Criticisms of Transformational Leadership

Criticisms of Transformational Leadership
The biggest criticism of transformational leadership is also its strength – a leader may use their ability to influence and motivate others for immoral and self-centered gains. The biggest challenge for a transformational leader is to live up to the standards they set for their followers – they cannot use their charisma and influence for self-gain, nor can they afford to live by any double standards. Doing so would destroy the trust and faith they have built up in their followers. Transformational leadership works best in a broken or poorly running system or organization. If everything is running well – there is little need to transform anything. It also has less value in new organizations with no structure or developing structures. Finally, transformational leadership is not the best fit for crisis management (too slow) or highly bureaucratic systems that require stricter rules and chain of command.
