CASE STUDY: THE BANKING COMPANY (Please note that
the case study is not a real company situation.) Martin Sithole
was promoted after 10 years of service in various leadership
positions to an executive position at ABC Bank. His promotion
was, amongst other factors, due to his strong confidence and the
impact he had on subordinates to perform and exceed targets in
the division he was responsible for. Martin is very loyal to the
company but is also well known in the industry for several
business mergers and acquisitions he was involved in. In his
new role, the chief executive officer (CEO) requested Martin to
start the process to merge with another bank and include his
team in the planning thereof. Martin developed his subordinates
in the standard operating procedures associated with a merger.
However, he dictated his vision of the merger from a self-
interest perspective and did not consider any suggestions from
his subordinates. Considering the upcoming merger, the
executive board of ABC Bank requested the Human Resources
Wellness Division to design organisational coping strategies to
eliminate or control organisational-level stressors to prevent and
reduce job stress for individual employees. A new employee
joined Martin’s team using a wheelchair, which created
discomfort for some of the team members as they were not clear
on how to interact with the differently abled colleague. They
approached Martin for assistance in this matter. Martin
approached the Human Resource Training Division for ideas on
, addressing the situation. In addition, there were complaints that
input from female subordinates was not valued in weekly
meetings, which Martin also had to address to manage team
diversity. 2 Question 1 1.1 Identify which modern leadership
theory was applied by Martin Sithole and explain in your own
words what this leadership theory entails. (5) 1.2 Discuss ethical
and unethical characteristics of the identified leadership theory
and integrate examples from the case study in your discussion.

1.1 Modern Leadership Theory Applied by Martin Sithole
Martin Sithole appears to apply aspects of Transformational
Leadership Theory in his approach to leading at ABC Bank.
Transformational leadership focuses on inspiring and motivating
employees to exceed expectations, fostering an environment of
commitment, and driving change that aligns with the
organization's long-term goals.
Explanation of Transformational Leadership Theory:
• Vision and Inspiration: Transformational leaders
articulate a compelling vision that motivates followers to
work towards shared goals. Martin's promotion and
leadership style reflect his strong confidence and ability to
motivate subordinates to perform and exceed targets.
• Individual Development: This theory emphasizes the
development of subordinates. While Martin developed his
team in standard operating procedures related to mergers,
the key concern is his failure to consider their input.
