Question

• Discuss the importance of vision when using transformational leadership.
• Describe people who you consider to be transformational leaders—either people you know from your own work experiences or people you have learned about through the business press. What aspects of their leadership style would classify them as transformational leaders?
• Search for the mission statement of two or three companies for which you might want to work someday. Is this an organizational vision that you would find motivating? If so, why? If not, how should the mission statement be re-written?

Answer 1

answer-

Vision has great importance when we talk about transformational leadership because if there is vision then there is a clear path for leader and his/her followers to lead on. the clear vision helps the leader to lead his followers to right direction and followers will know what they should do to achieve the vision created by leaders. a vision is important to keep leader and followers to be together on the same page. if there is no clear or any vision then leadership will be lost and people will do whatever they come across with.

there are two example of leaders who can be considered transformational one is Steve jobs who was visionary, risk taker, inspiration and creative as he has founded the Apple Inc and make the innovation as base of the company. we can see how his vision of making life of people innovative with technology helping us now days, iphones, ipads like products are used everywhere making life of people in every field easy and convinent.this is because of His passion for perfection, simplicity and sophistication drove the company and he made sure that it got engraved into every employee who worked at Apple.

second transformational leader is Mahatma Gandhi who can look weak and lean from outside but his vision and sheer determination create many historical moments in India and help Indians to get freedom. His traits like vision, hard working, motivation, inspiration and influencing others made him transformational leader.

the three companies which i want to work someday are Apple, Walmart and Tesla because the vision of these companies i find on internet and their website are motivating. for example- the mission of Walmart is "to save people money so they can live better." so this shows that how company is caring for people's money and lives as they want to give high quality product at low cost.

Tesla company is making environment sustainable which i think many other companies do opposite. the mission of Tesla is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy . this shows that company is utilizing its resources to benefit the customers, society as well as environment .

*hope this will help you.
