Personal Experience:
Combining Transformational and Charismatic Leadership Styles
I would like to relate the experience of being a Lead Instructor during my college career. The background for this position stems from an unguided evolution from interested student, to job-seeker, to funded graduate student. Additionally, the experience was not one that I initially sought. I did not want to be a lead instructor, or lead of anything. It just "happened." Snapshot: I was in my twenties when I was completing my Bachelors degree. The BA studies ended where the Masters studies began. As such, my familiarity with several faculty members from different departments grew. My...
I was offered a position as a Lead Instructor for undergraduate classes. On reflection, I can see that different factors came into play that influenced this course of events. 1) I was a motivated student; 2) My work was exemplary; 3) I had an intuitive style for dealing with different peoples of varying backgrounds; 4) Students that I taught were inspired and motivated, and said so; 5) Scheduling and project management came naturally to me; 6) I had a sincere desire to teach, and do it well; 7) I could relate directly with the students in my courses; 8) I was accessible, flexible, and courteous to students and faculty alike. While these factors are not exhaustive, they do point to a leadership style that incorporates elements of transformational leaders and charismatic leaders, which to my great surprise, I seemed to possess. I motivated people; they believed in themselves and hence produced good works. Some even changed their majors entirely to follow the discipline I taught within. The outcome of this early experience shaped my life forever. Not only did it lead to a Master Instructor position at a top university, but following on the heels of that, I was offered a scholarship for a doctorate program at one of the best universities in the nation, along with a teaching job. I accepted all these opportunities, and am grateful that I was able to hone my leadership skills and learn how to motivate people, manage projects, and produce good outcomes.

Given the emergent challenges of the modern day society -- such as more and more pretensions customers, the incremental competition or the growing pressures towards environmental stability -- organizations are presented with the necessity of continually evolving and adapting to new requirements. Transformational leadership can support this dynamic organizational life by sustaining and promoting both creativity as well as innovation (Sarros, Cooper and Santora, 2008; Williams). Transformational leadership is a
Leadership of Dick Smith Leadership has always been at the forefront of business studies; leaders are always (or should always be) concerned with how they can stimulate the best performance in the workforce in order to gain the best results and stability for their business. Among the various types of leadership, transformational leadership includes actions that are charismatic, visionary, and inspirational. These actions inspire followers to deliver not only their best,
Transformational Leader Transformational and charismatic leadership has increasingly been shown to be valuable for organisations, especially with respect to empowering employees. Generally, transformational and charismatic leaders inspire and motivate their followers to achieve their maximum potential. They work together with their followers to formulate and execute the organisation’s vision, strategy, goals, and objectives. Transformational and charismatic leaders achieve this by communicating effectively as well as eliciting positive emotions and citizenship behaviours
Motivation Through Leadership: Leadership of Herb KelleherHerb Kelleher was the co-founder and former CEO of Southwest Airlines. Southwest began as an upstart airline that soon began to rival the big market players. One big reason for its success was the servant-transformational-charismatic leadership style of Kelleher, who was known for what seemed like an unconventional but common-sense commitment to employees and his ability to create a strong corporate culture that fostered
Leadership Styles In many ways the United States offer the ideal case study for examining different leadership styles, because its particular process of election and governance presents opportunities for each leadership style to flourish. In short, while the election itself favors a charismatic leadership style, the success of the executive branch depends on a transformational leadership style, and the interactions between the executive and the legislature can only be characterized as
Leadership, Team Building & Communication Leadership theories continue to evolve as the complexity, nature and scope of organizations shift from command-and-control structures to more agile frameworks for managing change.
