CrackingThe “Transformational Leadership” Code
Inspiring and Empowering your team for greatness
Rather than simply getting better at what
they already do, TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADERS balance courage and humility in
order to grow and develop everyday.
Harvard Business Review
At its most basic level, leadership is all about getting people
(followers) to move in the direction you indicate in pursuit of shared
goals and objectives.
Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the
hierarchy of an organisation.
At its most advanced level, leadership is all about being
transformational.
The transformational leadership style inspires workers to embrace
change by fostering a company culture of accountability, ownership,
and workplace autonomy.
But how do we define transformational leadership?
Transformational leadership is an approach in which a leader inspires and
motivates team members to create positive changes within an organisation.
This leadership style can increase group morale, lead to rapid innovation,
improve conflict resolution, decrease turnover and foster a sense of ownership
amongst a team.
The primary goals of transformational leadership are to inspire growth,
promote loyalty, and instill confidence in group members.
What transformational
Leadership is!
A transformational leader drives innovation and inspires new ways
of thinking, harnessing a team’s creativity to respond to change.
The more you know about transformational leadership, the better
prepared you’ll be to lead in today’s dynamic business
environment.
The first step is to understand what makes this leadership style
unique and what transformational leadership characteristics you’ll
need to develop to make a difference.
While
Transformational
Leadership
Vs
Transactional
Leadership
Transactional leadership is the exact opposite of transformational
leadership — it relies on motivating employees through rewards and
punishments. It requires supervision, oversight, and performance-
monitoring.This leadership model doesn’t try to innovate. Instead, it’s
rooted in keeping things consistent and predictable over time.
Transformational leadership, on the other hand, supports agile
environments, especially where failure carries less risk.Transformational
leadership leaves people free to come up with new ideas and look at the
future of products, services and ideas.
This approach can increase a team’s intrinsic motivation by expressing the
value and purpose behind the organisation’s goals.
The 4 I’s ofTransfromational Leadership
Idealised influence
Inspirational
motivation
Intellectual
stimulation
Individualised
consideration
Transformational leaders who
show Idealised Influence are
role models for their followers
because they engage in high
standards of ethical behavior.
Their moral conduct earns a
necessary level of respect and
trust.
Transformational leaders are
able to articulate a unified
vision that encourages team
members to exceed
expectations.
Leaders who use inspirational
motivation have high
standards and expectation for
their followers and are not
afraid to challenge
employees.
Transformational leaders
regularly challenge
assumptions, take risks and
solicit team members’ input
and ideas.
The leader support and
collaborates with the
followers as they try new
approaches and develop
innovative ways of dealing
with organisational issues.
Transformational leaders
operate from the
understanding that what
motivates one person may
not motivate someone else.
This leader listens to the
concerns and needs of each
follower and provides support
and is empathic of each
person’ situation and
background.

Leaders cannot simply sit around and wait for change to happen. Rather, they make
proactive decisions and bold choices that can set the tone for others to follow.
Good transformational leaders understand changing business dynamics and are
always finding innovative ways to stay ahead of the curve.
They’re unafraid to alter traditional approaches that have worked in the past as they
look toward the future.

Remaining open to new ideas and fresh perspectives is an important aspect of
transformational leadership. Rather than jumping to conclusions, you must regularly
gather feedback and ideas from a range of sources before making strategic decisions.
Transformational leaders are constantly open to innovation wherever it may arise.They
constantly look for opportunities to do things differently and are always open to new
ideas, no matter where those ideas may present themselves.

03
Transformational leadership often involves shifting people’s views on how things
should work.To do so, it’s necessary to understand the rationale behind people’s
current mindsets and how to shift their thinking.
The transformational leader needs to understand where people are coming from and
convince them to step outside of their comfort zone.
This requires two separate skills: empathy and the ability to inspire confidence.
Be willing to broaden your mind and of others

04
It’s not enough for transformational leaders to request or even inspire ideas. They
also need to make their colleagues and team members feel bold enough to share
those ideas.
Transformational leaders hear ideas with an open mind and respond without
judgment or finality. They commit to employing active listening techniques so that
their team members feel seen, understood and respected.

05
No leader inspires confidence if they demand that others take the fall when an
idea fails.
Transformational leaders must assume responsibility for each of their
decisions, including green lighting the ideas of others.
Transformational leaders take little issue with admitting they don’t have all the
answers. While they can remain confident in their goals and abilities, they’re
also able to keep their egos in check and do what’s right for their team or
organisation.

06
People need autonomy to develop and shape new ideas.
A transformational leader must understands this and trusts team members to
define their own steps to success.
To gain their trust in your ability to lead, you must appeal to the values of your
team members. Keep the purpose fresh in their minds by connecting it to goals,
talking about it often and finding ways everyone can meaningfully contribute to
it.
Trust in your Team members

07
transformational leader needs to expect creativity from everyone not just one or two
“idea people.”The leader’s job is to model universal creativity and innovation.
There needs to be an established expectation that everyone including the leader will
think outside the box, recognising thoughts and ideas, even when they don’t
generate paradigm-shifting results.
Transformational leaders create transformational teams where everyone is an idea
person.
Be willing to inspire others
So what are some typical signs of a transformational leader?
Common characteristics of transformational leaders include:
 Adaptability
 Authenticity and genuineness
 Creativity
 Emotionally intelligent
 Inspirational
 Self-awareness
 Supportive
OtherTraits of a
Transformational
leadership

a number of key traits.
Conclusion

you are familiar with its principles.You can respond to the questions "What is
transformational leadership?" and "Why is it effective?" Even now, you might
