In today’s low-engagement workplace, which style works better?
My answer:
Use both, but emphasize transformational leadership.
Why?
Because disengagement is rarely solved by:
more reminders
more spreadsheets
more surveillance
more “per my last email”
People need:
purpose
trust
growth
voice
recognition
connection
That is where transformational leadership carries more weight.
But do not throw out transactional leadership.
Teams still need:
expectations
accountability
consistency
follow-through
So the balance looks like this:
Transformational leadership sets the climate. Transactional leadership sets the rails.
Ted Lasso heart.
A little Roy Kent honesty.
Much less Office Space soul drain.
Reflect:
What does your team need more right now? More control or more connection?
Call to action:
Save this post if you are trying to build engagement, not just attendance.
