The leader is the one who is a role model and who knows how to lead a group or team for successful accomplishment of a given task. Being a good leader provides many great opportunities. Leadership is for everyone because every person can influence others. With the emergence of leadership in modern society many theorists, scholars and psychologists have based their theories on the styles of leadership and have given laws of leadership. It is observed that the transformational leaders are the one who create and support and environment that caters to the employee wellbeing and mental health. Transformational leadership has a strong potential to affect the workers satisfaction and reduce burnout.
