organization, self-responsibility is a trait that the first developed characteristic of a future leader

seen two different form of intelligences as per Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory (Peterlin,
Dimovski, Uhan and Penger, 2019). It is to be considered though that a person cognizant of
himself to a significant level can address the problems of others while inspiring his team
members to grow their skill sets. Talking leadership is a holistic approach as it takes a
considerable effort to make a difference to encourage the other executives achieve their
individual targets while working for an organization. Taking leadership on a larger scale, takes
streamlining the critical upper level management decisions to the mid-level and low level
management while keeping in mind the cultural and ethical implications of the organization.
Transformational leadership can be considered as the most important leadership style that acts
like an important bridge between the upper level management and low level management and is
responsible for taking various path-breaking decisions to facilitate the operational and revenue
flow of the organization (Marsh and Farrell, 2014). As in traits, a transformational leader should

various departments and business operations at the same time. Transformational leadership is
ideal for mid-level management and the leadership style strongly emphasizes on encouraging,
inspiring and motivating the employees working at different levels to transform and to devise a
change in the organizational culture. The transformational leaders should have good creative
thinking, mathematical and pragmatic problem solving skills with a composed personality which
utilizes lateral, parallel thinking processes along with verbal-linguistic intelligence. The latter is
important as this position is in constant touch and communication with employees from different
backgrounds and sociocultural frameworks. They contribute greatly to the corporate culture, to
ownership of the employees and workplace independence. Transformational leaders must be able
to stimulate the workforce in the organization without much micromanagement. The
transformational leadership style help the organization and its employees to become creative,

resources department is critical to organizational success and the transformational leaders are the
ones who are given the duty to bring about the change.

period of time. Mastering the intrapersonal skills in inter-professional collaborative effort comes
with age and experience and in a transformational leadership style, a quick evaluation of others,
empathy diplomacy, tactical influences and critical thinking are very important nuances of inter-
professional communication.
