This research aimed to identify the status-quo of practicing transformational leadership among college deans at Northern Borders University from the faculty members' point of view. This research is based on an analytical descriptive approach; a questionnaire was used as the tool to collect data. The questionnaire comprised the four dimensions of transformational leadership; inspirational motivation, idealized influence, individualized consideration, and intellectual stimulation. The tool validity and reliability were confirmed by suitable statistical methods. The population of the study included 590 individuals, representing the total number of staff college members at Northern Borders University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A total of 380 respondents completed the questionnaire which was sent out by e-mail (almost 64 per cent of the total number of staff members). After collecting the data and using the SPSS program to analyze it, the research concluded several results, the most important of which follow. Transformational leadership has been practiced to a high degree among college deans at Northern Borders University. Considering the dimensions, individuals considerations came in the first order regarding the practice among deans, followed by inspirational motivation, then idealized influence, and finally the dimension of intellectual stimulation. In the light of these research results, the researcher has made some further recommendations, including designing programs to train department heads, agents, and other academic leaders on modern types of leadership, especially transformational leadership.
