Comparison of any two leadership styles along with their benefits in this industry
Leadership is the ability of an individual to influence the person or a group of persons in
a particular direction. Inculcating the leadership style is very much important as it helps in
performing the work in a more effective way. The leadership quality would help an individual in
gaining self confidence in himself. It also helps in attaining the goals and objectives which has
been planned. A leader leads the group and provides a particular path to his members. There are
some other goals of leadership also, some of them may includes, improvement of communication
skills, development of a different charisma, gaining of the confidence, increased awareness about
the various topics and much more. There are various types of leadership skill which an individual
can adopt or inculcate in himself. The type of leadership skill which I believe to have in me is the
transactional leadership skills and transformational leadership skills (Feng and et. al., 2018).
Transactional leadership skills is a leadership style in which the leader's major focus is
upon the completion of specific task and he motivates his team members by showcasing him the
rewards and punishments. It is also known as managerial leadership. This theory is based upon
certain assumptions. Some of these assumptions are:
Chain of command: It means that a proper chain or hierarchy needs to get followed when
giving the command. A team member should receive the command from a single boss only. If he
receives the command from more than one then it might create misunderstandings or confusion
to the individual. By taking the command from one person, a proper clear path about can be
formed upon which the team member can effectively walk (Duan, Liu and Che, 2018).
Use of rewards and punishment strategy: The leadership follows the strategy of reward and
punishment. A leader is very much clear about their goals and objectives. He provides the
rewards to the members who have performed very well in their performance. Apart from this he
punishes the people who have not performed that enough in his work.
Monitoring: The activities and the actions of the team members are clearly get monitored. The
proper monitoring is performed so that the risk of increase in gap of standard performance and
actual performance can get minimum to its best.
Obeying of instruction: Here the member needs to obey the instructions of the leader. They
need to follow exactly what the leader has commended to them to perform.
Transformational leadership is another type of leadership in which the leader works
together with the team members to identify and work together in analysing the change, setting up

for the goals and objectives, and much more. This type of leadership enhance the motivation,
confidence and the internal willingness of the employees to perform better. The motivational
level of the team members gets increased all the decisions are taken with the consultancy of all
the members. Together the leader and members decide for the areas where the change is needed
and together they come up with a particular solutions so that they can bring up the change in a
more smooth and effective manner. Here the decisions are taken by taking the ideas and opinions
of all the members and then final decisions are achieved.
In my practice, I inculcate both these leadership skills. The type of leadership skill
depends much upon the situation I am into. If I want to establish the things or change rigidly and
make my members work then surly the transactional leadership style is used. But if I need to take
the decisions of employees or other team member for deciding of any goal or objectives, then
transformational leadership skills are used( Dhar, 2016).
CONCLUSION
From the above file it is concluded that leadership is one of the most important aspect
that helps in developing motivation within the employees. Then in this file an personal statement
is given over job requirement. Also personal development plan is prepared and in the end
leadership style has been compared.
