TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP1
Transformational leadership can be explained as the leadership style under which
leaders inspire, motivate and encourage the employees to make innovations and create
changes which will reshape the future success of the organization (Odumeru & Ogbonna,
2013). I think that, the transformational leaders mainly inspire as well as motivate the
workforce and trust their employees and allow them to take part in the decision making
process. Furthermore, in my point of view, more than just a leadership style, it is a
management style which mainly designed to give workforce more chances of being creative.
It is important for the transformational leaders to possess certain characteristics such as,
exemplifying moral standards inside the organization, encouraging and motivating others to
perform efficiently, fostering an ethical and professional workplace that is enriched with
cultural and moral values (Menon, 2014). In my point of view, this leadership style creates
positive and valuable changes in the followers, having the end goal of train or develop the
followers into the leaders. Individualized consideration, intellectual simulation, inspirational
motivation and idealized influence are four essential elements that the transformational
leaders need to focus on.
Similar to all other leaders, I think the leaders who are adopting this leadership style
also possess some strengths and weaknesses. Other than dictating changes to the team,
transformational leaders usually inspire individuals to change their own expectations,
motivations and perceptions towards work for achieving common organizational objectives
and goals. As this leadership style focuses towards formulating visions quickly, creating
enthusiasm, encouraging the learning and development activities; for me, these will act as
major strengths. In addition, other strengths of this leadership style also includes changing of
the low-moral situations, excellent communication quality, and understandable relationship
with the every organizational personality and focus towards maintenance of the ethics and
culture of the organization (Roueche, Baker III & Rose, 2014). Overall, in my point of view,
