God as Transactional Leader

Replies to Matthew and Erreka

Matthew

While it is true that transactional leadership effectiveness may falter when the money supplied for bonuses runs out and employees leave, I would argue that transactional leaders can build strong relationships with their employees, communicate clear expectations and provide regular feedback, and create a sense of accountability and responsibility for achieving organizational goals (Lee & Ding, 2020). Additionally, some employees may be motivated by factors other than money, such as recognition, promotion, or a sense of accomplishment (Manzoor et al., 2021).

Regarding the example of George Washington as a transformational leader in the American Revolutionary War, it is important to note that religious beliefs and Christian morals were not the only factors that motivated the Continental Army. The desire for independence, the defense of their homes and families, and a sense of patriotism were also important drivers of their loyalty and commitment. Overall, we should keep this in mind: Proverbs 29:4 states, \"By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.\"
