The Four Pillars of Transformational Leadership - a podcast by Katie
from 2022-02-24T09:00
How can you be a transformational leader? What does it take to inspire others to go to the next level?
The term Transformational Leadership was first coined by James McGregor Burns. He explains that transformational leadership can be thought of as: "leaders and followers make each other to advance to a higher level of moral and motivation."
There are four pillars that will make you a transformative leader.
- 1. Intellectual stimulation: Providing others with the freedom, creativity, independence and autonomy to ensure that they can tap into their potential. It is the opposite of micro-managing.
- 2. Connection: Building rapport and connection with your followers. This can be if you are the CEO of your business, or a thought leader. People need to feel connected with you for you to have an impact on their work.
- 3. Motivation: Having a compelling vision that your followers buy into, and that also drives them. Sharing that vision and motivation with your team.
- 4. Inspiration: Having the self-leadership skills so that you can be an inspiration to your team and they are inspired to go the next level, be their better selves etc.
These four pillars of ‘transformational leadership’ enable you to be a greater leader, and also to be more inspired and motivated in your daily work. It is a virtuous cycle. Inspiring others, being inspired. That is what transformation is all about!
