The transcendental leader, as well as being interested in the results and in aligning the motivations of his or her collaborators with those of the organization, also tries to develop the transcendent motivation of these people. The transcendental leader centers his or her managerial work on the needs of the collaborators but not in a manipulative way,
i.e., in order to win their trust in such a way that they are more disposed to want what the leader wants (Bass and Avolio, 1994). Instead,the transcendental leader is concerned with the people themselves and tries to contribute
to their personal development. Specifically he or she tries to develop the collaborator's trascendent motivation: the motivation to do things for others, the motivation to contribute. Trascendental leaders are not so concerned about the collaborator's buying-in their vision, as they are to reach-out to their collaborators' needs and development.
