Abstract
The purpose of this capstone project is to discuss the theory of transformational leadership and the role it plays in empowering subordinate leadership through decentralized command. This paper will examine how transformational leadership influences decentralized command and henceforth empowers subordinates to lead and grow. Through the use of transformational leadership, leaders enable subordinates to take charge and own obstacles presented before them and lead. Ultimately, this type of leadership will become infectious and subordinates will want to lead each other and perform their best.
