1) There are special circumstances,when the leaders have a bold new vision and they send it to their subordinates, winning their dedication and involvement. Such a leadership is called transformational leadership, because the leader changes,in a decisive manner,the beliefs and attitudes of subordinates, to matchthem to the new vision.
Transformational leader is "responsible" for a double transformation: first, transformation of subordinates, and second, transformation of the whole organization.
In an organization, change can be seen both as a chance to change a particular state which is not satisfactory, and as a threatening situation of current positions and privileges. Whatever the case, its implementation is proving to be extremely difficult, as a result of combined action of a series of cases that may have a negative impact on organizational change process.
Of course, all leaders, regardless of type,are dealing with th change. But change also has many facets. Transformational leader is "responsible" for the profound and positive change of people and organizations he leads, he is "responsible" to their change with the agreement and unconditional support of subordinates, who believe and follow the leader's vision.
As I've said, change is the responsibility of the leader, but organizational transformation is the responsibility of the transformational leader. He is not making only changes that would streamline the activity of the organization, changes pursued by any leader, but profound transformations of people and organization.
