Transformational leaders can create and manage on organizational culture that can contribute to an organization’s success through the following ways (Kohll, n.d.). First, growing off the current culture. Transformational leaders should always ask their employees what they like and do not like about the current culture of the workplace and try to make improvement on it to make sure everyone feel comfortable working together. Employees should be engaged in growing a positive culture within the organization as they know how they feel. Second, creating goals. Transformational leaders should create the organizational goals and make every employee work towards the same goals so they know what they are doing, which is working hard together to achieve something that is meaningful and valuable. Working together towards the same goals would bring people together and that is more meaningful than just than giving them pay checks.
Third, encouraging positivity. A positive culture would require a lot of the motivation and encouragement from the leaders. It is crucial for the transformational leaders to always encourage their employees, express gratitude and respect to the employees to make their employees feel positive at the workplace. Fourth, fostering social connections. Social connections is very crucial for the employees to feel comfortable in the workplace and a good workplace relationship would actually reduce the chances of office politics. Employees have to know each other well and maintain a good relationship with each other so they could better work together when there is any team project. There could be frequent employees gatherings, happy hour excursions or weekly team meals to be carried out.
