The old management system has undergone many changes over the last century. An employee once performed assigned work duties during assigned hours and then went home. Now employees are encouraged to grow, give input and contribute to the good of the organization. There is a myriad of information that leaders can learn why and how to grow personally, thus enabling the organization to grow as well. This new emerging leader is a transformational leader. Transformational leadership focuses on what the leader can accomplish rather than on his or her personal characteristics and how he or she relates to others. This leader “helps bring about important, positive change by pushing group members beyond their personal interests and toward the good of the group, organization, or society (Dubrin, 2007, p. 84). The essence of this leader is to develop and transform people. Transformational leaders are needed to transform low-performing organizations into acceptable or high-performing ones. Other times, the leader is expected to lead an organization out of a crisis. To accomplish these tasks, the leader must review the organization's culture or subculture. This task is accomplished through nine ways to transform others: 1. Increase the awareness of others. The leader makes others aware of rewards and how to obtain them, such as pride in work or financial incentives. 2. Help others look beyond self-interest. The transformational leader helps others look at the “big picture” by describing an entire scenario, i.e. if we hire more employees to do x, we will have to make cuts in other areas. 3. Help people find self-fulfillment. The leader helps others not to focus on minor satisfactions, such as completing a job before the deadline... half of the document... ip.Works Cited Bennis, W. & Nanus, B. (1985).
