There is no finishing line in the race for excellence.  Transformational leadership is the kind of leadership which is the process of engaging with others, to create a connection that increases motivation and morality.  A very important part that could allow for Transformational Leadership is the emotional engagement.  The simplest way to look at Transformational Leadership is the transferring of vision into reality.

Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others, it’s the only means. Being an example is the only way you can influence other people.  Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Transformational is an ongoing function.  Transformational Leadership is that which facilitate a redefinition of people’s mission and vision, a renewal of their commitment and the restructuring of their systems.  It’s a relationship of mutual simulation, and elevation, that converts followers into leaders, and many convert leaders into moral agents.  Hence, Transformational Leadership must be grounded in moral foundations.

There is no leadership without follow-ship.  Setting an example is the only means of influencing them.  Influence involves an exceptional form of influence that moves followers to accomplish more than what is usually expected.  The core elements in leadership is concerned with emotions, liaise, ethics, standards, and long-term goals.

There’s a wide range of leadership influence where followers and leaders are bound together in the transformational process.  You need to be able to work together and to facilitate the transformation.

Smart government need to be smart, understanding people’s needs and responding to these needs

We don’t want people to go to government anymore; we want the government to go to people

We don’t want to have times and hours when people can go to the government; we want the government to be with the people anytime they want (government on call; government unlimited)
