Modern Transformational Leadership: Applications, Challenges, and Best Practices

Akande, Adebowale

Modern Transformational Leadership is a timely and interdisciplinary volume that explores how leaders across sectors and cultures are redefining influence, legitimacy, and resilience in an era marked by crisis, complexity, and moral urgency. Blending theory with practice, the book brings together scholars, practitioners, and change-makers to examine leadership not as a static role, but as a dynamic force for ethical transformation and institutional renewal.

Based on a science-practitioner framework, the book challenges foundational theories and proposes new models for ethical, inclusive, and adaptive leadership. Today, leadership must be intercultural, interdisciplinary, and ethically grounded. This volume affirms that transformational leadership is a relational and reflective practice shaped by power, purpose, and context, not merely a role.

Providing critical insights for scholars, researchers, managers, professionals, and educators, this book covers topics ranging from strategic decision-making and emotional intelligence to resistance, recognition, and symbolic inclusion.
