The ability to guide and direct a group, department or entire organization is predicated on being able to balance task and relationship orientation through transformational leadership. The most effective leaders balance short-term transactional strategies for getting immediate results with transformational leadership skills, intermediating between each using emotional intelligence (EI) to guide their decision making (Ivey, Kline, 2010). The foundational elements of transformational leadership include individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation (Ismail, Mohamed, Sulaiman, Mohamad, Yusuf, 2011) and idealized influence. Transformational leaders are able to use situational awareness and EI to selectively apply each of these approaches at the most opportune time to get the best results (Ivey, Kline, 2010). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate how these techniques...
I received a score of 38 on Type A and 46 on Type B, indicating my tendency to look more at the entire person in a position and what their needs are first, then consider how we can accomplish tasks together. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate these scores in the context of transformational leadership.
Analysis Of Scores
The most effective leaders are capable of balancing task and relationship orientations, frequently using EI to delineate when each is most needed. From personal experience, this leads me to believe that no single orientation, task or relationship, is best overall. Rather, it is the ability to successfully interpret a situation and quickly respond with the best possible leadership response. From personal experience, I have found the most effective leaders to blend these two aspects successfully and gain trust by being transparent…

For example a monitoring surveillance strategy could tell a nation that they need more heart specialists and possibly an entire medical clinic dedicated to heart disease to treat both their aging population and the emergencies more elderly visitors to their nation experience. Conversely an evaluation strategy of surveillance would look at the processes in use throughout the emergency room and see which are performing well, which aren't and what can be done to make the processes
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.

Leadership, according to La Monica (1938), is when a person has authority that is recognized by others, and the person has followers/subordinates under them, who believe that the person will assist them in attaining certain goals (carrying out specific objectives for the followers). Furthermore, anyone that is willing to assist and help others could be referred to as a leader (p.8) Leaders see what others do not Most leaders have
Leadership Application Effective leadership has a big role to play when it comes to the life and success of any organization. Leadership normally transforms what is potential into a reality. Leadership is therefore the successful act that brings success to all of the potent potential that is in an organization as well as its people.

It has been suggested further that the transformational leadership is a special type of transactional leadership because both leaderships are goal oriented. The difference comes from the way methods used to motivate people and the goal sets (Hater & Bass, 1988). Thus, one model is based on the leader's power to inspire followers and the other is based on the leader's creativity regarding the reward system. The goals are
The benefits of high-quality relationships come from relational resources (Wright, et al. 2005) they create. Such resources include durable obligations (e.g., arising from feelings of gratitude, respect, and friendship), network contacts and connections (including privileged access to information and opportunities, social status, and reputation of influential others), and the ability to have open information exchanges with those around them (Valle & Halling, 1989). Relationships that do not develop so well are
