Transformational Leadership

Let’s take a look at transformational leadership. Transformational leadership generates awareness and acceptance of a group’s purpose and mission and gets employees to see beyond their own needs and self-interests for the good of the group.

Transformational leaders are able to make their followers feel that they are a vital part of the organization and help them see how their jobs fit with the organization’s vision. By linking individual and organizational interests, transformational leaders encourage followers to make sacrifices for the organization because they know that they will prosper when the organization prospers.

Transformational leadership has four components: charismatic leadership or idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. Because transformational leaders put others’ needs ahead of their own and share risks with their followers, they are admired, respected, and trusted, and followers want to emulate them.

While transformational leaders use visionary and inspirational appeals to influence followers, transactional leadership is based on an exchange process in which followers are rewarded for good performance and punished for poor performance. When leaders administer rewards fairly and offer followers the rewards that they want, followers will often reciprocate with effort.
