Change-Oriented Leadership

Module 3 – SLP
Change-Oriented Leadership: Transformational and Charismatic Leaders
For the Module 3 SLP assignment you will be again be applying the concepts from the background materials to your own personal experiences. You can write about the same supervisor you wrote about in Modules 1 and 2, or choose a different supervisor that you worked with and got to know well.
Carefully review the concepts and definitions of charismatic, transformational, and transactional leadership. Then write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following issues using specific examples from your personal experiences:
Describe a situation you experienced in the workplace when a current or past supervisor used a transformational or charismatic approach to motivate their employees. Was it effective?
Describe a situation you experienced in the workplace when a current or past supervisor used a transactional approach to motivate their employees. Was it effective?
Based on what you’ve read for this class so far as well as from your own experience working with different supervisors, do you think transformational and charismatic leadership can be learned or do you think it something you are born with? To support your answer, use both of the following: your personal experiences and references from the required background materials.

Required Reading
Start off this module by viewing the three videos below. They are relatively brief but will give you a solid introduction to the three types of leadership covered in this module: charismatic, transformational, and transactional.

Now read deeper into these topics with the following two readings. The Luthans, Luthans, and Luthans (2015) book is especially important because it covers all three types of leadership. The Barine and Minja (2012) book chapter provides a detailed comparison of transformational and transactional leadership.
