Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Burns believed that in order for true transformational leadership to occur, the roles of both the leader and the followers needed to be linked, creating a mutual empowerment and shared vision. He believed that leaders who were solely focused on the "bottom line" or financial gain were not true transformational leaders. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of motivation and inspiration for followers, contradicting option A which suggests motivation rarely exists in followers. Option D references "in-group members," which is a concept not mentioned in relation to Burns' views on transformational leadership.
