Effective leadership
Leadership and culture
It has been proposed that there are two types of leaders:
Transactional leaders tend to be more passive. They see their relationship with
their followers in terms of a trade.
Transformational leaders more proactive. They see their role as inspiring and
motivating others to work at levels beyond mere compliance.
Only transformational leadership is said to be able to change team/organisational
cultures and move them in a new direction
Transformational leadership enhances the motivation, morale, and job performance
of followers.
The distinguishing feature of transformational leadership is the ability to bring about
significant change.
Note: The role of leadership and culture in managing change is discussed in further
detail in Chapter 24.
