Publisher's Synopsis
Transformational leadership is described as an inspirational role that executives can apply to enhance the organization's intellectual capital and financial performance. The question arises whether transformational leadership itself is a source of effectiveness in the post-pandemic world. This basic question remains unexplored. Based upon this gap in empirical research and extant literature, the purpose of this book is to synthesize the extant literature on transformational leadership and knowledge management in the field of management and organizational behavior. We introduce a model of transformational leadership coupled with knowledge management to enhance the post-pandemic recovery. The design of this book is structured to present a framework that explains the theoretical linkage among organizational factors in the post-pandemic economy. Managerial applications that may support knowledge-driven performance in the post-pandemic are proposed. The application of the concepts in this book provides practical implications and possible causal relationships that may support the post-pandemic recovery. This book develops an ongoing conversation of transformational leadership, knowledge-management, and the post-pandemic recovery. This book is a must read for scholars, practitioners, business owners, executives, graduate students, undergraduate students, and aspiring leaders. Mostafa Sayyadi is an expert on both transformational leadership and knowledge management and Mike Provitera is an executive leadership trainer and professor of executive leadership. Mostafa's research team coupled with Mike's expertise in blending theoretical concepts with practical application makes this book worth reading. Our efforts in researching and writing this book have expanded the field of organizational behavior, transformational leadership, and knowledge management. This book offers a seven-page featured case study titled: "Tesla, A Knowledge Management Think Tank" which is a great discussion-learning exercise for executives, students, and people interested in a state-of-the art automobile case study.
