23. Our Findings from this
paper
Respondents preferred to
work for those who exhibit
transformational leadership
style.
And also for those who
provide certain reward for their
performances.
24.
25. Under this style we believe each member of the
team has valuable contributions to make.
We must plan our strategy to empower each one of
them.
We should consider what will work for our
employees.
26. Rewarding our employees’ good ideas, and empower
them to develop those ideas.
Post photos of the employee of the month, or show an
employee that he is appreciated with a certificate,
written note and a gift card to a classy restaurant.
27. To include everyone, we can also combine the public
recognition with one-on-one coaching to those who can
improve with additional attention.
We should be sure to spread good feeling around
because if employees perceive that all the rewards are
going to a few, they may be resentful.
