About this lesson
This lesson explains why transactional leaders focus on rewards, compliance, and incremental improvement, while transformational leaders inspire staff to embrace fundamental change and identify with organisational values. You'll discover Byrd's five essential skills for transformational leadership—anticipatory, visioning, value congruence, empowerment, and self-awareness—and understand why transformational leadership has become increasingly critical in today's fast-changing business environment.
