It will surprise you that Many people don't know the vision of their company, organisation or business. This communicates the difference between a transformational and a transactional leader. It also tells the difference between followers who are potential leaders and followers who will remain as followers. (We can say, there are transformational and transactional followers as well)
Real Leadership has since transcended from mere occupation of position to positioning people and organisations for the future by bringing out the best in them today.
Transactional leaders are managers who are more concerned with the process of production than with people: in the Same way, transactional workers/followers are more concerned with survival than with the future. So, they know little or nothing about the major objective of the company or business they work in.
Transformational leaders are people and future oriented. They carry the vision and communicate it so strongly that everyone around them work passionately and tirelessly until the objective is realised. Transformational leaders take people and the business into the future.
Management and Leadership are not the same thing. But, we need managers who are leaders, as we need leaders who are managers: Transformational leaders who understands the transactional part, and Transactional leaders who will become transformational in their approach.
Action Exercise: Become a transformational leader from where you are.
