Question 1
1.1 Transformational Leadership
Transformational leadership is defined as a leadership approach that brings significant
change in both followers and the organization. Transformational leaders inspire and
motivate their followers by creating a vision for the future, fostering an environment of
trust, and encouraging innovation and creativity. They focus on intangible qualities like
vision, shared values, and ideas to build relationships, give larger meaning to separate
activities, and inspire people to participate in the change process. This leadership style is
based on the leader's personal values, beliefs, and qualities rather than on a transactional
exchange process.
1.2 Charismatic Leadership
Charismatic leadership is characterized by the ability to inspire and motivate followers to
achieve extraordinary outcomes through the leader's charm, passion, and persuasive
communication. Charismatic leaders have an emotional impact on their followers,
instilling both awe and submission. They articulate an idealized vision of a better future,
set high expectations, and use metaphors, stories, and nonverbal communication to
connect with their followers emotionally. The influence of charismatic leaders comes from
their personal characteristics rather than a formal position of authority, and they often
inspire followers to transcend their own interests for the sake of the group's goals.
