James McGregor Burns discovered transformational theory long ago, this theory, helped to define a very commonly used and effective style of leadership. According to Burns, "leaders and followers help each other to advance to a higher level of morale and motivation”. He stated that the differences in leadership lies in the behaviors and characteristics of different individuals. Burns also claimed that transformational leadership, “redesigns perceptions and values, and changes expectations and aspirations of employees”. This style of leadership is claimed to be based more off of the leader and not off of a “give and take” relationship that can be found in transactional leadership. Transformational leaders are supposedly claimed to be the best style of leader simply because they are said to have the best interest of others in mind while they are leading the group towards a effective goal.
