Leaders who change how people see what is possible.

Direct answer

Transformational leadership inspires people with a shared vision, models integrity, encourages new thinking and supports individuals' growth. It is effective in times of change, but works best with attention to detail, process and wellbeing.

Four components

  1. Inspirational motivation: a clear, exciting vision.
  2. Idealised influence: being a role model.
  3. Intellectual stimulation: challenging assumptions.
  4. Individual consideration: coaching and caring about people.

How to practise

  • Explain the why behind goals.
  • Invite ideas and challenge respectfully.
  • Coach people individually.
  • Match words with actions.

Limits

Vision needs execution. Pair it with clear plans and accountability.
