them better propensity to be a leader.

characteristics that make them successful.

characteristics they possess.

confronted with various situations.

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

external factors of the environment require the leader to adapt to that
particular situation

exists

selling, participating and delegating

objectives while punishing those that fail to do so.

than treatment of employees
 TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY

and revealing the commitment and beliefs in the organization
• The transformational leader focuses on taking care of the employee supporting

to produce desired results.
