Leadership Style - Transformational

The transformational leadership style shares some characteristics with the charismatic style. Those shared characteristics include:

• Providing a sense of mission or purpose
• Powerfully articulating the vision
• Projecting confidence

Transformational leaders add a dimension in that they are both vision and follower-oriented. Not only does the transformational leader want to achieve the vision, they want followers to become better, happier people on the journey toward the vision.

Leadership Tips

Transformational leaders are most effective when the vision is clear. In uncertain or chaotic times, when the vision is murky, the transformational leader may need to bide time until a vision emerges from the chaos.

Transformational leaders who appreciate and enlist contextual leaders to help put systems and processes in place will have greater success in building a lasting organziation.
