" The speakers at this conference each offer what they believe defines the 'transformational' leader. One of the interviewees referred to as Mr. Graham states that transformational leaders are leaders who "do the right thing." (Bennett, Dorsey, and Graham, 2006) the transformational leader is said to be the leader who has a 'vision' and who is able to communicate that vision with a passion. This conference greatly provides insight to the myriad of issues of leadership that are inclusive in the non-profit organizational repertoire of necessary skills for the organization's leader.
SUMMARY of the PRELIMINARY REVIEW of LITERATURE
The preliminary literature review in this study has informed this study that there are various theories of motivation and that researchers have found that different methods of motivation are more effective with certain types of individuals while other methods of motivation are better with other types of individuals. The method used to motivate self-confident employees are quite different than those used to motivate insecure and immature employees. Furthermore, while some individuals are motivated intrinsically, or because of internal factors, other employees are extrinsically motivated and motivation of these employees is more effective if rewards are offered for a job completed efficiently and with excellence. This preliminary review of literature has only touched the surface of the literature related to employee motivation and yet has gained an understanding that effective communication is likely the most important factor in effectively motivating employees in the non-profit organization.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations arising from this brief study include the recommendation that an extensive and rigorous review of literature in the subject area of employee motivation and specifically motivation of employees in the non-profit organization be conducted in order to gain a better understanding of what motivates different types of individuals in the non-profit organization.

Individual Literature Review Transformational Theory Change theories have long been used to address leadership styles in education and other positions of power and respect.
