Lesson 03: Transactional and Transformational Leadership
Revision Date: 31 July 2015
Student Handout 2
NAME:
Transactional and Transformational Leadership
According to the ROTC eBook “Leadership”:
“Transactional leadership assumes that people are motivated strictly by reward and
punishment. This style generally does not appeal to the values, morals, or other intrinsic
characteristics of most people. The transactional leader is highly focused on task, provides very
clear direction, and oversees productivity in detail. When a subordinate fails, the next step is a
penalty or punishment.”
“Transformational leadership grows out of the assumption that people will follow a leader who
inspires and motivates them. In this theory, the leader motivates and inspires by developing a
compelling vision, selling that vision, and focusing on developing relationships with followers as
a teacher, mentor, and coach. The transformational leader engages subordinates by spending a
great deal of time building trust and demonstrating a high level of personal integrity. The
ultimate goal-as the name says-is to transform followers' goals, vision, and sense of purpose,
molding them into a cohesive team. This type or style of leadership often focuses on the ‘big
picture’ and on concern for people and their individual needs.”
