Introduction
	Leadership is one of the fastest growing industries globally. On the contrary, other demands that if the leaders develop the efforts without scientifically evaluating, then there are risks of the efforts may not deliver fruitful outcomes or even provide negative and unintended results. Hence, it is through leadership coaching which consists of a professional coach and an aspiring leader who emphasizes in fostering the awareness of the clients, helps in making sustained changes and ultimately success (Joo, 2005). Therefore, the desired results of the leadership coaching are sustained changes in the behaviors of the leaders enhancing the performance and helping them towards a long-term career success (Taylor, S., Passarelli, A., & Van Oosten, E. 2019). Further, the sustained changes can take two months to eight months for building a new and moderate attitude of a leader.

Hence, it is only due to innovations by leaders by implementing new technologies which have helped in the emergence of innovative organizational edifices and the modern way of performing tasks.

Further, it is intrinsic motivation which is self-regulated and the other forms of motivation will be external which is through pay and recognition of the employees (Deci et al., 2017). Further, it is leader-followers trusts which is essential for undergoing a transformation with respect to the operating system of the organization through transformational style of leadership (Kouzes J., & Posner, B. 2019). The roles that will be allocated to the following employees as a leader is detailed below. 
Change Manager: The main responsibility of the change manager will be managing the transformation queue. Further, the change manager must ensure that changes must be done efficiently with minimum risks such as loss of data. The change manager will encourage changes and motivate the subordinates to implement the changes. Finally,
