change agents as transformational leaders. We
suggest that OD researchers reexamine the
literature on transformational leadership and
reframe that literature around the assumptions
of self-transcendence. Afterwards, researchers
can look at the questions and propositions that
emerge to raise a set of related questions for
OD. Although such research will depart from
the norm, we contend that a change in the fundamental
assumptions of human behavior
toward transformation will provide theoretically
rich and meaningful approaches to change,
leadership, and OD.
