.

An organization is transformed when a leader plays an important role in creating a vision and goal for the organization. Individuals (followers) then become part of this vision. The "transformational leader" is the one who takes responsibility for the revitalization of the organization. It changes the mind and heart. It defines the need for change. It broadens vision, insight and understanding. He creates new visions. It mobilizes the commitment of these visions.

Transformational leadership theory is different from transactional leadership. The latter focuses on the role and requirements of the task and uses contingent rewards on performance. Transformational leadership, on the other hand, emphasizes charisma1 and the development of mutual trust, by fostering the leadership capacities of other individuals, and by setting goals that go beyond the short-term needs of the working group.

Transformational leadership seeks to raise the level of motivation and morality in organizations by making greater use of long-term intrinsic needs and less of short-term extrinsic demand.

Transformational leadership theory is an approach to leadership advocated by Russell Ackoff, Bruno Avolio, Bernard Bass and James Burns, among others. The objective of transformational leadership is to "transform" people and organizations in the literal sense.

Transformational leadership is opposed to so-called transactional leadership, which operates more along the lines of a rewarding, giving effort model. Successes in this context are more ad hoc, conditional and often of a smaller scale.
