Implementation of Transformational Leadership
Sales representatives rate their career happiness 2.5 out of 5 stars which puts them in the bottom 5% of careers (Career Explorer, 2023). Copiah Supply, Inc. is an industrial supply company that provides goods and services to customers in the Southeast United States. Recent employee surveys conducted at Copiah Supply, Inc. revealed an overall low motivation rate in the sales representative positions. Employees cited salary and commission rates as the main cause of dissatisfaction, with feelings of not being valued by the company as the second factor contributing to low job motivation. Based on these findings, management at Copiah Supply, Inc. has proposed organizational and policy changes to address the employees’ concerns. To ensure successful implementation, Copiah Supply, Inc. will train all managers in applying the transformational leadership theory. Transformational Leadership
Transformational leadership believes in the power of encouraging everyone in the organization to hone their individuality and contribute based on their passion and lived experiences. Leaders and managers create connections with employees, invite enthusiastic input, and provide support and positive motivation. Transformational leadership, at its core, looks at each team member and employee and supports positive transformations from within to benefit the good of the whole (Fox, 2019). Transformational leaders inspire followers to accomplish more by concentrating on the followers’ values and helping the followers align these values with the values of the organization (Givens, 2008). By understanding the four components of transformational leadership, managers at Copiah Supply can become successful leaders for their teams.
3
Idealized Influence
- Transformational leaders develop a shared vision and improve relationships with employees (Sayyadi, 2020). Managers at Copiah Supply can accomplish this aspect by displaying a sense of pride for being a part of the Copiah Supply team and sharing their values and beliefs, thereby creating a bond with their team.
In addition, the managers will need to portray confidence in their ability to lead their team in achieving company goals.
Individualized Consideration
- Transformational leaders concentrate on identifying employees’ individual needs and empowering followers in order to build a learning climate and mobilize support toward the goals and objectives at the senior level (Sayyadi,
2020). Successful understanding of this aspect includes managers becoming coaches to their teams. In addition, managers will need to understand team members are not the same. Teams are composed of individuals who have different needs, abilities, and goals and will assist their team in the development of their strengths, including any training the team may need to improve their performance.
Intellectual Stimulation
- Transformational leaders propel knowledge sharing in the company to generate more innovative ideas and solutions for new and demanding issues that come up constantly in the hyper-competitive economic environment (Sayyadi, 2020).
For this aspect to be effective, managers will need to encourage team members to contribute their thoughts and ideas on improving team performance, solving problems, and how to best streamline their processes.
Inspirational Motivation
- Transformational leaders focus on inspiring people and do not
just treat them as human assets (Sayyadi, 2020). With a focus on encouraging their teams

Winemaking has remained largely unchanged for 7,000 years, but the United States wine industry has ballooned from 30 billion dollars in 2002 to 60 billion today, making it the largest in the world. Wine producers see customers as having limited expertise and demonstrating inconsistent, difficult-to-predict preferences. They seek to influence tastes by shaping markets through vision and social influence. Even as wine producers dismiss customer input and the pursuit of profit, they value the opinions of peers and influential media and critics. Consumers looking to buy a bottle of wine confront thousands of choices. To navigate, they invariably turn to those experts that the wineries have worked so hard to influence. Producers of wines define categories and set benchmarks, and consumers become fans and pay premium prices, despite the availability of excellent alternatives.

According to the company website, "Nordstrom, Inc. is a leading fashion specialty retailer offering
compelling clothing, shoes and accessories for men, women and children. Since 1901, we've been
committed to providing our customers with the best possible service-and to improving it every day."
Source: Nordstrom-About Us
The company was started by a 16-year-old (John W. Nordstrom) Swedish immigrant who could not
speak English and arrived in New York with only $5 in his pocket. After spending time in mining and
logging camps in Washington and California, he moved to Alaska and made enough money in a gold
mine stake to return to Seattle, Washington. There, he partnered with a friend from Alaska and opened
a shoe store, which would grow to be the largest independent shoe chain in the country.
Nordstrom retired in 1928 and turned the company over to his sons. By the 1960s, they had expanded
throughout several Western states and added clothing apparel to their stores and in 1968 turned the…

Read the following carefully and answer questions 1
The Product:
Fruit growers face particular problems in marketing their produce. It is very difficult for them to distinguish their products from those of their competitors. These businesses, by their very nature, are product-oriented. They have to produce good products to have any chance of surviving in the market. Your task is to advise a fruit grower on how they could market their produce to ensure that the distinctive qualities, or unique selling points, are stressed.
One example, which may be of help, is the South African fruit industry. By working together under the Cape label, they have managed to distinguish their produce from their competitors' produce. The use of a generic label for all produce has been used by other fruit producers such as Spanish oranges, Israeli avocados, and so on. You should try to think of a different approach for the fruit grower you are advising.
