Dave
Dave is in a different category of team development as his requirement forms from a specific need or objective. The selection of team members does not follow the same structure as that for Kyle and Steve whereas Dave must form team dynamics based on who is provided to the team, not necessary based on expertise but on who is available at the time. With this deviation from a normal talent pool to a modified experience pool, precise responsiveness for encouraging members' team identification is leadership (Huettermann et al., 2012). Knowing the experience pool of potential team members is dependent of availability of personnel requires the leader too quickly and activity combined level of followers' self-concepts, abilities, and aptitude to achieve the project goals there forth strengthening the team’s identification and stimulating team-oriented efforts (Huettermann et al., 2012). This type of team building leadership requires a strong understanding of personalities and personality types. This is one of Dave’s strengths and is the underlying concept of his position. Strong interaction with differing personalities requires a skilled leader to communicate in ways that will not hinder the process as opposite personalities begin forming and norming in group dynamics (Bell & Smith, 2010).
As a transformational leader, Dave interrelates moral and authoritarian leadership behaviors in calculating the currently assigned team members with respect to the in-role and extra-role efforts (Schuh et al., 2013). Henceforth, Dave building on charismatic leader, attribution, social learning, and social exchange theories for positive and negative effects of behaviors to elicit strong attention and sense-making efforts amongst the team (Hu...

Organizational transformation happens when leaders are able to impact the culture in a positive manner, and he or she can lead an organization through changes, all while remaining encouraging and ethical. Northouse (2013) defines leadership as a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. Leadership ethics is about who leaders are, their character, what they do, and their actions and behaviors (Ethical Leadership, 2016). This case study is about leaders at a Texas plant, and how their leadership style, communication, and ethics affected the organization.

The importance of ethical leadership is emphasised in theories of ethical leadership such as transformation theories which seek to raise the consciousness of followers by appealing to ideals and moral values rather than to materialistic desires or negative emotions such as fear and jealousy; Servant leadership theory which explains why the primary concern of the leaders should be to nurture, develop, and protect followers; Spiritual leadership theory which explains how leaders can enhance the spiritual meaning in the work experienced by followers; Authentic leadership theory which describes an ideal leader whose behavior is guided by strong positive values, (Yukl, 2010). In addition, all these theories emphasise the importance of leadership

The period of the turn of the century in many American businesses such as Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, and Arthur Anderson, were driven by unworthy values like self-indulgence, greed and corruption that drove the business into unethical territories. The challenge for leadership scholars was to understand how leader ethical values were connected to certain behavioral styles that generate ethically responsible attitudes and behavior in organizations. Change leadership models for example, transformational leadership, have dictated the study of organizational leadership for over 30 years. Research has demonstrated the powerful effects of transformational leadership at the individual, group, and organization-levels
Systematic research on leadership began in the early 1930s (House & Aditya, 1997). Researchers were interested in identifying leadership traits that might differentiate leaders from non-leaders. Despite of devoting so much effort to this area, only a few leader traits were found to be positively related to leadership effectiveness such as intelligence and Self-confidence.(Mann, 1959).After this leadership researchers turned their attention to leaders’ behavior. Two types of leadership behavior were identified in different studies (1) Initiating structure that includes task related behaviors such as organizing work, defining role responsibilities, and setting up work activities. (2) Consideration includes relationship oriented behaviors such as building trust, respect, and liking between leaders and followers. The University of Michigan group also identified two types of leadership behaviours. (1)Production orientation means that how much leader is concerned with achieving organizational goals and tasks and (2) employee orientation means that how much followers’ needs are important to leader (House & Aditya, 1997). (Song Heyi and Mao Na Guo Dan, 2007) inspect the relationship between the traits and the performance of the leader in different organizational cultures and found that in today’s dynamic world the negative traits are directly related to the performance, leaders play significant role in every organization. As the competition between the service oriented organizations is very high and continuous change is needed here and growth of these organizations where the only possibility to survive successfully is due to the effective and productive leadership. Leadership is process of social interaction where leaders try...
In this time of transition and uncertainty, research suggests that transformational leadership is highly effective (Straight, 2006). Leadership research has drifted from emphasis on the competence of leaders to “manage change” to the ability to “transform” organizations. Transformational leaders have attributes and behaviors needed to successfully motivate and empower employees. According to Bernard Bass (1990), transformational leadership occurs when a leader transforms, or changes, his or her followers in three important ways that together result in followers trusting the leader, performing behaviors that contribute to the achievement of organizational goals, and being motivated to perform at a high level. Transformational leaders can achieve greater performance by stimulating innovative ways of thinking and transforming follower’s beliefs and aspirations. Maxwell (Maxwell, 2007) articulates that most of the time, influence is more important than formal power or authority. I agree with him. Influence is very important in organizational and co...
Up until this point, much of the focus has been centered on defining effective leadership from characteristics and traits that have been identified through research and behavioral science, but what do the followers have to say about the leader’s characteristics and traits? Furthermore, what makes someone want to follow a leader? Thus, there are five specific traits or characteristics a leader must display before being followed, and the first characteristic or trait is honesty (Shead, 2016). While people desire to follow an honest leader, honesty is the key trait that allows the leader to influence others besides power; however, leaders have very few opportunities to demonstrate honesty, especially in large organizations (Shead, 2016). Therefore,
U.S. country developed the transformational leadership theory (Bass, 1985). There has been a growing interest in the intersection of leadership and ethics during the last decade. (Wren, 1998).

Followers make attributions of heroic or extraordinary leadership abilities when they observe certain behaviors. Traits and personality are related to charismatic theory and people can be trained to exhibit charismatic behaviors

Transformational leader is considered ethical in nature. Transformational leader helps followers, understand their followers ‘problems and give them solutions to tackle problems. Followers get personally attached with their leaders and do in the same manner as the leader wants. Transformational leader is may a source of employees’ satisfaction and commitment.
