Transformational leaders are considered to be the best type of leadership to inspire their employees (CBIA 2016). This is because they are packed with the qualities of having the transformational leadership, leading the employees to follow them and identify with them, inspiring their employees to work towards the organizational and personal goals through huge motivations and supports. Gathungu (2015) has presented four factors that how the transformational leadership qualities would affect the employee commitment and they include inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, idealized influence and individualized consideration.
The inspirational quality of transformation leaders would motivate the employees follow their path toward achieving organizational and personal success. Employees trust in them because of their formal acknowledgement and their consistent supports provided to them. They would usually lead the employees to work optimistically and enthusiastically to foster commitment.
Besides, they are willing to entertain new ideas and encourage their employees to be innovative and creative and be brave enough to speak out their ideas without having fears of getting condemned. They focused on solving the problems but not trying to put responsibilities on people who do wrong.
Further more, they believe that they have to be what they want their employees to be first before they demand their employees to be. They act as the role model of their employees and influence their employees in their behaviours. Their actions would always win them trust among their employees as they would place employees at the first place and show them that they are valued. By doing this, their employees would have the common goals with them, which is to achieve organizational success.
Last but not least, they are very supportive to their employees and they provide different supports to their employees and reward them based on their achievement. There is always fairness in the workplace as the employees are treated the ways they deserve to be treated. Transformational leaders try to communicate with emotion and they are very considerate so that no one would feel being left out or giving an unfair treatment under their leads.
