The Transformational Leadership Model is a simple yet very powerful leadership skills kit for improving your abilities and your results as a leader.
The Model was developed by modelling the leadership behaviour of the best senior and middle managers we have coached over the last 15 years in major corporations like GM, Dell, Yves St.Laurent, Defra, Land Securities, Reed Business Information and Knauf Drywall.
How The Transformational Leadership Model Will Help You
Transformational leaders are clear about their core values – the essential and enduring principles in which they totally believe, and they’re clear about their purpose – their fundamental reasons for being the leader. They also have a powerful drive for progress.
It is these values and principles that enable them to be self-reliant and confident. They also underpin the quality of their judgements, their courage and their integrity. Do you see what a strong effect they have on the behaviour of the best leaders?
Interestingly our modelling also indicates that leaders with strong values and principles tend to take pride in developing their abilities to be good at whatever they turn their hands to.
How Transformational Leaders Develop their Intellectual Strengths
Our research shows that as leaders develop they like to continue to make progress in all areas of their lives. In the work context this seems to result in leaders either becoming more thoughtful and strategic and wanting to learn more about their jobs or simply resorting to bullying.
In the race for the top the bullies tend to get left behind at the middle management level. They simply become incapable of producing the quality of ideas and plans necessary to impress their peers. However they can act as buffers preventing the development of more sensitive managers below them. This can have an adverse effect on the whole structure of the organisation.
As the transformational leaders progress so their desire for learning, their ability to make good judgements and to think strategically improves. This group actually gets stronger the higher up the ladder they climb.
So, simply by following the fundamentals of the Transformational Leadership Model and using it as their leadership skills kit a competent manager can develop into a dynamic leader.
If you are interested in developing your leadership abilities you should consider coaching with the Transformational Leadership Coaching Programme as a route to developing your personal leadership capabilities.
