Understanding different leadership styles can enhance project management. Here’s a comparison of transactional and transformational leadership:

- Approach: Uses rewards and punishments to motivate team members.
- Best For: Projects requiring strict adherence to procedures and timelines.
2. Transformational Leadership:
- Focus: People-oriented, inspiring and motivating team members.

- Best For: Projects needing creativity, change, and strong team engagement.
Both styles have their strengths and are best applied based on project needs and team dynamics.
