Abstract

High school education for people of color and sound leadership are critical drivers for the United States to remain competitive on a global scale. The purpose of this paper was to present the current problem in minority high school graduation rates, a literature review of transformational leadership, and a transformational leadership strategy that may help improve graduation rates in students of color. Advances in technology, telecommunications, and transportation are continuing to drag United States industries such as computer programming, high-tech manufacturing, and service sectors into global competition. That said, the advancement of those segments is creating a demand for high-skilled labor around the world. For U.S. businesses to maintain a high level of growth in the global marketplace and realize its full potential, American employers must continue to tap into the talents of its minority workforce.
