Article - Advancing the democratization of work: A new intellectual history of transformational leadership theory Volume 20, Issue 3, Halaman 127–143

---

Amidst growing demands for more democratic forms of organizing, we argue that better un-
derstanding the origins of transformational leadership theory offers a way forward. Trans-
formational leadership theory, originally developed by American political scientist James MacGregor

Burns in the late 1970s, is the best-known and most influential leadership theory in management
studies. Transformational leaders are visionaries who engage with followers’ higher-level needs and
inspire them to deliver extraordinary outcomes for their organizations. Democracy was at the core
of Burns’ conception of transformational leadership: voters selected their leaders and voted them
out if they failed to deliver on their visions. However, this was overlooked by those who introduced

the theory to management studies. Using intellectual history, we contrast the conventional rep-
resentation of transformational leadership theory in business with Burns’ original conception. We

explore how and why the democratic foundation of the theory was lost, why this matters, and what
can be done to recover it.
