Transformational Leadership

Transformational Leadership  James MacGregor Burns is known as the father of the concept of transformational leadership. Burns first produced the theory in his 1978 study Leadership. Building upon the concept first introduced by Burns, Bernard M. Bass put transformational leadership into a model in the mid-1980’s.  This model is known as the 4 I’s of leadership:  1. Idealized Influence (II) – the way a leader influences their group 2. Intellectual Stimulation (IS) – the environment a leader creates that allows followers to be creative and ideas to flow 3. Inspirational Motivation (IM) – leader motivates and inspires followers to improve performance 4. Individual Consideration (IC) – treat each team member as an individual and develop vital relationships This model is still considered the essential mapping to achieve transformational leadership. In your discussion post, please explain how you can address the four I’s in your current role. Touch on what you are currently doing and what can be improved. When responding to your peers, try to provide creative and/or new ideas to expand upon the thinking.  MY CURRENT ROLE IS HEAD VARSITY GIRLS BASKETBALL COACHES For more information on Transformational Leadership  read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformational_leadership
