Theoretical Summary Thought Leadership: a radical departure from traditional, positional leadership Mitch McCrimmon Shared leadership and distributed leadership are formed when all members of the team are involved in the leadership of the team. Within this leadership model, there is a shared responsibility for leadership functions. These functions include decision making, planning, organizing, influencing, and allocating resources. Inherent in this model is the assumption that members of the team have developed the ability to exhibit one or many of the leadership functions above. While this model has proven to be applicable during periods of technological advancements, McCrimmon (2005) calls for a model that is less focused on managerial activities and instead more focused on the individual without management responsibilities.
Review the following contingency leadership models. Fielder' s Contingency Model: The contingency theory was developed Morse and Lorsch, and is primarily based on McGregor’s Theory Y and Herzberg’s Hygiene Theory. It assumes that people need to feel competence to be motivated, and if it is realised, the individual will remain motivated even after the originating task has ceased. The method of fulfilling each person varies from individual to individual and is also dependant on the strength and variety of each of the individual’s needs. As important as needs fulfillment is the requirement to achieve a good fit within the e organization to “set the stage” so to speak for the individual to be able to strive for success.

I believe that leadership should be based on a vision that must be adjusted as needed for the organizational climate and constituents they serve.
Carter’s research sought to identify whether a correlation existed between transformational/transactional leadership style, personality and behavior, and a pastor’s overall effectiveness. The reference article, “Relationships among charismatic leadership, social network extensiveness, and self-set career gaols: A cross-cultural examination in the United States and China” (2005), written by A. D. Stajkovic, M. A. Carpenter, and S. D. Graffin, is a report of the results of research investigating links between charismatic leadership to the extensiveness of a leader’s social network, which lead to the prediction that an extended social network was related to individuals setting challenging career goals. Also assessed in the research was whether the proposed social-network linkage to self-set career goals is generalized across cultures. The authors stated that these relationships have not previously been examined in organizational and psychological literatures. Research Questions The main question Carter (2009) attempted to answer is whether

James MacGregor Burns (1978) was the first to initially introduced the concept of transformational leadership. He distinguished between transactional leaders and transformational by explaining that: Transactional leader are leaders who exchange tangible rewards for the work and loyalty of followers. Transformational leaders are leaders who engage with followers, focus on higher order intrinsic needs, and raise consciousness about the significance of specific outcomes and new ways in which those outcomes might be achieved (as cited in Ching, 2014). *It is typically frowned upon to quote someone indirectly.

Application of Transformational Leadership Transformational leadership provides what is typical of leadership who work in transforming context, a general way of thinking about leadership that’s focus on ideals, inspiration, innovations and individual concern.
