Abstract

Reports an investigation of transformational leadership among UK managers. Podsakoff et al.'s (1990) measure of transformational leadership was administered to 25 managers within one organization, and the results correlated with superior and subordinate ratings of the managers' effectiveness. Findings indicate that effective managers employ a transformational leadership approach akin to Kouzes and Posner's model. Discusses limitations of the present research and areas for further research.
