Burns' work has influenced other transformational leadership theorists such as Bernard Bass, Bruce Avolio, Kenneth Leithwood, and a number of others.
He was the first to coin the term "Transformational leadership", a concept further developed by James MacGregor Burns, and one of the key concepts in leadership research over the past 25 years.
Presidential biographer James MacGregor Burns (1918-) has held two SSRC awards: a demobilization award in 1946-47, and a research training award in 1949.
