Week 5 Final Paper



MGT 380: Leadership for Organizations




Leadership within an organization

I will be examining the key concepts of leadership through my current place of work. I

am currently a learning operations manager for Chewy which is an ecommerce business. I will

reference our text to identify and show support on how these leadership concepts apply within

my current workplace. Weiss explains in the text leadership roles are projected manners and

activities associated to leaders’ jobs (Weiss, 2015). When discussing the key concepts of

leadership, you can connect transactional and transformational leadership. These styles are

different from the other styles illustrated in the text. This is viewed differently leaders are

constantly adjusting to develop and engage their teams. Leaders who are more ethical do not see

members of their team based on their level but the ability to learn with guided supported (Weiss,

2015). Studies show that teams perform twenty percent better when they are effectively engaged.

When you think about leadership in the work place you can consider many different theories

however, this is not the only aspect that defines leadership. Engagement is another important

aspect to discuss when talking about leadership throughout the organization. I will be outlining

the different concepts of leadership and identify my concept as a leader.

The first style of leadership I would like to discuss is transformational leadership. This

style suggests that these leaders look the modify and engage to create a strategic vision (Weiss,

2015). Leaders who exude this style are observant to their team’s needs and goals. They can

recognize actions that need to be changed and are able to remove barriers. A transformational

leader drives motivation to deliver results (Weiss, 2015).

, The next style of leadership I will explore is transactional leadership style. Through this

style leaders will perform more of a standard approach when accomplishing daily tasks (Weiss,

2015). The textbook suggests that these leaders have a focus on being consistent and driving


quality and production throughout their teams to deliver results (Weiss, 2015). The type of work

is usually aligned with transactional duties. This explains that team members can receive support

to help maintain performance goals. These leaders support team members to strive and achieve

their personal goals while removing barriers such as stress and anxiety. These leaders who

accountability to standard work and strive for consistent outcome regarding production and

quality (Weiss, 2015). Without these leaders’ different organizations could not implement

standard work practices. “Transactional leadership seeks to maintain stability rather than

promoting change within an organization through regular economic and social exchanges that

achieve specific goals for both the leaders and their followers” (Weiss, 2015 p. 45).

Transformational leaders have been labeled as a “quiet leader”. These leaders will

perform their role based on how they were trained and will utilize skills they have obtained from

other peers. The transformational leadership style can usually be understood by multiple people

with different personalities.




The transactional leadership style differs from the transformational leadership style. The

Transactional style is a more structured managed process. These leaders focus on team member’s

performance and achieving expected results. These leaders also shift their focus on promoting

performance with punishment and rewards. This style has a strong impact on team moral and

focuses on creating structure for their members to follow. They manage results through

performance management which results in disciplinary actions for not meeting performance.

This style is common through many organizations and common on multiple structures.
