According to the idea of transformational leadership , an effective leader is a person who does the following: Creates an inspiring vision of the future. Motivates and inspires people to engage with that vision. Manages delivery of the vision, a leader create a dynamic platform for every others followers having tendencies to becoming a leader.
Leader sacrifices more by trying his best getting his followers along, by so doing they will develop more and contribute immensely to the organisation they all belong.
Does a position alone make a leader great? The answer to this is capital No, the position a leader hold alone won't make people follow him, he must do something that will encourage his followers and see reason why they needed to follow him or her. Not just the title attached to the position. Apparently, position alone is poor subtitute for influence. People who actually make it using power vested in position are bosses; but are they really leader to look at? This is why I will like to clarify and shed more light on the concept leaders and bosses.
Bosses have surbodinate and not team leader as they only take orders from the boss whether palatable or not, even if they are grumbling and lodge complain, the boss decision is the final, nothing more nothing less. In most cases where there is troublesome surbodinate, he or she will just earn himself or herself being removed from the organization.
So, it will be as good as saying, a positional leader can have control on those they employ and not voluntary followers; as they want more from the so-called leader, not just being order around like slave, but actions that will propel even development as far as the organization or group is concerned.
Bosses may have difficulty acquiring more intelligent people with them since they wouldn't get to like a way leader(just order). Bosses may not necessarily pass through fierce and impetuous heat or circumstance emerging as it could base solely on influence, godfathers in some countries, and having money sent on errand.
On the other hands, leader takes his followers along in which they develop with him, they never remain static, surely dynamic as the leader making sure through tireless activities engaging them. Leader has to be more concerned about the development of his followers in all ramifications; like, support and see to his followers need often. By so doing, he doesn't need to run around to preserve his position since it will always be intact having earned the followers trust, be it at any level; home, organisation or even the voluntary followers.
When leader is discharging his duties, carrying followers along then the environment would surely be positive at all time. No need for him or her to panic, although there is more attached to being a leader as one must be ready to change and effect it on oneself and those one is leading. Also be sure that result is certain in effecting the change not just pleasant or conducive working environment alone but for leader, ensuring even development and desirable result that will improve the followers and give them reason why they they needed to stay in line.
