This study was grounded on a previous investigation of the mediating effect of teamwork on the relationship between transformational leadership and performance. The purpose of this study is to enhance theoretical knowledge of transformational leadership. This study enrolled 263 athletes registered with the Korea Sports and Olympic Committee. We assessed transformational leadership, communication, team cohesion, and athletic performance. To analyze the collected data, SPSS 24.0, PROCESS macro (V4.1), and Amos 24.0 were used. There was an interaction effect between transformational leadership and communication on athletic performance, mediated by team cohesion. According to the moderated mediating effect index, team cohesion was a significant moderator of athletic performance. It can be concluded that coaches who possess strong coaching abilities and engage in accurate, positive communication with their athletes can enhance team cohesion, organizational behavior, leading to a positive impact on athletic performance.

This paper, converted from a presentation given at the 2017 PNLA Conference in Post Falls, Idaho, briefly examines four areas that library professionals, regardless of experience, education level, station or title, can begin cultivating in order to better hone leadership skills. The four topics of: communication, accountability and expectations, failure, and initiative and creativity are by no means an allinclusive list of areas needing to be examined when honing leadership skills. These areas were chosen as a base-set of common areas all aspiring--and established--leaders should focus on to begin transformational leadership change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
