Did you know that Transformational Leadership is not an individual task? It's the task of a team, a community, or a committed group of people because it requires a conspiracy. Today, as we are working our way through the Genysys Organizational Transformation model that Ray has developed, we are going to be talking about Transformational Leadership. Transformational Leadership is difficult. It results in a deep form of change and in people thinking and behaving differently. Listen in today as Ray explains what the role of a Transformational Leader entails.
