Let’s take a look at the Leadership Continuum. This graphical view of the continuum balances boss-centered leadership and the increasing use of authority by a manager with a subordinate-centered leadership style with increasing use of freedom for subordinates.

The manager permits subordinates to function within limits defined by a superior.

Be sure to have reasons for your choices. We will share our answers with the class. Answers will vary but should focus back to the steps in this model. Now we will look at leadership through the eyes of followers. First we will look at transformational leadership and compare it to transactional leadership.
