Tristian Ramsey · Answer 1

1. idealized influence

Explanation:

Idealized influence can be most expressed through a transformational leader's willingness to take risks and follow a core set of values, convictions and ethical principles in the actions he takes. It is through this concept of idealized influence that the leader builds trust with his followers and the followers, in turn, develop confidence in their leader.

Lillie Schwartz · Answer 2

1. idealized influence

Explanation:

Idealized influence refers to set of behaviors that tend to enable an individual to seek beyond personal interest to encouraging and motivating creativity and growth of team members as they look up to their leaders. Transformational leaders tend to exhibit idealized influence through their charismatic personality, as they influence their followers. It entails influencing team members by inspiring them as a role model to do better in delivery set goals and objectives.
