Transactional Leadership
Transactional leaders seek mutually satisfying outcomes by providing clear directions and holding
subordinates accountable for their actions. This leadership style removes the guesswork, which is highly
effective in the chain of command work structure implemented by all military agencies.According to
Changing Minds.org, "The transactional leadership style works through creating clear structures whereby
it is clear what is required of their subordinates, and the rewards that they get for following orders." The
mission of the military is to deter war and protect the security of the United States. The transactional
leadership style upholds this mission through leaders who create dynamic relationships with

performance and support.
Transformational Leadership
Transformational leaders are charismatic. They motivate and inspire with intellect, which bodes well for
servicemen and women who find themselves in hostile situations where quick thinking and decisive
actions are key to their survival. According to The Transformational Leader, "The essence of
transformational leadership is the capacity to adapt means to ends to share and reshape institutions and
structures to achieve broad human purposes and moral inspirations." This leadership style is effective
because leaders use inspiration and education to motivate subordinates. They empower subordinates to
make decisions, creating value and need within soldiers. Most important, they instill a sense of pride and
create a vision to gain subordinates' respect and trust

Servant Leadership
Military officers and enlisted servicemen and women step into a leadership role on day one of their
military career. These men and women freely give their life to defend the U.S. Constitution from all
enemies foreign and domestic. Though serving their country is the initial reason for enlisting, many if not
all soldiers say it is because of the man or woman standing beside them that they fight. "This is the
essence of servant leadership – their extreme dedication to the service of others before themselves,"
according to "Interpersonal Skills For Leadership," by Susan Fritz, et.al.The servant leadership style in the
military is effective because leaders embody the characteristics of servant leaders: empathy and
acceptance, a sense of community and a calling to serve others. Having worked their way from the
bottom to the top, military leaders do not talk the talk; they walk the walk.
All In One
Effective military leaders possess characteristics of each leadership style. They must carry out the orders
bestowed upon them by their Commander-in-Chief -- the President of the United States of America.Thus,
the military requires a mixture of transactional leaders to motivate and reward by upholding law directives;
transformational leaders to build trust among troops in wartime scenarios with charisma and intelligence
and servant leaders who embody the essence of the military -- service before self.
