INTRODUCTION:

Organisations in China faces challenges that are uniquely different from the experiences faced in other countries. The major challenges includes the need to groom relatively less experienced talents to become managers ( and leaders) within a very short period and also the challenges of managing an operation with a very mobile work force which will migrate to another organization when the opportunity arise.
According to a recent report of a research done in China the most important factor that young executives look for when they go for another job is ‘ opportunity to learn and develop’. Obviously a few strategic priorities exist for managers in China; one is to groom them to become leaders within a very short time and secondly be able to create a work environment that would enable them to retain talents. Thus it become important that fast moving managers, whilst caught up in their daily operational priorities must put an emphasis on exercising leadership. Long term stability and results comes from moving from a manager’s position to a leadership position. The daily requirements to manage for results by focusing on efficiency, policies, procedures, and profitability must continue but it needs to be augmented with leadership skills.
In Transformational Leadership: the key word is to transform. Transform what? The transformation is from a position of getting things done through Compliance to getting results from Commitment. The difference between energy and motivation coming from a committed person as opposed to a compliant individual is apparent. Transformational leadership is about changing the way we work with our team and in doing so we get the team to change the way they work.
Transformational leadership uses renown leadership expert, John C Maxwell’s concept of the 5 levels of Leadership, expounded in John’s bestseller, “Developing the Leader Within You”. Whilst Management’s focus is internal - on benefits for the organisation: results, profitability, etc. The leader’s focus is on people - internally on motivation and increasing morale and externally on improving quality and customer service. Employees not only will enhance performance and productivity but also improve profits when they are committed and inspired to through effective leadership. It also involves developing people as well.
