Leadership is an important factor that influences the attitudes and behaviours of subordinate with respect to Organizational goals. Leadership creates visions, supports to build relationships and increase the interest of subordinates. However, transformational leadership provides self-confidence to subordinates, increase intrinsic motivation, inspiration and support innovation, personal development, and social relationships among employees. The influence of leadership on innovation within organizations is an extremely important subject, a feature which will remain relevant in the future of the company. Therefore, the question of this paper work is to find out the influence or the impact that a transformational leadership has on Organizational innovation, in which to a large extent will also influence employees' or workers' attitude to work and performances, in any given Organization.

More so, transformational leadership components which influence innovation at the individual and organizational level would be considered as well. To further buttress my points, this paper work would expand the understanding of transformational leadership's influence or effect on organizational innovation at the organizational level. This topic is important because at the present time, almost all organizations are facing a dynamic environment, rapid changes in technologies, and high demand for new products and services. In order to grow and survive, companies must develop new and inimitable approaches to attract and retain their customers and to have a competitive advantage in our today's world of business. Whether the organization is a business or providing a service for the customer: creativity and innovation can be a good solution in becoming flexible when encountering changes in the business environment. As innovation can play an effective role in economic growth, technological and development, it fosters effort both on the part of individual and at an organizational level.
