Challenges Facing Transformational Leaders: Service and Technology

In the present day, organizations incessantly experience and go through rapid technological changes, decreasing product life cycles, globalization, international global economic setting and also the extensive accessibility to information. As a result, in order for these organizations to continue surviving and being relevant in the market, there is a great need of going after new trends, increasing organizational growth and also being innovative than previously before. This is particularly the case with the technological and service sectors where there is constant change in invention and also preferences from the consumers. Transformational leadership is a substantial approach to motivate supporters beyond prospects and let out the creativity within them. This indicates the importance of transformational leadership in the technological and service sectors as it is the quintessence of generating and sustaining a competitive edge over rivals. Nevertheless, it is imperative to note these…...

Community Association Managers as Transformational Leaders
In the last half-century, the real estate sector of America has transformed from a founder-based, local, cottage industry into a nationwide and worldwide team-based service solutions and asset provider. The sector has progressed from vying for money to vying for talent, from gathering of data to knowledgeable counseling, from individual names to lines of businesses, and from opportunistic growth to sustainable development. Further, it has undergone a move from self-regard to collaboration and from a focus on share in the market to buyer share. The industry, which comprises of entrepreneurs, opportunists, value creators, risk managers, and leaders, is a connection to the past as well as a forerunner of future events.

Consequently, community challenges are becoming increasingly frequent, intense, and complex, and necessitate effective practical leadership that can address complex issues. Arguably, the search for effective community leadership is the biggest challenge a community association manager…...

Introduction
My leadership quiz highlights my leadership style as transformational. In the quiz, it was found that I have the following strengths: self-confidence, positive attitude, emotional intelligence, compelling vision, ability to motivate people, and being a good role model. This paper will examine these traits, and my weaknesses, against the strengths and weaknesses of the prototypical transformational leader, and seek to establish ways in which I can deal with my weaknesses in order to make myself a better leader.

Strengths of Transformational Leaders

Y Culture is a consulting firm that has written about transformational leadership. Y Culture (2018) notes that among the characteristics of transformational leaders are self-management, ability to take risks, the ability to make difficult decisions, inspirational, adaptability, proactive nature and leadership with vision.

When we look at these strengths versus my own, there are definitely some synergies. First is vision – a transformational leader must have vision for the future, something…...

Organizational Case Study eview
The problems that are occurring at the Centerville Public Health Clinic (CPHC) run very deep and there are substantial issues that need to be addressed to correct the organizational behavior that is causing unnecessary distress and becoming a distraction to the essence of health care and healing. As the Administrator of this clinic I have decided that there needs to be a somewhat drastic shift of attitude towards the quality of work being performed at this clinic.

The root issue of the problem deals with an overall disapproval of the collective job performance of the clinic as a whole. The recent problems dealing with absenteeism suggest that the issue at hand deals with the attitude that work is not fulfilling and the only reason why we come to the clinic is to receive a monetary reward. This understanding of the health care industry is problematic; however there are…...

Dimensions of Culture Questionnaire" has managed to reflect on my leadership philosophy that asserts leadership as a journey consisting of leaders and followers. Answering the questions, I realized that my philosophy should be more in the lines of helping people find the best in themselves, which can be achieved by reflecting more of my leadership and its implications for others. As a leader, I need always to understand my role in leading employees in a direction that enables shareholders to meet organizational goals and objectives. I was surprised by the issue of power distance where I managed to score a mean score of 3.01, which shows a lower power distance on cultural values. From the results, other cultures may influence my culture partly because democracy has replaced authoritarianism in the community. Moreover, democratization, internationalization, and media liberalization are some of the factors that have contributed to the change in society.…...

Transformational Leadership
The transformational leader engages with others in such a way that the leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality. In transformational leadership, it is important that the leader should address the true needs of the followers, and lead followers towards fulfillment of those needs. Transformational leadership consists of seven components according to Carless A, et al. (2000): Vision, taff Development, upportive Leadership, Empowerment, Innovative Thinking, Lead by Example and Charisma. trong support for the value of transformational leadership suggests that it leads to a sense of collective identity, results in enhanced sense of reverence, and develops trust and satisfaction with the leader. tudies have also shown that transformational leaders significantly energized followers and enhanced their motivation, morality and empowerment.

