Numerous studies have been done to elaborate on the importance and necessity of transformational leadership in achieving the success of an organization. The diversity of subordinates and/or followers within the organization requires the qualities and characteristics of transformation leaders who can create an atmosphere where everybody is empowered to do each assigned task for the competitive advantage of the organization. Despite the fact that every organization experiences failure, a transformational leader remains proactive in motivating the subordinates to be engaged while sustaining efficiency to achieve the desired organizational performance. Due to various issues and challenges, most notably in the delivery of instruction, wherein the learners are expected to be immersed in diverse activities in order to promote awareness and later achieve the ultimate goal of transformative education, it has been a challenge for the entire education community in the context of the schools to achieve transformational or transformative education especially that the demand is on promoting Global Citizenship Education in the Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. This paper intends to provide an analysis of the current and emerging concepts of leadership and transformational leadership and the existence of transformative education in view of transformational leadership practices. Moreover, the paper provides discussions on the attributes and characteristics of transformational leaders, which are necessary for transformative education, wherein everyone in the school is empowered, engaged, and acts as stewards of ensuring the quality of education to the advantage of the learners, who are the primary clientele of the school.
