A population of one hundred and sixty-three (163) employees from six (6) zenith banks in Rivers State were covered. A sample size of one hundred and two (102) respondents were drawn from the population and the simple random sampling was used. Data were collected using copies of questionnaire and the data were analaysed using Multiple Regression Analysis so as to ascertain the relationship between the dimensions of transformational leadership (inspiration motivation and intellectual stimulation) with the measures of learning and growth (employee capabilities and information systems capabilities). It was observed that there is a significant relationship amongst the variables. It was concluded that inspiration motivation and intellectual stimulation are important transformational leadership characteristics that can improve employee capabilities and hence banking operations effectiveness and efficiency. It was recommended that bank managers should develop a transformational leadership style that will improve employee capabilities.
