TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP
Where a leader motivates and directs followers by appealing to their own self-interest. Motivation through a system of
rewards and punishment If a subordinate does what is asked, a reward will follow, and if not a punishment. Goals linked to
rewards. Work of their subordinates actively watched. They intervene only when standards are not met or when the
performance doesn’t meet expectations. It supplies an environment where subordinates get many opportunities to make
decisions. However, the leader abdicates responsibilities and avoids making decisions; therefore, the team often lacks
direction. Assumptions Made by a Transactional Leader Employees are only motivated by reward and punishment.
The subordinates have to obey the orders of the superior. The subordinates are not self-motivated. They have to be closely
monitored and controlled to get the work done from them.

environment permeated by position, power, perks, and politics.
