Leadership Theories The two styles of leadership theories I plan on executing are: “Relationship theories, also known as transformational theories, focus upon the connections formed between leaders and followers. Transformational leaders motivate and inspire people by helping group members see the importance and higher good of the task. These leaders are focused on the performance of group members, but also want each person to fulfill his or her potential. Leaders with this style often have high ethical and moral standards” (Cherry, 2013). It is important that the team understands that without their full potential being put forth our team will fail. The team will work along aside of me as counterparts and will reap the benefits of working on my team. Last but not least, “Participative leadership theories suggest that the ideal leadership style is one that takes the input of others into account. These leaders encourage participation and contributions from group members and help group members feel more relevant and committed to the decision- making process. In participative theories, however, the leader retains the right to allow the input of others” (Cherry, 2013). The team members will be allowed to vote on relevant decisions,
