translate English to French: In the past, many of us thought that leaders needed to possess certain traits, but recent research by Bass and others has shown that transformational leadership behaviours can be taught.23 Some authors have described transactional leadership as management and transformational leadership as a purer form of leadership.24 Because there is a general tendency to undervalue management in comparison to leadership, transformational leadership is naturally valued over transactional leadership.
Certains auteurs ont décrit le leadership transactionnel comme une forme de direction, alors que le leadership transformationnel serait une forme plus pure du leadership24. Comme on a généralement tendance à sous-évaluer la direction par rapport au leadership, le leadership transformationnel est naturellement plus prisé que le leadership transactionnel, ce qui ne veut pas dire pour autant que le leadership transactionnel n’a pas sa place.