Richard Branson's Leadership Style: Transformational Leadership
Sir Richard Branson has proven to be a transformational leader in the airline industry. The edgy, unpredictable and youthful image of Virgin has garnered the company a kind of a 'cult following,' despite increasingly fickle consumer tastes. There have been a number of disasters, however, partially generated by Branson's shoot-from-the-hip style. Bucking conventional wisdom, Branson held onto underperforming Virgin stores and unsuccessfully tried to challenge Apple's iPod with a Virgin MP3 player. However, Branson's willingness to stay true to what he believes is right is what makes him so inspiring. He has crafted a unique image for his company, with a distinct ethos that has a clear system of values. This is exemplified in Branson's promote-from-within strategy and an emphasis on hiring people because of their personal qualities, rather than specific experiences. Branson's positive and forward-thinking attitude is reflected in the people he chooses to…...

hile the case study approach would have allowed Gubman to interview employees on their degree of loyalty, one is left to
wonder whether a few selective interviews, which would be in line with the
case study format, would allow Gubman to make any generalizations about a
company with thousands of employees, like Motorola.
Stephen Denning (2005) also attempts to measure the effects of
transformational leadership through a case study approach of IBM's e-
business strategy in the 1990s. Denning demonstrates how the idea of
Internet business actually originated from a low-level IBM engineer, who
was able to get access to and convince corporate leadership, including CEO
Lou Gerstner. Company management eventually supported the idea and launched
what became a multi-billion-dollar business unit.
Denning (2005) is able to demonstrate various components of
transformational leadership in his research. For example, he demonstrates a
vision that originated from employees and was eventually disseminated by
management -- a practice encouraged by Burns and Bass. The vision was

Transformational leadership: Self-assessment

I have never been assigned the task of leading a large organization. However, when I have been given the task of exercising leadership within a specific context, I have tried to lead with a vision. Even when I have simply directed volunteers at mundane tasks, such as during a food drive, I have tried to stress the larger importance of why we are doing what we are doing, rather than simply focus upon minutia. I have also tried to take an interest in subordinates on a personal level. Although I have not had the ability to specifically select subordinates for development and training as leaders themselves, because of the limits of my own position, I try to delegate tasks in an individualized fashion. I like to see workers perform to the best of their abilities and praise them when tasks are completed successfully, to give them…...

Transformational Women's Leadership
The website for Changing Minds.org describes transformational leadership in the standard way, as charismatic leaders with vision and imagination who inspire followers to achieve radical change in an organization or society. Transformational leaders are passionate and exciting and they care about their followers. They make people believe that their ideals can be achieved through their own commitment, enthusiasm and drive. In the process, their followers are also transformed and empowered to do things that they would never have believed possible. This website also points out some of the dangers of transformational leadership in that when such leaders are wrong they can lead "the charge right over the cliff and into a bottomless chasm." They may also "wear out" their followers with constant demands for high energy and commitment, especially if those at the lower levels really do not desire change (Transformational Leadership 2002-11)

Leadership Styles:
Charismatic vs. servant leadership

The career of General Colin Powell is by any measure an extraordinary one. Powell was the first African-American Secretary of State and a much-talked about candidate for the presidency in his own right. From the very beginning of his career, Powell eluded conventional definitions of what it means to be black in American politics and created a unique brand of charismatic leadership. Powell self-identified as a Republican but was unafraid to be an advocate for a different point-of-view when debates about the Iraq War raged within in the administration of George ush. Powell saw the involvement of the U.S. In Iraq as a flagrant contradiction of the principles he had learned while serving in Vietnam, which was to have a clear goal for an intervention; to use military force in a rapid fashion; and also to establish the support of the American people for the…...

This study will attempt to identify which leadership style is best suited for organizational innovation and success. There are a large range of factors to be considered. Among them, leadership style has been recognized as one of the most important of the various considerations. Leadership style correlates to positive transformation as well as influences organizational innovation and often diffusion of innovation. A few studies have empirically examined and found the links between leadership style and innovation at the organizational level and even connection between style of diffusion of innovation and success. Leadership style has been traditionally emphasized as the most important individual influences on organizational innovation (Goldsmith, Baldoni and McArthur,…...

There are several different types of army leadership styles that can produce the desired results among the armed forces.  Leadership in the army differs a little from leadership in other scenarios because some type of followership is built into the armed forces. The main leadership styles that you are likely to encounter in the army are transactional, transformational, servant, and autocratic. 

Transactional leadership is the type of leadership one most often encounters in the military.  It is based in structure and relies strongly on both rewards and penalties.  Rather than collaborating with subordinates, the transactional leader....
