In the present study, it is probed to explain the meaning of green transformational leadership and how green behaviors of businesses make contribution to the environment and their performance and to contribute to the literature. Green transformational leadership is a leadership model which provides businesses an opportunity to solve problems related to their relationship and interaction with the environment and their impact upon economic performance. Namely, a transformational leader with green values motivates the followers and aims to provide organizational development by focusing on the issues which are beneficial to the organizational environment.
