In his book Leadership, <\/em>Richard Couto goes into detail about transformational leadership. In particular, he claims that it could be impossible to be an effective transformational leader on a small scale. I disagree with this claim; he argues that the examples of transformational leadership (MLK, Susan B. Anthony, etc.) are too far out of reach of ordinary people. If we use Bass\u2019s simple definition of transformational leadership, I could see how it could be applied in smaller scale settings and still be effective. Dr. Bezio described transformational leadership as a \u201cpositive feedback loop\u201d where leaders and followers push themselves to higher motivation and morality. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a stretch to see this in an office setting. In fact, I think transformational leadership is in itself effective.<\/p>\n

STU Online explores how transactional leadership can lead to results. More specifically, it describes how the inherent structure of transactional leadership leads to results. I found two of the examples especially interesting. Norman Schwarzkopf was a leader in the military during the Vietnam War, and even though he was wounded twice during the conflict, he was able to use the rigid structure of the military to maintain a successful unit. Vince Lombardi was also mentioned, recounting how his Green Bay Packers would run the same plays over and over, and he still had success when his opponents knew which plays he would run.<\/p>\n
