 Drawbacks of Transformational leadership

• Influence Can Backfire

If the leader is a risk-taker who will make decisions that are not well thought and can result to something negative,
chances are, the subordinates will be the ones to be put in line.
• Assumption of Motivation
This leadership style tries to let subordinates and followers feel that they have common goals that need to be
accomplished.
• Prioritization
When it comes to encouraging team members, transformational leaders have the tendency to coach and mentor only
selected groups of individuals.
• Unidirectional Influence
In organizations where transformational leadership style is practiced, the only one that is benefitting is the organization
itself and yet it appears that employees and the organization have the same vision.
