The Transformational style of leadership elicits effort and commitment form subordinates by addressing their emotions, values, and long term goals; while also addressing subordinates’ desire and satisfying individual needs. Hence, it creates positive command climate, leads to higher performance and job satisfaction, and correlates with greater commitments of subordinates (Bass 1990). The TFL theory was originally developed by Burns (1978), and later enhanced by Bass (1985, 1998) and others (Bass & Avolio, 1990 & 1994; Bennis & Nanua, 1985; Tichy & Devanna, 1986). Transformational leadership has four major components: Idealized Influence (II), Inspirational Motivation (IM), Intellectual Stimulation (IS), and Individualized Consideration (IC). This leadership advocates making an efficient leader by enhancing performance of subordinates through generating their extra effort and satisfaction. Understanding the realities of present transformation, TFL may be more appropriate to deal with the UCs as well as transcend them for future employment with enhanced effectiveness for Bangladesh…

Contemporary views of leadership come in many forms. Unlike views of the past, contemporary views of leadership include the complex interaction between the leader and follower, reactions to leadership and results of the leadership style. Six contemporary leadership styles that can be looked at are transactional, transforming, servant, situational, contingency and instrumental. Contemporary leadership views tend to be very similar, but there is much debate over the differences of each of them. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the similarities and differences among these six contemporary views of leadership.…

This document is intended to compare and contrasts Transformational and Transactional Leadership and discusses how they are used in management of organizations by managers. Before we can delve into the comparison or contrast, we first need to define what we mean by each of these terms we are comparing and contrasting. Transformational Leadership Defined This type of leadership can best be defined as a process in which "leaders and followers help each other to advance to a higher level of morale and motivation". This style of leadership is intended to create significant changes in the life of people and organizations. This leadership style redesigns perceptions and values, and changes expectations and aspirations of employees. Unlike in the transactional approach, it is not based on a "give and take" relationship, but on the leader's personality, traits and ability to make a change through example, articulation of an energizing vision and challenging goals. Transforming leaders are idealized in the sense that they are a moral exemplar of working towards the benefit of the team, organization and/or community. The extent, to which a leader is transformational, is measured first, in terms of his influence on the followers. The followers of such a leader feel trust, admiration, loyalty and respect for the leader and because of the qualities of the transformational leader are willing to work harder than originally expected. These outcomes occur because the transformational leader offers followers something more than just working for self- gain; they provide followers with an inspiring mission and vision and give them an identity. The leader transforms and motivates followers through his or her idealized influence or (charisma), intellectual stimulation and individual consideration. In addition, this leader encourages followers to come up with new and unique ways to challenge the status quo and to alter the environment…
Transformational leadership is a topic which I find very interesting; and, is also relevant to my professional field and the pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Given the current business climate, it is imperative that organizational leaders have an idea of where they want to take the company, be able to influence others to buy into the idea, and take the actions necessary to achieve the goals that are set for the organization.…
