What is Transactional Leadership?

Transactional Leadership is the everyday leadership between a manager and colleague, officer and soldier, or any leader and their followers. It is the process of passing on a request or requirement and winning a commitment to meet it.

LESSON NOTES
Transactional Leadership is based on transactions. A reciprocation in which followers commit to actions in exchange for some consideration.

This was developed by James McGregor Burns in his towering book, Leadership [https://geni.us/LHERsIH]

Transactional leadership needs a power base from which the leader can offer rewards or impose sanctions.

RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books – perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.

So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:
