Transformational Leadership

Question: Analyze the key concepts and describe applications to your organization. Provide examples. Answer: Transformation leadership by Dr. Judith Wright Critical review: The main message of the video presented by Dr. Judith Wright is to show that transformation is tough and complex and it is difficult to adopt. Transformation is only adopted when the organization has a proper reason. Transformation is associated with confusion and pain as it requires struggle. A leader has to face choice between choosing that already exists and the one that is new. Innovation has a fear of being accepted and this fear is known as existential anxiety. Innovation has benefits as well because it brings new joy and gives freedom. The main quality of a leader is to be ready to accept new challenges and willing to take risks. Leaders are the ones who learn from their past mistakes (Wright Foundation, 2016). The research shows that the leaders who have adopted change and transformed is in a verge of continuous transformation over and over again. They are the ones who are ready to accept challenges and make hard choices. True transformation is accepting to take risks. A lead er is a one who adopts the change not because it simply wants to but because it wants to become the one that it can become. The main aim of the leader is to realize its full potential. The main aim of the education at the university is to impart the knowledge on leadership so that people are able to bring an effective change and so that they are able to realize their full potential (Dr. Judith Wright on Transformational Leadership, 2016). Example: Suppose a particular wants to transform its retail business into online retail. For this a proper leader is required to manage the work. A leader should be the one who is ready to accept the change and the risk associated with transformation. A company may grow or it may be into loss due to transformation. A leader is the one who is ready to accept any challenge that it faces in the phase of transformation. References Dr. Judith Wright on Transformational Leadership. (2016). YouTube.
