About the Article
Transformational leadership has become a defining model for non-profit organizations navigating uncertainty, limited resources, and complex global challenges. This article examines its theoretical roots and applied dimensions, emphasizing leadership’s role in fostering innovation, ethical integrity, and stakeholder engagement. Drawing on scholarship and field practice, it outlines how transformational leaders mobilize communities, strengthen resilience, and build inclusive organizational cultures—particularly in developing countries and resource-constrained environments. Through examples from Africa and South Asia, the study illustrates how vision, empowerment, and adaptability can drive sustainable change. The article bridges academic theory with actionable frameworks, providing valuable insights for leadership development and organizational transformation across the non-profit sector.
