**Leadership** by James MacGregor Burns explores the nature and practice of leadership, arguing that it is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that involves both the leader and the followers. Burns introduces his influential theory of transformational leadership, which he contrasts with transactional leadership.
Transactional leaders focus on exchanging rewards for compliance, while transformational leaders inspire followers to transcend their own self-interests and work towards a common goal.
