Abstract

Transformational leadership focuses on people, inspires and directs them towards shared visions and objectives and aims at taking individual responsibility (Bass, 1990). It is based on the principles of accessibility, visibility, direct communication, effective support (Koloroutis, 2015). Transformational leaders influence followers at all levels of the organization, changing their way of interpreting the world (Bass, 1985; 1998); they act on patient / caregiver satisfaction, on the active involvement of employees and on their well-being.
