Abstract

“Leadership is intangible; therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it,” is a quote by General Omar N. Bradley. This quote captures the true power of leadership. The Full-Range Leadership Model by James MacGregor is a chart graphing the major categories of leadership and its effectiveness. I will go in depth with the category of Transformational Leadership in the form of Inspirational Motivation. This leadership style is unique because it focuses on creating personal relationships within a team to inspire and motivate. The main attributes of Inspirational Motivation are being optimistic and inspirational. These types of leaders will encourage and push their team to accomplish feats that they never thought was possible. This person believes strongly in their people and holds them to high standards because they know their team can go above and beyond them. Team spirit, commitment, and dedication are huge aspects of this leadership style. One person who embodies this leadership style is Dwayne Johnson. In his life, and in his movie roles, he is constantly the leader people look up to and strive to be. He uses encouragement, words of affirmation, and motivation to consistently improve his people and reach their goals. As I delve more into my presentation, I will discuss more about how you can implement characteristics from Inspirational Motivation in your life and how to avoid undesirable ones like Laissez-faire.
