Abstract
Transformative leadership is a holistic and bold approach for the next generation of higher education. In this chapter, we provide an introductory, definitive discussion of the phenomenon and integrate it with the concept of sustainable innovation. In Section 1, we introduce a high-level integrated approach to transformative leadership in higher education institutions. We define and discuss diverse pillars. In Section 2, we propose a contextual framework for transformative leadership as a value space. In an effort to provide guidelines and principles for the crafting of a transformative leadership strategy, we propose indicative actions and initiatives for the deployment of transformative leadership in higher education. Finally, in Section 4, we summarized some simple designs for tools and instruments to support the documentation of the transformative leadership strategy, including the transformative leadership scorecard and the systematic overview of the portfolio of transformative educational programs. We also comment on the significance of social impact and research, innovation, and sustainability aspects of the strategy. The contribution of this chapter is multi-fold. It can be used as a reference document for administrators interested in the design and execution of transformative leadership in universities and colleges. It also provided guiding principles for researchers interested in further contributions in the domain.
