What's Your Leadership Style?: UnLearning Transactional Leadership
Manage episode 513579186 series 3426084
We unpack transactional leadership—why it feels natural, where it works, and when it fails—and show how to pair it with relational styles so people and performance both thrive. Clear goals help, but autonomy, mastery, and purpose keep teams engaged and growing.
• definition of transactional leadership and its roots in school rewards
• where transactional systems fit: scale, sustaining growth, clear metrics
• strengths: clarity, consistency, fast runway for new hires
• weaknesses: micromanagement, pressure, shallow incentives
• autonomy, mastery, purpose as durable motivators
• pairing transactional with servant, transformational, and democratic styles
• co‑creating goals versus top‑down mandates
• producer‑to‑leader shift and ambition with boundaries
• organization‑first vs team‑first bias and how to balance
• whole‑self leadership and avoiding the pizza‑party trap
