Intellectual Persuasion in Transformational Leadership Theory with Islamic Attitude

In order to achieve goals effectively and efficiently, scholars have set forth a set of principles of leadership and management, in accordance with their particular culture. In the meantime, Bernard Bass's transformational leadership theory has attracted the attention of many scholars. Since the Western management style has led to increased productivity and neglected human development, it is necessary to look at these theories with an Islamic perspective. Bernard Bass's theory has four dimensions, and in this article, the dimension of intellectual persuasion is examined. Features mentioned for this dimension include: encouraging innovation and new ways of doing things, consulting when looking for problem-solving solutions, forcing others to look at issues from different angles, and encouraging re-examination of key assumptions. This research seeks to assess the intellectual dimension of transformational leadership theory with Islamic attitudes. The research method is descriptive-analytical and library method has been used for data collection.
