Solution

Transactional leadership applies to leaders who are task oriented and able to direct their groups in specific ways to accomplish finite goals. Transactional leaders work to gain their group\'s compliance through various approaches: offering rewards, threatening punishment, appealing to group members\' sense of altruism, or appealing to followers\' rational judgment. Transactional leaders have little involvement with the group and they intervene in the group only when the group is getting off track.Transactional leadership is an exchange to satisfy the needs of both the leader and follower. For example, a nurse manager exchanges a salary for the services of employees to provide care to patients.

Transformational leadership is the process by which a leader fosters group or organizational performance beyond expectation by virtue of the strong emotional attachment with his or her followers combined with the collective commitment to a higher moral cause.

Ryan White is an example of transformational leadership . This teenager raised the American people\'s awareness about AIDS and in the process became a spokesperson for increasing government support of AIDS research.
