Explain the advantages and disadvantages with using the transactional leadership approach

Learning Goal: I’m working on a management discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.As we have studied during this
week, transformational leaders encourage their employees to share
ideas. This type of leader motivates employees and seeks collaboration
to achieve goals. They take the time to listen to employees and evaluate
ideas. Open communication, cooperation, and risk-taking are
characteristics that often describe transformational leaders.When COVID-19 began, Salam,
the general manager of XYZ’s chain restaurant, conducted a meeting with
all employees. During the meeting, Salam shared COVID-19 related
information and expressed the critical importance of customer safety. As a transformational leader,
Salam wanted to involve all employees in the decision-making process to
determine if masks and gloves should be used by employees, the number of
customers to be served inside the restaurant at one period of time, how
sanitation efforts could be encouraged, and more. Since the
transformational leadership approach was used, the process of
determining what was best for the organization took countless meetings
and over one month to agree upon. While waiting to make a final
decision, employees became ill with COVID-19 and the restaurant needed
to close for longer than anticipated. Thinking about the case presented above: Determine if the transformational leadership style was the best approach to use.
Explain
what leadership approach you would have used if you were in Salam’s
position (i.e., transactional leadership, charismatic leadership, or
transformational leadership).
Explain
the advantages and disadvantages with using the transactional
leadership approach as compared to the transformational leadership
approach.
If you were Salam, what would you have done differently and why.
