After reading the articles, they cleared up the meanings of the types of leadership even more. I feel as though I have an even better understanding of transactional leadership especially because of the article by STU. However in the article is says, “Transactional leaders differ from charismatic and transformational leaders in both structure and method.” I believe transactional leaders have to have some degree of charisma as well. A transactional leader is usually in a commanding role so charisma is needed in order to get people to do what you want even if it’s negative enforcement.<\/p>\n
I thought it was interesting how they distinguished the pros and cons of transactional leadership. One con that stuck out to me was when it said transactional leadership “Does not reward personal initiative.” If that is the case the whole method seems pointless to me. That is why I think transformational leadership is more effective, especially for long term situations.<\/p>\n
