4. Transformational Leadership
“Recognizes and exploits the existing need or demand of a potential follower….looks for potential motives in followers, seeks to satisfy higher needs, and engages the full person of the follower.”
Converts followers into leaders and leaders into moral agents

5. Cont.
Visionary
Accurately assess and provide a mission and goals to respond to follower’s needs
Never leave matters as they find them
Change is the rule, not the exception
Less concerned with how to achieve an end than the purpose of the mission

6. Empowering processes
Each of the following is approached differently by leaders vs. managers:
Providing Direction
Stimulating followers and Subordinates
Rewarding Followers and Subordinates
Developing Followers and Subordinates
Appealing to Followers and Subordinate Needs

7. Need both! People can grow and develop with either one or both
Leaders need managers to help reach goals
Managers need leaders to help articulate goal and direction
The key is flexibility – some situations will require one over the other
