Are you a Disruptive or Transformational Leader?

Leadership is not necessarily determined by titles. Some of the most influential individuals within an organization may not even be members of the management team. However, these individuals, due to tenure, experience or unique perspective, can move the needle for an organization.

In a crisis situation or when there's a leadership void, proactive individuals often step up to provide what might be called episodic or situational leadership. I'm reminded internally of our own sales administrative assistant, Mo Allen, who is an undisputed leader when there is a safety drill or heaven forbid, a real emergency in our offices.

Regardless of the way in which leadership is exercised, the goal should be to improve the organization in some way. That can take place in a revolutionary or high impact way or in an understated or evolutionary manner.

This SmartBrief article entitled, "Are you a disruptive or transformational leader?" provides some perspective on both approaches. We all lead at one time or another so I hope you'll find value in this article.
