Transformative Leadership Education
Applications of Transformative Leadership
Educator Empowerment
​One of the teachers who participated in the first program in Bolivia commented on the following change in his approach to teaching:“Transformative Leadership has helped me to understand the essential nobility of the human being. To see my students as beings with essential nobility and latent potential has helped me to focus not only on academic content but also on developing their values and latent capabilities, identifying their potential and tending to it in order to achieve their integral formation as human beings.”​
Social Economic Development and Training of Community Organizations
The teachers in these programs not only were encouraged to practice Transformative Leadership in their own lives, they were required to share what they were learning with a community organization through a series of workshops. ​There have also been projects and many individual initiatives that also share aspects of Transformative Leadership with community organizations.
​
Transformative Leadership concerns itself with the discovery of the hidden dimensions of leadership that are found within individuals, organizations, and communities – the three integral protagonists of social change in our society.
When these protagonists of social, economic, and cultural transformation experience deep attitudinal and behavioral changes through innovative adult training and leadership education, their innate powers and capabilities surface and flourish
The practice of Transformative Leadership in community organizations catalyzes positive change and improves performance within these organizations, directly influencing social and economic development.
In brief, Transformative Leadership takes on its full meaning when a grassroots community reflects on its contents and uses them to rethink how it works, strengthens relationships among its members, and consults on actions to take for its development.
