Question

Angela, a manager at Exuberance Inc., believes in giving special attention to the needs of employees, creating learning opportunities for them, accepting and tolerating differences, and listening to their problems. Which of the following components of transformational leadership is illustrated in this scenario?

A. Intellectual stimulation
B. Individualized consideration
C. Idealized influence
D. Inspirational motivation

Answer 1

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Idealized power involves attitudes that give followers confidence in becoming identified with the leader—often connoted and confused with charisma. This means that a ruler for the common good of the party would go beyond their own self-interest, and undertake individual compromises for the advantage of others.

Idealized influence can be improved by managers by personalizing their management style, that is, give individual attention to all their subordinates regarding their problems.
