Transformational leadership involves inspiring and motivating others to achieve higher performance by fostering innovation, creativity, and individual growth. In healthcare, transformational leaders empower their teams by encouraging them to take on new responsibilities, providing opportunities for professional development, and promoting a culture of collaboration and shared decision-making. An example of transformational leadership in my daily practice is my nurse manager, who actively seeks input from nursing staff on improving patient care processes, encourages innovative solutions to challenges, and provides mentorship to help the team for quality care.
The relationship between transformational leadership and structural empowerment lies in their mutual focus on fostering a culture of empowerment, collaboration, and innovation within organizations. Transformational leaders inspire and motivate individuals to reach their full potential by encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and personal growth. They also actively involve employees in decision-making processes and provide support and mentorship to help them succeed (Gehri, 2023). On the other hand, structural empowerment involves the organizational structures, policies, and processes that enable individuals to exercise control over their work and contribute to achieving organizational goals. This includes access to resources, information, and opportunities for advancement.
Transformational leadership can contribute significantly to boosting the health of an organization by fostering a positive work environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and empowered to perform at their best. Transformational leaders can improve employee morale, engagement, and job satisfaction by inspiring a shared vision of success and promoting a culture of trust and collaboration. This, in turn, can lead to higher levels of productivity, innovation, and quality of care within the organization. Additionally, transformational leaders are adept at identifying and developing talent within their teams, which helps to build a strong and resilient workforce capable of meeting the challenges of a dynamic healthcare environment. Overall, transformational leadership can be crucial in creating a healthy organizational culture that promotes excellence in patient care and employee well-being.

What is the relationship between transformational leadership and structural empowerment?
The University of Massachusetts states that transformational leadership is when leaders encourage, inspire, and motivate employees to create meaningful change. They focus more on collaboration in the organization than strategic plans. Structural empowerment is the “ability to mobilize resources and achieve goals through information, support, resources, and opportunities,” (Maura, 2020). Having leadership support like this advocates for the empowerment of these organizations and helps motivate or engage employees.
How would transformational leadership contribute to boosting the health of your organization?
Transformational leadership can improve the vision of an organization, help employees find common goals, and boost motivation. It creates an ability for innovation and creativity from employees and builds trust and collaboration with their employers.
