As we have studied during this week, transformational leaders
encourage their employees to share ideas. This type of leader motivates
employees and seeks collaboration to achieve goals. They take the time to
listen to employees and evaluate ideas. Open communication, cooperation, and
risk-taking are characteristics that often describe transformational leaders.
When COVID-19 began, Salam, the general manager of XYZ’s chain
restaurant, conducted a meeting with all employees. During the meeting, Salam
shared COVID-19 related information and expressed the critical importance of
customer safety.
As a transformational leader, Salam wanted to involve all
employees in the decision-making process to determine if masks and gloves
should be used by employees, the number of customers to be served inside the
restaurant at one period of time, how sanitation efforts could be encouraged,
and more. Since the transformational leadership approach was used, the process
of determining what was best for the organization took countless meetings and
over one month to agree upon. While waiting to make a final decision, employees
became ill with COVID-19 and the restaurant needed to close for longer than
anticipated.
Thinking about the case presented above:
Determine if the transformational leadership style was
the best approach to use.
Explain what leadership approach you would have used if
you were in Salam’s position (i.e., transactional leadership, charismatic
leadership, or transformational leadership).
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using the
transactional leadership approach as compared to the transformational
leadership approach.
If you were Salam, what would you have done differently
and why.
