One apparent problem with the transformational leadership perspective is that it still implies a universal rather than contingency approach to leadership.

Transformational Leadership

A leadership style that involves inspiring followers to exceed their own self-interests for the good of the group or organization, often through a shared vision.

Universal Approach

A theory or method that assumes it can be applied effectively across different contexts and cultures without significant modification.

Contingency Approach

An organizational theory that suggests the effectiveness of leadership or decision-making strategies is dependent on the context or situation.
