Transformational leadership:
In the year 1978 the book entitled "Leadership" by James MacGregor Burns explains the concept of Transformational Leadership. Generally in a transformational leadership we can commonly observe intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration, inspirational motivation and Idealized influence characterstics. Transformational Leadership is a type of leadership that connects followers to a compelling future. The transformational leaders are the leaders who lead the followers through examples. They engage the followers through motivating, inspiring, etc. These leaders are confident, courageous, etc so that they can empower the followers to reach the goals effectively through integration and coordination. The transformational leaders can change the working atmospheres through their skills and qualities. They maximize the capability and capacity of the employees through implementing strong problem solving skills and other employability skills. According to Burns, transformational leadership happens when leaders and followers help each other to advance to a higher level of moral and motivation.
This style of leadership is characterized by:
The humanization of the members of the team, intellectual stimulation worker seeks, assessing their ability to provide ideas and suggest improvements to processes.
There is special interest in the team fired on their roles within the organization, taking part in her success.
The management is confident in his team and has made them commit to long-term goals rather than short-term results.
Ex: An executive who 'leads from the middle,' in the words of James MacGregor Bums, relinquishes some authority to an interrelated network of healthcare managers. These healthcare managers must operate within the one system of ethical constraints, but also bring their own ethical concerns to the table. It sees the legitimacy of a leader as dependent on his ethical standing . Burns held that the defining trait of an ethical leader was to lift a company above all the voices that conspire to seaduce it away from its set of core values, and he deemphasized the "command-and-control. approach favored previously. In fact, one of the responsibilities of such a leader is to establish a dialogue that encourages dissent.
