3-1 Discussion: Transformational Leadership

Select one transformational attribute of your chosen leader that positively affected the leader’s organization. How did your leader illustrate this attribute? Use material found in the text and your own research to explain how the transformational leader’s performance and behaviors impact his or her organizational roles and functions. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts, reflecting on the importance of transformational attributes. Here are some suggested topics for discussion:

• Do you think these attributes are critical for successful leadership? Why or why not?
• Can anyone learn these behaviors, or are they innate aspects of one’s personality?
• What attribute did you particularly identify with or rate as more important than the others? Why?
