Transformational leadership is about enabling people to: shift their relationship to people, processes and circumstances; see new possibilities; discover choice; and bring into existence what is missing.

Transformational leaders validate and encourage differences, rather than try to smooth things out so they are the same. These leaders give people the tools of observation and action so they can put the past in the past, be responsible for the present, and create the future they want to create. Transformational leaders generate a reality outside the predictable by: living from “I have choice”; challenging their assumptions and beliefs about themselves and the way they are living; and realizing that the future they are choosing organizes the way they are in the present, the possibilities they see, the choices they make, and the actions they take.
