Strengthening Others for Team Excellence
Overview of Concepts
The first concept is transformational leadership, which is rooted on the ability to inspire and motivate (Northouse, 2013; Abu-Tineh et al., 2009). First introduced by Max Weber in 1948 and broadened by Sir McGregor Burns in the 70s, it connects charisma and leadership. It is woven around the four key concepts or styles, or the four I's, namely, idealized influence, inspirational motivation, individual consideration, and intellectual stimulation. Idealized influence shapes a follower into a leader by making him live a leader's action each day. This is applied to all types of groups. Inspirational motivation commits a follower or member to the group's shared vision. This inspires followers to work harder and better in achieving or fulfilling that shared vision. A certain level or amount of charisma is required of the leader in order to create this influence. Individualized consideration is used by almost every organization to detect or teach and then entrench the skills of individual followers or members for success. Examples are coaching, mentoring, and advising. Their individual needs are identified and fulfilled for the welfare of the greater group. The objective is to discover these needs and use them as basis in teaching critical skills to members for the purpose of achieving the group vision. And intellectual stimulation encourages new thoughts and approaches to group issues and problems. Long-held convictions are challenged instead of rejected. The leader facilitates intellectual stimulation by demanding increasing performance and better results from followers each time. Members respond to this challenge and this demand by presenting innovative or creative solutions in surpassing expectations and competitors (Northhouse, Abu-Tineh et al.).
