The transformational leader can motivate employees by encou-ragement of novel, innovative thinking. Drenkard (2013) describes true transformational leader-ship as occurring when the leader "created an environment that brought leaders and followers together to solve problems, create new ways of doing work, and manage change together" (p. 57).
