All three articles focus on transformational leadership and one article includes transactional leadership. Wright and Pandey (2010) focused on transformational leadership in the public sector. The authors suggest the organizational structure in the public sector is not as bureaucratic as expected and transformational leadership is as common and as effective as in private organizations. While previous research suggests human resource functions in the public sector are more bureaucratic, the authors propose this research is not definitive on whether this level of bureaucracy hinders the effectiveness of transformational leadership.…

There has been a tremendous focus within the media in the past decade about the ethics of leadership within corporations.

The book The Heart of Change shows the practical side of the theories that are taught in the course textbook. It presents stories of successes and failures based in the application of concepts discussed in Organizational Behavior and Management and in class. Although we talked about several different concepts the ones that are evident in the examples in The Heart Of Change are the more progressive and individual centered approaches. The leadership characteristics that are important to successful change in an organization are those that are espoused in the transformational theory of management. It makes sense that ideals in line with the transformational management theory would be evident in a book about how to bring about positive change in an organization.…
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…

Comparison shows the characteristic of three studies conducted by different researchers. In the public sector, transformational leadership is the first study. This type of leadership has no effect on the conduct of managers. Transformational leadership is to stimulate the needs of the subordinates in harmony with the goals of the leader. Morale, motivation, and performance of the individuals within the group are increased by this style of leadership…
Leadership “is a process where an individual influences a group of people to achieve a common purpose” (Northhouse, 2010). Being a leader is one of the most important skills one is either born with or acquires through mentorship or experience. A transformational leader who acts as a role model can influence patients, staffs, and make them accountable for their own practice, work achievement and staff development (McNaron, 2009).

This may be due to the extra effort they put in as a result of their commitment to the leader, the sense of purpose or mission that drives them or their high levels of intrinsic motivation. In a research carried out by Carless (2000), it was found that followers of transformational leaders tend to be more productive and satisfied workers than followers of transactional…
