Helping staff develop and maintain a collaborative culture
Norms of collective responsibility and continuous improvement encourage people to teach each other how to do things better. Transformational leaders involve staff in collaborative goal setting, reduce isolation, use bureaucratic mechanisms to support cultural changes, share leadership with others by delegating power, and actively communicate the company's values, norms and beliefs.

Fostering staff development
Employee
motivation for development is enhanced when they internalize goals for professional growth. This process is facilitated when they are strongly committed to a corporate mission. To inspire and energize people, corporate  goals should be explicit and ambitious but not unrealistic.

Helping people solve problems more effectively
Transformational stimulates people to engage in new activities and put forth that "extra effort". Transformational leaders use practices primarily to help staff members work smarter, not harder. These leaders share a genuine belief that their staff members as a group could develop better solutions than the leader could alone.
