Preparation Questions
1. What are the differences between strategic leadership and transformational leadership?
Are the differences situational?
2. Is it possible to be a strategic leader when you are not part of the top-management
team? Why or why not?
These two questions are likely to prepare students for the first discussion question. One of the
differences between strategic and transformational leadership is that one is better suited for one
situation over the other one. Students are being asked to consider if this makes it a situational
leadership approach. The second question is one that is often debated. Students are asked to
reflect on whether this is possible or not and give reasons for their position.
