- What is the difference between transformational and transnactional leadership? Who developed the concepts?
The concept of Transformational and Transactional leadership developed the Bernard M.Bass in 1985 and 1990. He provide three ways in which a leader changes his or her followers:
- Making the followers realize the importance of the task;
- Stimulating the followers to concentrate on the goals of the organization and the team;
- Activating in the followers the ambition for a higher office.
Transformational Leadership
A transformational leader goes beyond managing day-to-day operations and crafts strategies for taking his company, department or work team to the next level of performance and success. Transformational leadership styles focus on team building, motivation and collaboration with employees at different levels of an organization to accomplish change for the better. Transformational leaders set goals and incentives to push their subordinates to higher performance levels, while providing opportunities for personal and professional growth for each employee.
Transactional Leadership
Transactional leadership styles are more concerned with maintaining the normal flow of operations. Transactional leadership can be described as "keeping the ship afloat." Transactional leaders use disciplinary power and an array of incentives to motivate employees to perform at their best. The term "transactional" refers to the fact that this type of leader essentially motivates subordinates by exchanging rewards for performance.
A transactional leader generally does not look ahead in strategically guiding an organization to a position of market leadership; instead, these managers are solely concerned with making sure everything flows smoothly today.
I think that company should include all these two types of leader , they complement each other what provides the great possibility for company to quickly achieve their goals and make the company more efficient and profitable.
