Leadership is a concept applicable in all fields and beneficial to all. The benefits individuals receive from leaders heavily depend on the leadership styles that leaders use. Hackett stated that leadership is the most critical competency for any organization that aims to develop its people. School leadership is a salient part of students learning in all educational institutions, and as such, the type of leadership that is practiced in schools is crucial to the teaching, classroom procedures, and the school environment as these impact student performance. Bass states that transformational leadership is how leaders' behaviours impact their followers. Bass and Avolio stated that the transformational leadership style allows individuals to feel valued and gives them a sense of purpose, respect, and trust in their leaders.
