I have experienced first hand how leadership in an organization effects the productiveness of subordinates. I worked in one organization where my boss had a very transactional approach to leadership but very rarely used rewards to get things done it was mostly punishment and force. I did not work well under these situations as many before did not either and there was quite a bit of turn over in the company. It was a small company of about 3 to 4 people include herself and when 2 out of 3 people leave every six months (never her of course) it makes it very difficult to have a successful organization. The manager I work for now has a more transformational approach to leadership and this type of leadership is what is promoted for all managers in the company. Working for someone who has your best interest in mind, wants you to learn from your experiences and grow in your career is much more incentive to do a good job than anything else. I think that the topic of this web poster was very interesting. I am sure many of us in this class aspire to be great leaders and it is great to read information on different types and how they each can be effective in their own ways.
