Implementing Transactional and Transformational Leadership Styles

This presentation provides a comparative analysis of transactional and transformational leadership styles, illustrating their practical applications within a work environment, specifically within Nestle company's Human Resources (Department A) and Production (Department B) departments. Transactional leadership, emphasizing supervision, performance-based rewards, and adherence to standards, is proposed for the HR department, focusing on creating a structured work environment and clarifying the relationship between performance and rewards. Transformational leadership, which focuses on motivation, inspiration, and positive change, is suggested for the production department, aiming to enhance motivation, commitment, and value addition in production activities. The presentation further critically analyzes the potential outcomes of implementing each leadership style in their respective departments, including improvements in critical analysis, networking, and decision-making in HR, and enhanced product quality, employee retention, and resource utilization in production. The conclusion highlights that transactional leadership helps motivate employees through rewards and incentives, while transformational leadership fosters mutual motivation between employees and managers, ultimately contributing to a better working environment.
