Empowering Engineering for Social Change: Transformational Empowerment Leadership Guide   is one of four -part series of books on transformative leadership. This volume focuses on transformational empowerment leadership for leaders passionate about leading change in today’s world with inequalities and injustice to the marginalized individuals and communities seeking change and better human conditions. Leaders or agents   who want to learn how to strengthen their organizations, communities, and the individuals within them  through empowerment of followers and value-based leadership skills that bring desired change will find this book a must have resource. The book also presents the concept of empowerment leadership as a tool for social change by  a means of empowering engineering thinking toward improving the quality of life, expanding the basis of human well-being,  and as a mechanism for effecting value based social transformation. Through reviews of research at individual (micro) and community (meso) levels, inductive, and personal reflective experiential accounts as a change agent, this book serves as a needed empowerment leadership resource to guide today’s social change agents in research of better empowerment  implementation design, execution of  the plan for social change, training of leaders and followers for  sustainable community impact. It is also an important resource for engineers in academic institutions, who are working on education research or looking for a socio-technical model for empowering or engineering students to engage in social change. The book provides a mechanism for leading  broad-based social transformation. Based on studies and analyses of leadership, business, and successes of  great leaders from the past and present, this book works to enable leaders (both secular and non-secular) to become greater than they may have realized was possible, empowering their followers and driving success by working from a system carefully developed from an understanding of what great leadership entails in service.
