Abstract: Abstract Today the world is facing unprecedented changes in all spheres of life. The increase and fast growth of diseases such as Covid-19, Ebola, and climate change and its negative impact, increasing challenges to political systems by more informed citizens who feel excluded from key decisions, and the increased clamor for freedom of expression and involvement in the decisions affecting citizens and many other concerns all call for transformation of systems and new modus operandi in the management of countries, organizations, institutions and communities. This calls for a type of leadership that is inclusive. It is commonly believed that transformational leadership can bring about inclusivity in the management of organizations, countries and institutions in dynamic contexts where change is rapid. Today’s phenomenon of change can be described in the words of the late USA Prof. Igor Ansoff as “rapid and changeable”. This chapter discusses transformational leadership and its role in change management in dynamic contexts. Transformation requires the visible and sustained engagement of a wide range of followers within any context under consideration. Transformational leaders must build and sustain the culture of transformation and inclusion for success especially in dynamic contexts.
