Y Culture is a consulting firm that has written about transformational leadership. Y Culture (2018) notes that among the characteristics of transformational leaders are self-management, ability to take risks, the ability to make difficult decisions, inspirational, adaptability, proactive nature and leadership with vision.
When we look at these strengths versus my own, there are definitely some synergies. First is vision – a transformational leader must have vision for the future, something that is different from simply maintaining the status quo. Furthermore, the transformational leader is inspirational; on my quiz it came up with motivational, but those are much the same.… Continue Reading...
Transactional Leadership and Transformational Leadership
Transactional leadership style is a leadership style that uses group performance, organization, and supervision to get results. It is also called managerial leadership. This leadership style is focused on getting specific tasks done and the leader may use punishments and rewards as motivational tools. A good structure is highly valued in such a scenario as is highly apparent in situations such as the military and big companies where the leadership style is widely used (Cherry, 2018).
Transactional leadership is not an optimal leadership style where innovation and creativity… Continue Reading...
leadership orthodoxy that transformational leaders are more successful than transactional ones. Given that transformational leadership requires the leader to inspire and motivate followers, and that a high degree of emotional intelligence would reasonably be thought to aid in this, the hypothesis can be formed that leaders with emotional intelligence are more likely to be transformational leaders, and more successful ones as well.
Several studies have explored the link between emotional intelligence and the transformational leadership style. Quader (2011) notes that emotional leadership can be subdivided into five different areas. Of these, three are more associated with transactional leadership: self-awareness, self-motivation and emotional mentoring).… Continue Reading...
leadership style considered three types: transactional, transformational and laissez-faire, but the focus of this study will be of transformational leadership style. The transformational style is characterized by leaders who modify the needs, preferences, and aspirations of followers as they wish from self-interest to collective interest (Lam & Higgins, 2013; Genderen, 2012). Other definitions of transformational leadership are the ability of a leader to influence the beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes of others by working with and through them in accomplishing organizational mission and purpose. In essence, a transformational leader is one who elevates his followers' desire for achievement and self-development while promoting the development of groups and organizations (Genderen,… Continue Reading...

Annotation: This research shows how transformational leadership is a central factor in helping teams overcome the problems of personality diversity. In addition to encouraging collaboration in the team and workplace culture overall, transformational leadership also engenders commitment and intrinsic motivation. The authors hypothesize that public service motivation in particular can reduce the effectiveness of transformational leadership methods, based on a survey of over one thousand public service professionals in Mexico. Unlike other studies, this research… Continue Reading...
and certainly does not align itself with models like transformational leadership, which could potentially undermine chain of command. However, the Army always needs situational leaders: those who have a high degree of situational awareness and the ability to respond to change with decisive action. This course has revealed the complexities of Army leadership, in that we need to inspire followership based on principles, values, and intrinsic motivation while also respecting organizational culture and chain of command.

Additionally, it also appears that transformational leadership is an efficacious approach to collaborative leadership. This particular leadership approach typically involves leaders getting their followers to wholeheartedly believe in both the former as well as the specific change those leaders are attempting to induce. The collaboration involved in this process evident. Leaders require followers to believe in the changes they are trying to make to produce the best results, which means both parties are involved in realizing organizational goals.
Coercive leadership approaches are an ineffective means of achieving desired results largely because they are the inverse… Continue Reading...

Introduction
My personal leadership development plan is based my intention to use transformational leadership theory to promote healthcare-eldercare advocacy in my organizational behavior. As Shanks and Buchbinder (2012) show, “leadership development includes both formal and informal efforts” (p. 279). Completing courses online or at a university are formal ways to develop one’s leadership skills, while informal efforts can include anything from mentoring others to coaching and guiding staff members in new tasks or cross-discipline work. No matter the method employed, a personal leadership development plan should utilize a strategy for maximizing leadership effectiveness by implementing an appropriate theoretical support for the plan,… Continue Reading...
assesses the impact of transformational leadership on organizational outcomes could be used to bolster theories that stress leadership style. Alternatively, a study that shows that situational leadership leads to improved outcomes might change existing theories. Leadership and organizational behavior theories can account for various factors like leadership traits and styles, as well as followership, organizational culture and structure, and variables like gender, age, or ethnicity. A collective body of research not only evolves leadership theory but also promotes the development of evidence-based leadership and organizational practices.

Emotional Intelligence influences numerous approaches to leadership, especially the transactional and transformational leadership approach. The latter approach, wherein leaders inspire coworkers and subordinates to take a novel perspective to their routine tasks, needs more attention, as it is regarded as most closely linked to EI. Meanwhile, the transactional approach to leadership entails performance-linked employee censure or rewards (Quader, 2011). Research has also determined links between EI characteristics and transformational leadership; transformational leadership is relatively less related to social intelligence, while its link with cognitive intelligence is the weakest. Leaders govern whether or not the corporate ladder leans on the correct wall.… Continue Reading...
Russian leaders, EI is not a correlating factor in successful leadership styles -- namely, transformational leadership. What the study of Russian leaders and EI suggests is that EI does not serve as a significant factor in strong leaders. Yet, the study also indicated that a "participative" style of leadership is preferred among Russians sampled (Van Genderen, 2012, p. 224). What this means is that Russians value a leader who participates in the work himself and is not simply dictating or delegating. The participative style is inclusive and welcomes input. It is open and communicative -- and in this sense it is supported by variables… Continue Reading...
was an ethical leader from the beginning who practiced both ethical leadership and transformational leadership skills to bring the Hebrews to the Promised Land. He killed a slave master for cruelly whipping a Hebrew, fled, met an angel of God, and returned to his true people to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and through the desert for 40 years.
Moses was given up by his mother as an infant because the Egyptian ruler feared that the Israelites were becoming too powerful and would ally themselves with Egypt’s enemy. So the order was given that all Israelite children should be killed. Moses was… Continue Reading...

The main emphasis emerging from the transformational leadership concept is for nursing leaders to produce not just constructive but also valuation challenges for their subordinates and followers for the realization of the established organizational objectives. Based on Damirch, Rahimi, and Seyyedi (2011), the famous James MacGregor Burns created this design when researching governmental leaders; nevertheless, its good effect traversed to other fields and areas.

The main styles of leadership that have taken center stage in the modern era have all come from the University Theories models. The role of EI and transformational leadership within today's discussions of 21st century leadership are now predominant because they reflect the trend in modern culture that seeks to maximize potential and use every last drop of one's resources towards achieving the overall organizational aim in the manner that is most effective for the long-term. The role of ethics has also become important in leadership, as the fall of corporations like Enron have shown a need for transparency, trust, authenticity and virtue among leaders to ensure success.

to produce a change, which is one of the core tenets of transformational leadership (Langston, 2009). That change was manifested in the securing of tenement parking spots from club patrons attempting to take them. But it also reflected a deeper change within the apartment complex community. Previously, the complex had merely functioned as a collection of disparate individuals who happened to live together. There was no solidarity among the tenants -- except for on a very impersonal, amicable basis. My efforts were able to unite the complex under a common cause and get it to consider the effect that such solidarity has… Continue Reading...
