Question 1
1.1 Identify which modern leadership theory was applied by Martin Sithole and
explain in your own words what this leadership theory entails.
Martin Sithole applied transformational leadership theory. This theory emphasizes
inspiring and motivating followers to exceed their own interests for the sake of the
group or organization. Transformational leaders focus on creating a vision, fostering
an environment of trust, and encouraging personal and professional growth among
their team members (Neal, 2020). They aim to inspire positive changes in their
followers, leading to increased engagement and commitment to the organization's
goals.
1.2 Discuss ethical and unethical characteristics of the identified leadership
theory and integrate examples from the case study in your discussion.
Ethical Characteristics
Visionary Leadership: Transformational leaders like Sithole often have a clear vision
that they communicate effectively to their team. This can align the team’s goals with
the organization’s mission. For example, if Sithole articulated a compelling vision for
innovation, his team might feel more motivated to pursue creative solutions.
Empowerment: This type of leader empowers followers, promoting autonomy and
encouraging them to take ownership of their work. If Sithole provided opportunities for
his team to lead projects, this would foster a sense of responsibility and confidence
among team members.
Integrity: Ethical transformational leaders demonstrate honesty and fairness, building
trust within their teams. If Sithole consistently made decisions that prioritized the well-
being of his team, it would enhance his credibility and strengthen the team's cohesion.
Unethical Characteristics:
Manipulation: While transformational leaders should inspire, some may resort to
manipulative tactics to achieve their goals. If Sithole promised rewards that were
unrealistic or unattainable, it could mislead team members and create disillusionment.
