Bass 1985 Leadership

Bass’ s (1985) conceptualization of transactional and transformational leadership included seven leadership factors, which he labelled charisma, inspirational, intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration, contingent reward, management-by-exception andlaissez-faireleadership. In subsequent writings (see. Later around 1985, Bernard M. Bass further developed Burn’s theory on Leadership by adding a psychological notion to the factor. Bass implies, “The person who connects to their followers on an emotional level will be more elected as a prominent leader.” Characteristics of a Transformational Leader.

The transactional and transformational theories of leadership developed by Burns (1978) and Bass (1985) are clarified and extended by using a constructive/developmental theory to explain how critical personality differences in leaders lead to either transactional or transformational leadership styles. The distinction between two levels of transactional leadership is expanded, and a three-stage developmental model of leadership is proposed.
