Hi Swarn,

Good to read from you, I totally agree with your responses that leadership is a combination of Transformational servant leadership and Strategic leadership, they exist together. Likewise, in our country, the idea about leadership is misunderstood in the most institution. While just few practice transformational leadership, more practice strategic leadership without transforming or inspiring those around them. Leadership is seen as an entitlement and position, an opportunity to showcase their personal capabilities and power in our country. It is my wish that more leaders will come to the light of TSL and strategic leadership combined in order to bring effective results in all spheres of leadership. Likewise, those of us who have had the opportunity to be in the TWU leadership program should also model the way in our country effectively and produce results.

Transformational leadership is about inspiring and engaging others to create a transformation. Huges et, al, 2014 also submit that the heart of leadership of leadership is engaging others to create shared direction, alignment, and commitment. No leader will be a successful Transformational leader all by himself or herself, both TSL and strategic leadership are required likewise the people.
