Abstract

Transformational leadership is becoming the popular concepts in the management science for the last
30 years, as well as in the field of education management. To avoid an application in the education
sector that is merely followed because of trending, it needs an understanding of the historical side of
the transformational leadership model. Through the literature study, this study presented three
things: (1) The history of the development of leadership theories; (2) The history of a
transformational leadership theory model, and (3) the development of transformational leadership
studies in the field of education. The development of leadership studies involving intrinsic and
extrinsic motivational theories, has spawned the idea of an intrinsic transformational leadership,
compared to extrinsic transactional leadership. Inspired by the writings of James McGregor Burns
(1978), Bernard M. Bass (1990) created the concept of transformational leadership model, to popular
and became an important study to be implemented in various sectors, including in the field of
education. The study of transformational leadership in the area of pedagogy has come to the
conclusion that transformational leadership is an ideal representation of the practice at school in the
21st century.
