Transformational leadership enhances the
motivation, morale, and performance of followers through a variety of mechanisms. These include connecting
the follower's sense of identity and self to the project and the collective identity of the organization; being a role
model for followers that inspires them and makes them interested; challenging followers to take greater
ownership for their work, and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of followers, so the leader can align
followers with tasks that enhance their performance.
