Pseudo Transformational Vs Transformational Leadership 1f5q2q

Pseudo Transformational Vs Transformational Leadership Many leaders in our world help form and control mankind. Leadership is a complicated trait as different methods can be used to gain followers. Leaders with all their efforts must appeal in a manner that benefits and interests their ers. In like manner, Transformational leadership is the ability of a leader to get people to do more than they originally expected to do in of large-scale innovation and change. (Schermerhorn 351) It contains four key components: charisma or idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration. Specifically, a Transformational leader set examples to be emulated by their followers. On the contrary, a Pseudo-Transformational leader acts, but has no intention of sacrificing their self-interests for goods of others. Accordingly, they may be manipulative and deceiving. Sure enough, Transformational leaders are more effective than Pseudo-transformational leaders since they encourage others to voluntarily change their behaviors through their idealized influence, intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation. Leaders with idealized influence portray a role model figure. Their charisma is envisioning, and their confidence sets high standards

I'm gonna call for another vote. I want you eleven men to vote by secret written ballot. I'll abstain. If there are eleven votes for guilty, I won't stand alone. We'll take in a guilty verdict to the judge right now. But if anyone votes not guilty, we stay here and talk it out. On the other hand Fidel Castro, Cuba’s prominent leader is a mirror image of a Pseudo Transformational leader. He is often called “the symbol of opposition “. (Wilson 80) He has been Cuba’s leader since December 1956. Castro has been described as “An educated, dedicated fanatic, a man of ideals, of courage and of remarkable qualities of leadership.”(Herbert L.) When undertaking Cuba’s revolution, it has been said that Castro promised one kind of revolution and delivered another. Therefore, the two revolutions proved to incompatible. (Halpien 2) In addition, Castro has been known for ruling a Communist country, yet during a trip to the United States he states“ I can tell you clearly we are not Communists, or Capitalists we are Cubanists”, (Halpien 47) displaying a rather contradictory argument. As a result, the qualities that are seen in Fidel are his bravery, independence, his appeal to Cuban patriotism, his traditional appeal to the Cuban poor and stance against the rich and deceptive. Supposing they're wrong...Could they be wrong?...They're only people. People make mistakes. Could they be wrong? Fidel Castro, in order to maintain his political authority, as well as for reasons of pride and

probable conviction, he could scarcely afford to tell his Cuban following and his irers throughout the world, that he had merely blundered his way into power. That the Cuban Revolution was an accident. He deceivingly convinced that the adaptation of the MarxistLeninist guide like of the Chinese Revolution in the past was successful. His insinuation to his fellow Cuban’s characteristics of his skill, in the manipulation of the allusion further lead to the approval by Cuban’s to approve the Revolution. (Halperin 66) Another point of consideration is when referring to the US, relating to the Bay of Pig invasion Fidel Castro strongly states: •

First is idealized influence. He maintains that genuine trust must be built between leaders and followers. “If the leadership is truly transformational, its charisma or idealized influence is characterized by high moral and ethical standards.” Trust for both leader and follower is built on a solid moral and ethical foundation. The second component is inspirational motivation. “Its [transformational leadership’s] inspirational motivation provides followers with challenges and meaning for engaging in shared goals and undertakings.” The leader’s appeal to what is right and needs to be done provides the impetus for all to move forward. Next, is intellectual stimulation, “. . . intellectual stimulation helps followers to question assumptions and to generate more creative solutions to problems.” The leader’s vision provides the framework for followers to see how they connect to the leader, the organization, each other, and the goal. Once they have this big picture view and are allowed freedom from convention they can creatively overcome any obstacles in the way of the mission. Lastly, is individual consideration, “ . . . individual consideration treats each follower as an individual and provides coaching, mentoring and growth opportunities.” This approach not only educates the next generation of leaders, but also fulfills the individuals need for self-actualization, self-fulfillment, and self-worth. It also naturally propels followers to further achievement and growth
