This is because\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">transactional <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">leadership is based on the followers&#8217; \u201cimmediate self-interest,\u201d as described by Bernard Bass, as opposed to the followers\u2019 highest priority needs. Transforming leaders are more likely to align their personal principles with those of the public, therefore becoming more trusted and well-liked. In addition, leader-member exchange generates \u201ctrust, loyalty, and respect\u201d (Bass 14); LMX is directly correlated with the success of transformational leadership, as followers are able to put faith in their leader. However, I agree with the fact that the best leader must be both transformational and transactional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bass mentions that \u201csome may argue that affirmative action has pushed women faster and higher than justified by their competencies\u201d (Bass 17). I disagree. In fact, I believe women tend to be more transformational than men because they are more willing to compromise their beliefs and ideas with those of their followers. Women simply receive fewer opportunities to act in leadership positions as prejudice against their gender, not because they obtain less leadership qualities than men. Sexism makes women have to work twice as hard for the same accomplishments as men. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James MacGregor Burns defines leadership as a consideration of both the leader\u2019s and followers\u2019 values, meaning that a leader must care for the needs and&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/2019\/10\/03\/transnational-and-transforming-leadership-2\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Transnational and Transforming Leadership<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4526,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[68044],"class_list":["post-1027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-1030-class","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4526"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1027\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst1010304f2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
