born not made

not born.

to respond appropriately when confronted with various
situations.

style is correct as a stand alone. The leadership style used
is contingent on factors such as the situation

require the leader to adapt to that particular situation

best type of leadership style exists

predetermined goals and objectives while punishing those that
fail to do so.

more important than treatment of employees
TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY

• Increasing the interest of the staff to achieve higher

performance and developing and revealing the commitment
and beliefs in the organization
• The transformational leader focuses on taking care of the
employee supporting the assumption that if the employee is
treated well, feels of value to the organization and feels to be a
part of the team then he or she will be more likely to produce
desired results.
