About the Book

Lead teams and organizations to unparalleled excellence through transformational leadership.

As we face a global leadership crisis, the decade of real-world experience and research from best-selling author and renowned thought leader Matt Mayberry in The Transformational Leader has never been more timely. Mayberry shares his experience working with hundreds of corporate leadership teams, transforming underperforming teams into top performers, and coaching executives to become the leaders their organizations need through transformational leadership’s four core attributes: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. This book is more than just a guide to a proven approach to achieving leadership success; it’s a call to action that challenges you to step outside your comfort zone and create a culture where everyone feels valued, heard, and inspired. In this book, readers will learn about:

  • Confronting the reality of the leadership crisis, and realizing that the actions that got us here won’t get us to where we want to go
  • How our dependence on technology has left leaders unprepared for disruption after disruption, including the arrival of AI
  • Leadership principles grounded in robust research, empirical data, and proven success, such as agility, coaching, and influence
  • The importance of inspirational leadership and how to become an inspirational leader yourself
  • How to start influencing and impacting others regardless of rank, title, or position

The Transformational Leader earns a well deserved spot on the bookshelves of executives, managers, and anyone seeking to make a bigger impact and influence others, adapt to changes in modern leadership and promote positive change in themselves and throughout their organizations.
