RT Article T1 Transformational Leadership: The Nexus Between Faith and Classroom Leadership JF Christian higher education VO 16 IS 5 SP 276 OP 284 A1 White, Bobbie Ann Adair A1 Bledsoe, Christie A1 Hendricks, Randy A1 Pearson, Kerri LA English PB Taylor & Francis YR 2017 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1671901827 AB Transformational leadership is well documented in organizational and business literature. Classroom and faith-based applications are more recent phenomena. The authors of this mixed-methods study explored professor behaviors and characteristics perceived as transformational in students' faith and focused on transformational leadership in the classroom at a faith-based institution. Thirty-four undergraduate students completed surveys containing open-ended and forced-choice questions; the findings highlighted the importance of compassion, optimism, encouragement, and openness as behaviors that facilitated faith transformation.
