Transformational leadership is known to offer the crucial wish list well suited for the organizations that are transitioning towards innovation and creativity. It is therefore the combination of significant traits that holds the ‘Pied pipers effect́ for the transformational leadership which makes it more potent than that of the routine managerial work to cope with the organizational transformational processes. The findings of the case study suggests that a successful transformational organizational process requires change leaders (i.e., Managers or the change implementers) to install within themselves the sets of appropriate skills and attributes that are characteristic to the so-called transformational leaders, to enforce innovation and creativity through effective organizational change management process. An additional contribution of the paper is to highlight the similarity between the transformational leadership's impact on the work teams with the character of Pied Piper of Hamelin from a children's story.
