2) Stimulate intellectual growth by sharing new information and encouraging creative ideas.
3) Motivate others by focusing on shared goals and recognizing progress.
4) Model ethical behavior and embrace purposeful, positive change.
Behavioral theories of leadership focus on how a leader's behaviors can be learned and affect outcomes. Specifically, consideration for others reduces turnover while task orientation improves performance. The most effective leaders can adapt their style to the situation.

As a Perpetualite, how would you adapt and practice the theory of
transformational/transmutational leadership in our university and in your community?
Consider the individuals you lead. Invite those who sometimes are left out or opt out of the change process to be involved. Include them on a committee or team, ask for their opinions and concerns and listen to their ideas. Get to know people's talents and strengths, and place people where they can shine, including in informal or temporary leadership roles. Encourage intellectual stimulation. Share cutting-edge information with your followers. Buy books to stimulate new ways of thinking, and put them in a public area to be borrowed and used. Ask people to present their creative ideas. Invite speakers and send people to training or conferences to gather new ideas. Keep everyone learning and creatively sparked. Motivate the people you lead. Get everyone focused on the same goals, and explicitly spell out your high expectations for everyone. Revisit these things often at meetings. Write about the organization's progress in a newsletter. Post steps accomplished on the way to achieving the goals. Let people know you think they can do it, and recognize efforts and progress. Use your influence. Model the attitudes and behaviors you want to see in others. Do the things you want others to do. Make the most ethical decisions possible, and follow the Golden Rule. Embrace purposeful change, and change for the better every day. The transformational leadership theory is idealistic, but that kind of attitude can be contagious. You can bring about change with positive reinforcement. By setting a good example, you help transform the organization so it can achieve longterm profitability. What is the role of behavioral theory in leadership? Behavioral theories focus on how leaders behave. For instance, do leaders dictate what needs to be done and expect cooperation? Or do they involve their teams in decision-making to encourage acceptance and support? In behavioral theories, assumptions are Leaders can be made, rather than are born Successful leadership is based in definable, learnable behavior Behavioral theories do not seek inborn traits they look at what leaders actually do. Success can be defined in terms of describable actions Leadership capability can be learned. While a leader can exhibit both types of behavior, early research on the two dimensions indicate that generally: As a leaders consideration increased, employee turnover and absenteeism declined As a leaders task orientation increased, employee performance rose. Clearly, how leaders behave affects their performance. Researchers have realized, though, that many of these leadership behaviors are appropriate at different times. The best leaders are those who can use many different behavioral styles, and choose the right style for each situation.
