How leadership can inspire and motivate staff members to improve performances
The transformational leadership approach is one in which a leader inspires and provides
motivation for team members for creating changes which are positive in organisation. The style
of leadership may increase morale of group which leads for innovation rapidly, improving
resolution of conflicts, bringing decline in turnover and bringing an ownership sense in the team.
The process of leadership is where followers and leaders raise one another to high levels of
morality and motivation. At Salisbury, it has been seen that transformational leadership has
brought influence on the employees and motivated staff to see the vision of their leader and align
their objectives with that of the organisation (Veliu and et.al.,2017).
Transformational leadership is the process where following steps are taken:
a) Encouragement is provided to team members.
b) Clear goals are set with clear vision for employees.
c) Support and recognition has been provided.
d) Integrity and fairness has been modelled.
e) Positive emotions are provoked.
f) People are inspired for goal achievement.
In transformational leadership, leader provides motivation to employees for bringing change in
them by self-motivating them for achieving the objectives. This leadership seen in Salisbury sees
both team and leader develop qualities and skills as individual. This helps in better work
management to take up tasks which are complex and help increase performance.
Effective transformational leadership for being effective, there has to be an inspirational and
clear vision of future of team. Vision has to be outlining the organisation’s purpose being
relevant for the business and mission like being done at Salisbury (Bakari, Hunjra and Niazi,
2017).
