For example, Burns's typology of transforming and transaction style leadership- transforming referring to a leader articulating and implementing a specific vision for society, and transaction indicating that leaders engage in exchange and trade-offs as a means of maintaining stability and enacting change-is organized around the notion of heroes or villains, or "the office-holder" or managers (i.e., with charisma or lacking in charisma).
