Have you ever stopped to think about the choices you make?

And what about your thoughts that lead to those choices?

What we think and how we act on those thoughts form the foundations of how we lead our lives.

So, when we are struggling to change, to make improvements, to grow in certain areas, then it is our thoughts and initial actions that need to be brought into full awareness.  Only once we fully understand where we are, can we make substantial changes for the better.

And so we transform ourselves.

We are all leaders of our own life, whether we realise it or not!  And, we all have the power within to transform the way we lead our lives.

We call it Transformational Leadership.

But how do we be a transformational leader?

 

Transformational Leadership: The Catalyst for Change

The first step is to foster courage and flexibility and step into being a transformational leader.  In doing so you will unlock your mindset, opening a world of possibility.

 

 

The Essence of Transformational Leadership

At its core, transformational leadership is characteristed by four key components:

1. Boundary Breaking

Transformational leaders challenge the status quo and encourage creativity and innovation.  They create the right environments for themselves and others to thrive, think, take risks and be themselves without fear of judgement or by judging others.

2. Motivational Mastery

Transformational leaders know how to enthuse and motivate themselves to transform.  They create collaborative visions and are enthusiastic about those visions.  They are clear on outcomes and allow flexibility on how to realise the visions.

3. Understanding

Transformational leaders have the ability to understand that each person has their own personality, needs and preferences and can coach and mentor others to realise their true potential.

4. Strong and Consistent Values

Transformational leaders have a strong sense of purpose, identity and values.  They live to these and are always consistent in their behaviours, attitude and communication.

 

 

This is a powerful personal development tool which can be applied to the business world too.

 

Changing the Way You Lead Others

 

Imagine businesses / organisations achieving remarkable improvements.  Where employees are inspired, motivated and engaged, connecting with the vision and being part of creating the plans for the future.  Effectively becoming leaders in their own right.

Transformational leadership is not just about leading change; it’s about transforming the way you, and therefore the people you lead, think, act, and envisage their future.

It’s a leadership style that requires passion, commitment, and a deep understanding of people (yourself included).  By embodying these qualities, transformational leaders can inspire their followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes and, in the process, transform themsleves into leaders capable of continuing the cycle of positive change.

 

 

The Impact of Transformational Leadership

 

The effects of transformational leadership can be profound, enabling you to take your influence, impact and results to the next level.

Innovation & Creativity:  Ideas will flow, with businesses and people flourishing.

Trust & High Performance:  It is through trusting themselves and others the stage for high performance is set.

Growth Mindset:  Growth will be encouraged and demonstrated through non-judgemental decision making, positivity and a blame free culture.

 

3 Ways to Embrace the Mindset of a Transformational Leader

 

1. Transformational Leadership Identity

Having a clear identity and sense of purpose.  Being the transformational leader now! Step into being the role model of transformation.

2. 10X Outcome Thinking

By creating highly visionary outcomes – “where the impossible seems possible” – no barriers or blockers thinking.  A can-do attitude at all time.

3. Creating a Feedback Culture

Create a safe and open environment where feedback is welcomed and valued, seek and ask for focussed feedback and giving developmental feedback at all times.

 

Understanding what transformational leadership is about is just the beginning.  The learning comes with application.  Stepping into being a transformational leader allows the transformation to be fully appreciated and embedded.

This can be easier said than done and this is where we can help.
