7 Principles of Transformational Leadership: Create a Mindset of Passion, Innovation, and Growth Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 155 ratings

Learn to flourish as a leader so that a mindset of growth, optimism, and positivity spreads to your employees and shows up in the customer experience.

In the world of work, the single greatest asset of successful individuals, teams, and organizations is their mindset—what happens in between their ears. It’s not the corporate strategy, the sales compensation plan, or the market segments they’re pursuing. It is what each leader, team member, and employee chooses to focus on, believe, and create for themselves and others.

7 Principles of Transformational Leadership presents the fundamental concepts whose implementation will result in dramatic revenue, performance, and relationship growth. Specifically, leaders will learn to:
  • Live their professional and personal lives with unbridled purpose and passion.
  • Execute strategic priorities more effectively and with accelerated results.
  • Retain the brightest and best talent.
  • Have employees, key stakeholders, and managers enthusiastically follow them.
  • Be exemplars of innovation, growth, and positive mindsets.
  • Cascade excellence throughout their organizations.


You may have employees with all the talent in the world, but you’ll never achieve remarkable results until you change your employees’ mindset.
7 Principles of Transformational Leadership will help you convert your human potential into accelerated business results.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Hugh Blane doesn’t claim to know everything about your business. He does claim however to know more than anyone about converting human potential into accelerated business results – that’s why his clients call him The Talent Alchemist.

His consulting firm, Claris Consulting, is retained by clients such as Microsoft, Sony Pictures, Nordstrom, Costco, Stanford University, Swedish Health Systems, Aramark, Spacelabs Medical, Sodexho, Pepperdine University and the University of Texas in Qatar to challenge assumptions, jettison complacency and catapult growth.

Hugh’s specialty is working with senior teams and high potential employees and was recognized when he was selected as the exclusive coach for the prestigious Helen M. Young Fellowship at Pepperdine University. He is an Adjunct Faculty member at the School of Law and Entrepreneurship at Pepperdine University and has taught business literacy courses to homeless men and women through the Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles. He has also served as on the Strategic Planning Committee of the Boys and Girls Club.

Hugh and his family emigrated from Scotland to Canada and then to Birmingham Alabama in 1969 to escape financial hardship and begin their lives anew. The culture shock experienced upon his arrival in Birmingham six years after Bull Connor ordered the use of fire hoses and attack dogs, along with the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church was profound. His commitment to organizational transformation came as a direct result of being witness to a chaotic time that changed the course of race relations in the United States.

Hugh once ran with the bulls in Pamplona and learned how not to get gored. He is happily married to Alyson and they love traveling, wine and good food. They reside in the small beach community of Normandy Park, Washington with a giant black Schnauzer they rescued named Brooks. They’re still debating whether they rescued Brooks or if Brooks rescued them.

Hugh Blane makes fundamental concepts related to leadershipcear and compelling. This book is full of encouraging stories and action steps you can apply today.

Hugh is a leadership expert who has clear thinking and clear writing -- exactly what you get in this book (or in his consulting)! I spoke with Hugh recently and these 7 Principles were boiled down from 13. This tells me a few things: (a) this guy KNOWS leadership and (b) he writes about what is critical to being an excellent leader (Mindset, Awareness) and (c) he is an expert because of his ability to condense and make things simple - not more complex.

As an MBA student looking to figure out what I want to do for my career and how to best use my MBA, this book was tremendouly helpful in helping me think through what my purpose is. And now that I have at least a rough draft of my prupose as a business leader, helping employees flourish leading to excellent customer experiences, I have much more narrow of a focus. I am so grateful for this book!

I appreciate that it is thoughtfully segmented in the 7 Principles. Lots of examples and down to earth explanations.
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018
Great book as a hardcopy with key insights, however, it is not practical as an audible. I found myself pausing the audible and going back to make lists and to take notes that the author was telling me to do; I definitely couldn't listen to it during my long commutes. Again, great book but I believe this would have been better if I had purchased it as a hardcopy.

Great book. Had the audio but wanted the actual book

3.0 out of 5 stars an interesting read, but with some noise
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2023
The principles: purpose, promises, projects, persuasion, praising, perseverance, and preparation all make tacit sense, though they are often laboured and at times forced (had we considered other letters from P this may have worked better), which means that they don’t always gel together.

Each principle feels like it has unnecessary additional sub points that are at times thought provoking (some of the reflective questions) but at other times distracting.

I’ve perhaps taken note from blog posts on the subject of transformational leadership and summaries of this book than I did directly from the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Cover page is bad at all. It gives you the feeling to want to pen you see.
