Transformational Leadership
Transforming Leadership
Appeals to the moral values of
followers to raise their consciousness
Transactional Leadership
Appealing their self-interest and
exchanging benefits.
May involve values relevant to the
exchange process – honesty, fairness &
responsibility
VsBurns (1978)
Burns also identified a third form of leadership influence based on legitimate authority and respect for rules and tradition.
Bureaucratic organization emphasize this form of influence more than influence based on exchange or inspiration.
• Bass (1985), transformational leader motivates followers by:
1)making them more aware of the importance of task outcome2) inducing them to transcend their own self-interest for the sake of the organization or team3) activating their higher-order needs
Followers feel trust, admiration, loyalty and respect toward the leader, they are motivated to do more than expected.
•Transactional leadership involves an exchange process that may results in follower compliance with leader requests but is not likely to generate enthusiasm and commitment.
