7. WHAT IS
TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADERSHIP
“Transformational leadership is
a type of leadership style that
leads to positive changes in
those who follow.” —
psychology.about.com
Transformational leadership is a style of leadership where a
leader works with subordinates to identify needed change,
creating a vision to guide the change through inspiration,
and executing the change in tandem with committed
members of a group
In the simplest terms, transformational leadership
is a process that changes and transforms
individuals (Northouse, 2001).
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.

8. APPLYING TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADERSHIP

Effective transformational leader is a process. According to Northouse (2001), a
transformational leader has the following qualities:

Is a strong role model with high values;
Listens to all viewpoints to develop a spirit of cooperation;
Creates a vision, using people in the party/country/organization;

what kind of leadership? Transformational leaders are increasingly in
demand due to
Globalisation
Transformation in economy and society
Serious challenges to reform institutions, break
embedded practices

A form of leadership well-suited to these current
times characterized by uncertainty, global turbulence
and organizational instability.

Influence
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.
The degree to which the
leader attends to each
follower's needs, acts as
a mentor or coach to the
follower and listens to the
follower's concerns and needs.
Such leaders encourage
their followers to be
innovative and creative. The
leaders focus on the “what”
in problems and do not
focus on the blaming part of
it.
The degree to which the leader
articulates a vision that is
appealing and inspiring to
followers. Purpose and meaning
provide the energy that drives a
group forward.
The degree to which the
leader acts as a role model for
their followers. The
foundation of
transformational leadership is
the promotion of consistent
vision, mission, and a set of
values to the members

13. THE DARK SIDE OF
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
In fact, the greatest mass murderers were
transformational leaders.
Mao Tse Dung
Joseph Stalin

Pol Pot.
This is an important point to understand
about transformational leadership —
sometimes these leaders do not always
make things better — sometimes they
can make things worse. Progress is not
assured. (The Economist: The Idea of
Progress).

16. DEFINITION, SCALE AND
TYPES OF CORRUPTION
DEFINITION, SCALE AND
TYPES OF CORRUPTION
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.

17. WHAT IS CORRUPTION?
“the abuse of entrusted
power for private gain”
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.

18. CORRUPTION CONTEXTUALIZED
Definitions applied to corruption vary from country to country in
accordance with cultural, legal or other factors and the nature of the
problem as it appears in each country.
Concepts may also vary from one time period to another, particularly
in recent decades, which have seen much thinking and theorizing
about corruption.
Thus corruption should be understood as a collection of
phenomena.
It then follows that understanding corruption requires an
understanding not only of the individual phenomena, but also how
they are related, and that such a general understanding is critical to
developing effective control strategies.
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.

19. TYPES OF CORRUPTION
Petty Corruption
Grand Corruption
Systemic: (or endemic corruption) is corruption
which is primarily due to the weaknesses of an
organization or process. Factors which encourage
systemic corruption include conflicting
incentives, discretionary powers; monopolistic
powers; lack of transparency; low pay; and a culture
of impunity.
“Active” and “passive” corruption:In discussions of
transactional offences such as bribery, "active
bribery" usually refers to the offering or paying of
the bribe, while "passive bribery” refers to the
receiving of the bribe.
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.
 Bribery
 Embezzlement, theft and fraud
 Extortion
 Abuse of discretion
 Favouritism, nepotism and
clientelism

22. A SYSTEMIC VIEW OF CORRUPTION
If you take the systemic approach to anti corruption, then
Leadership plays a critical role
In transformation societies, the struggle against corruption must
be understood as part and parcel of the larger challenge of building
the political, legal and moral order necessary to satisfy the needs
of a complex economy and pluralist society.
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.

23. ETHICS AND TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADERSHIP
The Ethics of Leadership rests
upon three pillars:
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.
The moral character of
the leader,
The ethical values
embedded in the leader’s
vision, articulation, and
program which followers
either embrace or reject,
The morality of the
processes of social ethical
choice and action that leaders
and followers engage in and
collectively pursue.
When transformational
leadership is authentic, it is
characterized by high moral
and ethical standards in each
of the above dimensions.

24. CRUCIAL POINTS
The role of leadership has been recognized by Bob Klitgaard, a renowned expert
on anti-corruption
Systemic elements of an Anti corruption Strategy
Strong leaders with moral character central to effective and sustainable
implementation of anti-corruption initiatives.
Therefore,
Effective Leadership [Transformational] is crucial not only for the reforming
process in public administration, but also for high standard functions of public
administration and nation.
The transformational leader’s characters such as confidence, empowerment,
vision span; and good behavior – modest life, shared vision, and being a change
agent, make him/her fit in addressing the issues and concerns corruption.
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.

25. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS IN
THE PUBLIC SECTOR
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.
Trust in leadership is high as people
see in the leader the elements of good
governance such as accountability,
predictability, transparency, rule of
law and participation.
Transformational Leaders play a vital
role in reforming public administration
whether it is in institutions, mindsets,
leadership, or engaging the citizens.

and coach to the people around you. You possess emotional intelligence.
3. Innovating You are a change agent and encourage others to be the same. You nurture
and develop people who think independently and encourage risk taking and learning in the
organization.
4. Inspiring You instill trust. You role model integrity and ethical behavior. People
understand your values and you walk the talk.
FRANCIS STEVENS GEORGE: 20/7/2016. OSLO,NORWAY.

29. RELEVANCE
A country’s legal system—its laws and
regulations as well as the processes and
institutions through which they are
applied—is vital for addressing corruption,
just as it is for resolving civil conflicts,
enforcing property rights, and defining the
limits of state power.
Judicial reform. Enforcement of anti-
corruption legislation requires an efficient,
predictable, and accountable judiciary.
Reform and modernization of judicial
systems, however, is a relatively new are in
development.
Recent judicial reform programs supported
by the World Bank in Africa and Latin
America, have focused on judicial
independence (including the proper criteria
for the selection and removal of judges, pay
scales, training and judicial ethics);
improved court administration and case
flow management; procedural reform,
including reducing ex parte communication
between judges and litigants; better access
to justice (through small claims courts,
alternative dispute resolution, and legal
aid); and legal education and bar entrance
requirements. USAID

31. CONCLUSION-TAKE AWAY
The struggle against corruption must be understood as part and parcel of
the larger challenge of building the political, legal and moral order
necessary to satisfy the needs of a complex economy and pluralist society
(Transforming Societies)
An independent and well functioning judiciary is crucial to this struggle.
Judicial excellence becomes a must-ensuring that the judiciary performs
to their highest level, with educational programs and other tools that
enable them to perform at their highest level.
Then Leadership becomes critical.
What type of leadership is most suited
Transformationl has been widely agreed as necessary in “transforming
societies”
