Expert Solution
Considering the
results from the leadership questionnaire, the preferred leadership preferences
sourced from various personal characteristics lean on transformational
leadership. Transformational leadership describes a participatory and inclusive
leadership style by the leader for those being led. The leadership styles focus
on inspiration, formation of trust, and inclusivity which breeds creativity and
innovation among those being led. Unlike authoritarian and other forms of
leadership, transformative leadership is organic primarily in the relationship
between the leader and subordinates, increasing accountability for the leader
from his subordinates. Therefore, examples and characteristics of
transformational leadership are illustrated to describe the advantages of this
type of leadership and its use as a strength in various environments.
