*Lead with a capital L.*
This reminds me of [[vision]] gives people something to aim for.
It's kind of like [[hearts are volunteers]], the goal is to get the hearts involved.
“ If you need more than compliance, a transactional reward and punishment style of leadership isn’t enough.
• Establish a positive, inspiring sense of direction and a collective purpose that the team can believe in (consider involving the team in its creation).
• Create high standards that team members care about and challenge them to determine (and redetermine as needed) how best to attain them.
• Listen attentively to uncover individual team member needs and ideas.
• Model what you expect from the team (e.g., collaborative behaviors, cooperative attitudes) and do what you say (trust is at the heart of transformational leadership).
• Remind them that the team can win.”

why does it matter?
Simply being a _Transactional Leader_ with carrot and stick incentives but without the motivating value of inspiration doesn't actually get you as good outcomes as being _Transformational._
##### What would the opposite argument be?
Leaders first and foremost need to be good managers.
