Transformational leadership within higher education : a case study of women managers at a South African university.

M.Tech. Business Administration. Business School. / The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which female managers utilise the transformational leadership style as a feature of their normal dealings as managers. Much of the available literature on leadership typologies refers to the need to identify leadership styles that are suited to managing in different and changing environments. In this regard, various leadership styles or orientations have been identified as useful for managing change. However very few studies have been pre-occupied with understanding the extent to which a particular type of leadership styles may be preferred over another particularly from a gender perspective.
