Bosses
engages in Transaction whereas Leader are engaged in Transformation
Let’s understand the
context behind which the above difference has been derived. When I say “Bosses engages
in Transaction” I mean they are more oriented towards day to day activities, whereas when I say
“Leaders are engaged in Transformation” I mean Leaders are engaged in transforming
their subordinates to explore their potential.
Bosses talk about daily
activities and their focus is on execution, subordinates are used for their advantage
and some of the subordinates feel they are either underutilised or used for
routine activities. Whereas Leaders are committed towards developing people and
hence they focus on activities that has larger scope for the subordinates to
use their strengths and work beyond their comfort zone. In such situations the discussions
will be transformational in nature, unlike the bosses whose discussion is
restricted to day to day transaction.
Leaders who engages in
transformation inspires their team with vision whereas the boss pressurises their
team with Targets.
Being transactional in
nature, Bosses uses their subordinates as a Ladder, Since Leaders are transformational
in nature, they stand on the top of the Ladder to extend their hand for the Subordinates
to reach the top.
If employees need to
come back to workplace with great zeal, it depends upon what kind of engagement that prevails in the organisation.
Ask yourself the following
questions
1.
Do you assign a task and only focus on
it?
2.
Does your conversation limit to work and
work-related aspects?3. Do you start the day, by checking the status?
4. Do you spend time on developmental discussion?
5. Do you share the vision & check how will subordinates contribute towards the vision?
6. Do you nominate your subordinates for developmental programs?
By answering the above
question you can understand your engagement model, the more transformational
you are, the more Leaders you develop.
Make
your interaction with people more Transformational, not just Transactional
