Transformational Leadership
This type of leadership is the ability to bring out significant change in both followers
as well as in the organisation. They have the ability to lead changes to the vision,
strategy and culture of the organisation and promote innovation in products and
technology. Leaders benefit from the completion of tasks. This type of leadership
promotes change within the organisation. Transformational leaders are sometimes
call quiet leaders. They are the ones that lead by example. Their style tends to use
rapport, inspiration, or empathy to engage followers. They are known to possess
courage, confidence, and the willingness to make sacrifices for the greater good.
There are four factors to transformational leadership, (also known as the
"four I's"): idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and
individual consideration. Each factor will be discussed to help managers use this
approach in the workplace. Here are some examples but there are more from the
case study.
