Traditional approaches to leadership focus on Transactional leadership while, the more recent studies are now focusing on Transformational leadership style. Transactional leaders are those who motivate their followers by clarifying task requirements and work role. Transactional leadership style may be considered a common management style that involves a chain of command and defined structure where subordinates are expected to do what their supervisor tells them to do. Forms of motivation include rewards and punishments, such as bonuses or termination. Thus, transactional leaders clarify to their followers about what must be done in order to receive those rewards (either explicit or implicit).…

In Ethics, The Heart of Leadership, Michael Keeley argues against transformational leadership. He believes that the only to prevent harm done to the minorities by the majorities is “to keep majorities from uniting around a common interest – the reverse of what transformational leaders are supposed to do” (Ethics, 124). In general, I agree with Keeley. He attributes this idea to James Madison, although other scholars have disagreed about Madison’s true options. I will not enter the dispute about Madison’s ideas and opinions; that would be an exercise in history. Rather, I will discuss the content of the argument: whether transformational leadership harms minorities. Other issues, such as the effectiveness of transformational leadership and other ethical implications of the leadership types are beyond the scope of this paper and will not be discussed.…

Leadership, to me, is defined by the vision of the leader. It is strategic and comes from within. I feel leadership and management are not one in the same. A leader looks to instill values and to promote a vision. Their values are directed towards the team and the goal is to lead by example. A manager does need to possess at least some of the crucial leadership qualities; however, management can be learned whereas I don 't feel leadership can be taught.…
The advantages that I use from both path-goal and transformational leadership style can motivate, participate, friendly, ethical compliance, and influential. Also, involving the team members in the decision-making process, and be able to help my team to achieve the highest potential, as well as provide emotional support and guidance to complete tasks are the quality discovered.
