, QUESTION 1
1.1 Transformational Leadership
Transformational leadership is a style of leadership where leaders inspire and
motivate their followers to achieve exceptional outcomes and, in the process,
develop their own leadership potential. This type of leader focuses on changing the
status quo by creating a vision for the future, encouraging innovation, and fostering
an environment that promotes personal and professional growth.
Transformational leadership involves leading by inspiring and motivating team
members to exceed their expectations. Leaders who adopt this style work to create a
compelling vision of the future and support their team in reaching that vision by
encouraging innovation, fostering individual growth, and creating a strong sense of
purpose.
1.2 Charismatic Leadership
Charismatic leadership is a style where leaders use their personal charm,
persuasiveness, and magnetism to influence and inspire followers. These leaders
typically have a compelling vision and exhibit enthusiasm and confidence that can
captivate and motivate their team, often leading to high levels of commitment and
loyalty.
Charismatic leadership is characterized by a leader's ability to attract and inspire
followers through their personal appeal and compelling vision. This style relies
heavily on the leader’s ability to communicate a clear, engaging vision and generate
enthusiasm and emotional investment among team members.
1.3 Comparison and Application
Comparison:
Focus: Transformational leadership is more focused on long-term goals and
fostering growth within the team, while charismatic leadership primarily revolves
around the leader’s ability to inspire through personal charm and vision.
Motivation: Transformational leaders motivate through a shared vision and personal
development, whereas charismatic leaders often use their personal allure and
confidence to drive motivation.
Change: Transformational leadership involves a proactive approach to change,
aiming to innovate and improve. Charismatic leadership may be more reactive, often
driving change through the leader's influence and vision rather than a structured
plan.
