Creative
vs. Intuitive Leader |
The intuitive-style
leader
often introduces
change by
just announcing it without defrosting the status quo and picturing a
better future. The response to this approach generally
creates rigidity and higher
resistance.
The
inspirational
creative leader
explains why change is needed, discusses change with stakeholders,
invites feedback and suggestions, holds meetings. This creates a more
open,
trusting
organizational culture.

leaders.

So what separates
extraordinary leaders from proponents of the status quo?
They
break the rules. Except, not in an arbitrary or capricious
way. When you look at examples of extraordinary leadership, like
the Founding Fathers of the United States or
Jack Welch of
GE, certain practices or principles become apparent.

Keep People In The Know
"Transformational
leaders
empower others by keeping them "in the know," by keeping
them fully informed on everything that effects their jobs," says
Brian Tracy. "People want and need to feel that they are
“insiders,” that they are aware of everything that is going on.
There is nothing so demoralizing to a staff member than to be
kept in the dark about their work and what is going on in the
