Together with your understanding of the various theories learned from Chapter 10 of the prescribed textbook and session: Discuss which leadership theory do you like and consider is most appropriate to today’s workplaces? Why?
Transformational leadership: It stimulates curiosity
that challenges the status quo as well as enhances innovation in the workplace.
(Jiang, Y., & Chen, C. C., 2018).
Leaders who adopt a transformational leadership
approach can create a compelling vision, communicate effectively, and inspire
their team members to exceed their own self-interests for the greater good of
the organisation. They are visionaries who articulate a clear and inspiring
vision for the future. Inspires and motivate their followers by setting high
expectations and demonstrating enthusiasm and optimism. Encourages creativity,
innovation, and critical thinking. Promotes intellectual curiosity, and foster
an environment where individuals feel comfortable questioning assumptions and
exploring new ideas. They provide support, mentorship, and personalized
attention to help individuals develop their skills and reach their full
potential.
In a society of today, we need more transformational
leaders to lead the way. After COVID 19 pandemic, the world need inspiration, a
core culture to boost workplace learnings. In an era where ethical concerns and
corporate social responsibility are increasingly important, transformational
leadership can contribute to building trust and maintaining a positive
organisational culture. Transformational leaders inspire the uninspired.
With a diverse cultural work force, especially here in
Australia, I believe transformational leadership is the key and the most
appropriate leadership in today’s workplace. With today’s competitive and fast
changing environment, internal team knowledge sharing leads to innovation.
(Jiang, Y., & Chen, C. C., 2018).
In today’s rapidly changing business environment,
organisations need leaders who can adapt to new challenges and inspire their
team to do the same. Transformational leaders excel at managing change,
embracing innovation, and navigating uncertainty.
The economy we have now are more knowledge-based
economy, innovation and creativity are critical for organisation to stay
competitive. Transformational leaders encourage their team members to think
outside the box, challenge the assumptions, and explore new ideas. By creating
an environment that supports and rewards innovation, transformational leaders
can unleash the creative potential of their teams.
In an era where ethical concerns and corporate social responsibility are increasingly important, transformational leaders can set the tone for ethical behaviour and decision-making. They lead by example, promote transparency, and prioritize values-driven actions. These fosters trust and integrity within the organisation, enhancing its reputation and sustainability.
