ABSTRACT

 Transreladership (TRL), a concept developed by Acquah[1], is defined as ‘the ability to produce remarkable, tangible and lasting changes, through intentional connectivity and creating of followers who are willing and capable of achieving a goal’.

          Transreladership develops the ability of leaders and followers to make changes that are progressively remarkable. That is changes that are ground-breaking and breath-taking, with a lasting impact that can withstand the challenges of different generations. These are changes that can make people look into the future and hold their shoulders high with confidence that they can face tomorrow even with greater relevance. It gives them great insight into current issues and an understanding of future trends. Accordingly, they become well-positioned to be a brand that people would love to come into contact with and would want to gladly associate with. It is a change that never dies.

            This kind of transformation cannot be achieved on a silver platter. It should be a transformation that is born out of working in the heart of people to cause them to will and to take action towards the fulfilment of set goals. It calls for being intentional in winning the hearts of people and endearing them to be committed and dedicated to the course. It does not employ intimidation, threats or compulsion.

            Again, transreladership seeks to provide the skill to be able to create the required following by putting in place interventions that would sharpen the skills of leadership and followers alike. So, with skilful hands and a great touch of excellence, the goals would be achieved, which is the ability to create remarkable, tangible and lasting changes, through intentional connectivity and creating of followers who are willing and capable of achieving a goal.

            Transreladership runs with the main vision of connecting hearts and leaving living legacies. The main tagline is thus Connecting Hearts! Leaving Living Legacies!. It seeks to produce tangible and lasting TRANSFORMATION in any sphere of life through the effective combination of solid RELATIONSHIP and LEADERSHIP.

            Transreladership begins with a decision and a call, continues with a drive that is irresistible and unbeatable and achieves goals with lasting impact and impression. Transreladership does not only look at external changes but most importantly internal transformation. It does not only look at getting results or achieving goals but also focuses on changing the character, charisma and conduct of both leader and followers. They make an imprint that can never be washed away and write their own history and leave footprints in the annals of humanity with an indelible mark.

            Transreladership is not about strong men and systems; it is about moving the heart of people, young and old, in a particular direction. It is the capacity to provide the right inspiration, impartation and institutional framework for a team, thereby facilitating the development of abilities and skills of team members needed to bring about the desired change. It is about getting results through the building of solid relationships and creation of willing followers without any form of compulsion. The key point here is the ability to create even if it does not exist. It swallows up excuses and is able to declare, IT IS FINISHED.
