Burns (1978) developed the original idea of transformational leadership. He defined it as a process in which “leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of morality and motivation” (p. 20). This definition was further refined by Bass (1985) who looked at the theory as two distinct types of leadership processes, the first being transactional leadership and the second being transformational leadership. Though he defined these leadership processes as distinct, Bass did recognize that the same leader might use both types of leadership at different times in different situations. It was transformational leaders however, who would influence followers by arousing strong emotions and identification with the leader (Yukl, 1998).
