individual staff needs

 Transformational leadership has been
described by various individuals

Many articles written about this style

and it is considered the most popular to
teach or model

3
 According to Wikipedia:

Transformational leadership is a
leadership style where one or more
persons engage with others in such
a way that leaders and followers
raise one another to higher levels
of motivation and morality

4
 According to Tracey and Hinkin (1998),
transformational leadership is a
process that motivates people by
appealing to higher ideas and moral
values, defining and articulating a
vision of the future and forming a base
of credibility

 Transformational leadership is often seen in
various situations such as:

Parents motivating their children

 MacGregor Burns first introduced
transformational leadership in 1978 but
not for long term care or even healthcare
at the time, it was for political leadership

Burns described and compared two

conflicting leadership styles

8
 First: Transactional leadership
Example:

If you help me THEN I will help

you

9
 If it benefits me and I get somewhere in life
then fine if it does not go well, the
relationship can end at any point.

No loyalty or support involved by either

individual

10
 Flip side is Transformational Leadership

The leader works to establish a

committed relationship between the
leader and the follower

11
 Belief that transformational leaders are facilitators
of change and move the process through the
organization

Create a sense of possibility and vision for the

future of the organization

Have a desire for common goals, not me but us

12
How do you know where you fall on the
leadership scale?

13
 Before a leader is strong enough to
lead

They need to have a personal

transformation

A leaders behavior influences and

motivates others so it is very important
that a leader does a self evaluation

 Various tests that help you to better
understand your leadership style by
focusing on your personality traits and
who you are as an individual

16
 When you are talking about
leadership style, it is a good idea
to write down what want you want
to be as a leader, what will your
leadership wish list include?

17
 Look at the needs of your staff and
how you can best lead them
through culture change and all of
the day to day changes that occur
within your community

18
 How do you want the residents and
elders to be treated?

Start thinking in terms of best

serving your population and then
consider these qualities as what
you want to model for your staff

19
 First and foremost is respect

You want your staff to know that you

respect and appreciate them

20
 You want the staff to have a sense of
dignity about working for your
organization to feel that they are
treated with dignity and in turn that
they treat the residents and elders with
dignity

21
 Your leadership style should be
tailored to meet the needs of the
organization and the needs of each
individual, each of your staff

22
How would an organization look with
the
influence of a Transformational
Leader vs. a
Transactional Leader?

23
 I am the boss what I say goes

Staff have little say in decision making

Get the job done, task over

relationship

Very task oriented in nature

24
 Residents and direct care staff are at
the heart of the nursing home

They direct the care and make

decisions

Hierarchy is no longer the guide

25
 With transformational leadership we look
for ways to bring out the best in staff

To help them to grow

Search for new opportunities that the staff

want to participate in

As the staff grow they rise to the occasion

26
 Research has identified many benefits to
transformational leadership. Examples
include~

Job satisfaction
Less stress
Happier residents
Improvement in quality of care and safety
practices
27
 As a leaderknow your staff

Work to bring out the best in each individual

Value their input and allow them to grow

This is the foundation of a transformational

leader!
