Such leaders and discovers in nature and have discovered themselves fully. They are well aware about all their strengths and weakness and work on the weakness right from the day one. Also, they are emotionally also very strong and are well aware of that. They know how to keep their emotions under control.

   2.   Both Authentic leadership and the transformation leadership are very important for the organization.

Importance of Authentic leadership- This type of leadership builds a trust amongst the employees, which leads to increasing of the followers. This is very much needed to improve the performance of the employees. A leader only succeeds when his or her followers or teammates respect the leader, listen to him, trust him and have faith in him. That is when they will be satisfied with the working conditions. Employee satisfaction is directly related to the increase in the efficiency of the organization.  

Importance of Transformational leadership- This type of leadership is very systematic and well organized in it’s nature. It values and treasures new ideas and innovation.

However, when the working culture is not very good and the employees find it hard to trust their leaders, at this point of time authentic leadership comes into the picture and becomes the best option to resolve this issue.

However, when the business is very small but it has set for itself very big targets and goals, then at this stage employees need a leader which is very motivational and inspiring. Transformational leadership comes into the picture at this stage and proves to be the best option to apply on it.
