Do you think transformational leadership is innate or can be cultivated? Please explain.

Answer: (1) Transformational leadership is a type of leadership proposed by James McGregor Burns, a political sociologist, in his classic book On Leaders in the 1980s, following the theory of leadership characteristics, leadership behavior and leadership contingency. Burns believes that traditional leadership can be called a kind of contractual leadership. That is, within a certain system and institutional framework, the leader and the led are always in constant exchange. In the process of exchange, the leader's resource return (including tangible resource return and intangible resource return) and the leader's obedience to the leader are exchange conditions, and the two sides complete the process of satisfaction under the constraint of a "tacit contract".

(2) Transformational leadership theory links the roles of leaders and subordinates, trying to create a process between leaders and subordinates that can improve the motivation and moral level of both sides. The leader of transformational leadership optimizes the interaction among members of the organization through his own behavior mode and attention to the needs of subordinates. At the same time, through the creation and promotion of organizational vision, we can create an atmosphere of change in the organization and promote the adaptive change of the organization in the process of efficiently accomplishing organizational goals.

(3) Transformational leadership needs both innate ability and acquired training, and the key lies in acquired training. Transformational leadership requires leaders to have personalized care, intellectual stimulation, appeal and appeal. These abilities are more acquired and are essential for transformational leadership.
