He or she uses the unique interests and needs of every member of the work group to inspire goal-directed behavior that is consistent and efficient. To influence and induce others to strive toward a goal, a leader must have a deep vision of that goal and the ability to communicate the goal effectively to the group. The knowledge, insight, and skill of the leader are greater than those of other members of the group. A leader achieves the work by coordinating the work of the group. He or she is enthusiastic and self-confident and inspires confidence through both emotional and knowledge ties with his or her group. One of the major factors that characterize a successful leader is the willing acceptance of that leadership by his or her…
Good leadership demands good people-motivation skills and the use of inspirational techniques.

The three articles all analyze the ways that successful leaders motivate employees. Their authors agree that employees’ inspiration is important to achieve the mission of a company. Useem points out that ‘small actions make indelible impressions.’ (p.3). The author exemplifies a real story from a U.S. general who was leading 92,000 troops in a war. Before the war, this general tried to meet and shake hands with many of them in order to inspire them and let the troops know that he cared about them (p.3).

Transformational leadership has the ability to generate a higher commitment to the company from its’ employees. I believe that Sam Walton, the Founder of Walmart had this ability. “Walmart as we know it today evolved from Sam Walton’s goals for great value and great customer service. “Mr. Sam,” as he was known, believed in leadership through service. This belief that true leadership depends on willing service was the principle on which Walmart was built, and drove the decisions the company has made for the past 50 years. So much of Walmart’s history is tied to the story of Sam Walton himself, and so much of our future will be rooted in Mr. Sam’s principles” (Walmart, 2012).

Sam Walton made sure that from the time that you walked in the door that you had great customer service experience. Not only will it make the customer feel welcomed, but it will also help repeat business. To obtain this type of customer service level, the leader behind the scenes needs to create “buy ‘in” from their employees. The employees need to believe in what they are doing and understand the…
