However, instead of placing majority of the energy into each employee’s individual goals, the transformational leader is driven by a commitment to the organisation’s objectives. Because these types of leaders spend much of their time on the big picture, this style of leading is best for teams that can handle many delegated tasks without constant supervision.

After three months, she has set clear targets for each of the teams that report to her and asked individuals to set goals for themselves that align with those.
