Key Leadership Attributes

What are the key attributes of the transformational style of leadership? Explain

why you think these attributes are required of a transformational leader.

“Transformational leaders focus on followers, motivating them to high levels of performance, and in the process, help followers develop their own leadership potential” (Ronald, 2009). There are several key component of the transformational styles: Idealized Influence, Inspirational motivation and Intellectual stimulation. There are more key components but for me the ones that I mentioned are the most important. A leader who idealized influence is the one that serves as an ideal role model for followers, the one who does the right thing and influence his followers. Inspirational motivation

is a leaders that have the ability to inspire his followers to do better and motivate them to be the best that they can be. Intellectual stimulation a leader who challenges his followers to be innovative and creative.

From either personal experience, or through observation, provide examples of
transformation leadership.

Some of my personal experience on transformation leadership happened a couple years ago. While I was working at Lee University, I had the opportunity to learn from a great leader. Every single day he used to challenge me to be a better person and employee. Sometimes I used to get mad because I thought he was putting me in situations that I was very uncountable and he knew it. So, one day I asked him, why you do to me? He says to me, the only way that you going to grow as a professional and as man is by being in uncountable situations. Since that day I never question him again.

Which of the other leaders who you have seen come close to being effective
transformational leaders? How could they have changed to be transformational
leaders? Justify your answer with appropriate examples.
When I was back in high school I had a coach to that came close to be a transformational leader. He was a good coach but he lacked one of the most important component to be a transformational leader, he lacked the inspirational motivation. He never figure out how to motivate his player to do better.
