<description><![CDATA[The study of transformational leadership theory, from the interview results as well as the research studies, indicates that the theory has various characteristics that necessitate its application in modern-day society. The theory is suitable, as most people agree, with the fact that leaders typically create a vision for the organization.

<description><![CDATA[Leadership can be a very subjective idea. We all know what the term means on the surface; leadership is essentially a process of social influence, where one can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task. This makes a lot of sense, of course, as leaders are typically "leading" a team, which in turn helps them in achieving their goals. But isn't leadership sometimes a bit more subjective than this? Isn't it quite possible that leadership is nor black or white, but inherently in the "gray area" of life indefinitely?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Comparison may contaminate, but it also provides useful insight to almost anything that we analyze on a day to day basis. Just like many other things, comparison itself comes with its "goods and bads." Sure comparison can cause frustration, jealousy, and even malicious intentions and behaviors; the United States has always been about keeping up with the Jones', after all. Though comparison can be seen in a negative light, it is still something that is necessary to our everyday lives. Without comparison, we wouldn't have contrast. How would I even be contrasting the positives and negatives of comparison?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Leadership is essentially a process of social influence, where one can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task. In addition, it entails an association that sees to the mobilization and guidance of other people; for the attainment of particular objectives through influence. Leadership encompasses the aspects of influence, people, and desire to effect change that is manifested in the shared goals of the followers, and leaders alike.

Leadership is viewed by the followers as a driver for change - so that the results at the end are beneficial to both the leader and the follower.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The transformational leadership theory results in a model that observes various morals in the organization - in terms of several aspects. These are ideal influence, inspired motivation, consideration and intellectual stimulation.

<description><![CDATA[In an effort to maximize sales in the information technology realm (as well as not compete with ourselves), we believe that is makes most sense to include only one product per segment. As of this moment, we only have products in the traditional, high-end, low-end, size and performance segments. We have, however, agreed to switch out our old performance unit with a new one, which will be cutting edge, and will generate more revenue. By the end, we plan to have changed one or more products in each of the segments, rather than over flooding the market with multiple technology options per segment. We believe that this will give us a competitive advantage.]]></description>
