Charismatic and transformational leadership has been linked to a variety of positive outcomes. For example, subordinates of transformational leaders have less role conflict, higher task performance, and higher satisfaction with a task than subordinates with non-transformational leaders (Howell & Frost, 1989) and show more helping as well as compliance (Den Hartog, De Hoogh, & Keegan, 2007). Furthermore, transformational leaders are perceived as being more effective than non-transformational leaders, transformational leaders have been rated as better performing than non-transformational leaders, and subordinates have more reverence for transformational leaders, a stronger sense of collective identity, and higher perceptions of task performance compared to non-transformational leaders (Conger, Kanungo, & Menon, 2000; Hater & Bass, 1988). This class will teach you what it means to be a transformational leader and will teach you the steps necessary to becoming a transformational leader.
