Abstract: Abstract We live in an increasingly complex, digitized, and globalized world. The two-dimensional, traditional concept of leaders transforming the organization or the followers is obsolete. Transformational leaders in modern organizations are required to be more cognizant of the power of asymmetric knowledge located in different parts of the organization, design thinking potential, and self-organizing capabilities with a need for urgency. This chapter explores how effective transformational leaders can respond to the challenges of the complexities in the world today through the lens of complex natural systems.
