Transformational leadership Is a leadership style focused on

effecting revolutionary change in organizations through a
commitment to the organizations vision.

The four steps used by leaders to make change is challenge the

process, inspire a shared vision, enable others to act, and model the
way.

The four characteristics of idealized influence, inspirational

motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration.

Mohandas Gandhi shows throughout his life that he has the qualities
to be a transformational leader and we will show that in this
PowerPoint.

Transformational leadership four steps

Challenge the process- find something that needs to be changed.

Inspire a shared vision- show people why there needs to be changes

made.

Enable others to act- telling people what they need to do to get

things to change.

Model the way- do what you preach, make the change yourself.

How did Gandhi lead?

Gandhi showed transformational leadership throughout his acts to

free India and stop the civil war through his non-violent protest.

Gandhi stopped the fighting in his country by leading through

example and showing the people of his country what needed to be
done, not just telling.

He always had faith in what he was doing and even throughout the
many jail visits, never let that hold him back.

Salt Tax Problems

Challenge the process- In the movie Gandhi saw that the salt tax
was way too high for the Indians. Unfortunately, they still needed to
purchase salt because they could not make their own and could
not sell their own salt because they didnt have a license to do so.

Inspire a shared vision- before the march to Navasri Gandhi gave a

giant speech to all of his followers were he sad we will go to the sea
and make salt and we will get arrested but we will not fight back.

Enable others to act- Gandhi then took his followers on a 240 mile
march to Navasri and when they get there they made salt for free
and did not pay taxes on it.

Salt Tax Problems (continued)

Model the way- Gandhi made the salt and got arrested and
beaten and could have tried to fight back with violence but instead
he took the beating and accepted getting arrested and did not
fight back.

Individualized consideration

Gandhi showed individualized consideration in a scene from the

movie Gandhi when the horses were charging at Gandhi and his
followers. One of the followers told everyone to lay down on the
ground. Gandhi along with the rest of the other followers listened to
him. By doing so, the horses did not run them over and kill them. By
listening to his follower plan people did not get trampled.

Indian civil war

Challenge the process-The civil war between Hindu and Muslim

groups is destroying the country and coasting many Indian lives,
Gandhi wanted this to stop and the thoughts of Separating the
country.

Inspire a shared vision- Gandhi said they are one group of people
and this civil war is killing the country and many people are dying
that do not have to die. He wants to unite the Hindu and Muslim so
they can work together and to stop killing one another.

Enable others to act- Gandhi says that people need to stop trying to
divide the country and stop the violence and until this stops he will
start fasting.

Model the way- The violence dose not stop and Gandhi starts
fasting and nearly dies before the violence stops.

Conclusion

Transformational leadership is a leadership style focused on

effecting revolutionary change in organizations through a
commitment to the organizations vision.

Gandhi is a transformational leader because he gets his power and

inspiration through his followers and not himself.

One of Gandhis best quotes that he said is Non-violence is the

greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the
mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
Meaning that words and actions make much more of a dent in the
world than arms.
