Chief Product Team 
In this post, let us consider the role of transformational leadership in your product.
What Is Product Transformational Leadership?
Transformational leadership is a type of leadership that is concerned with the welfare of the people in the organization.
Leaders who are transformational want to create an environment where employees are challenged and can grow. They often employ the use of vision, inspiration, and motivation.
Think about this for a moment.
What if your product was your company? What if you viewed your product as a home for your customers?
When this happens you will be able to inspire the people that work on your product to go the extra mile. So, you can reach its full potential.
Transformational leadership is all about creating an environment where everyone on the team can find meaning in their contribution. The leader is responsible for creating this environment. This is what great leaders do.
They take ownership of the team and make sure that they are not only doing their part. But doing it well enough to be proud of what they have created.
The Role of Transformational Leadership in Product Development
So how does transformational leadership play a role in product development?
It is important for the team members involved in creating your product. So, they can feel like they are a part of something bigger than themselves.
When you invite team members to buy into the vision, they are more likely to go the extra mile when creating the product.
Creating a culture where people want to innovate and want to be proud of what they have created is an important aspect of product development.
When you do this, there will be less resistance when changes need to be made. Or when new ideas need to be implemented.
A leader who is effective at transformational leadership will be able to keep up with changes. Especially in technology and consumer needs so that their product can meet their needs.
This often involves changing the direction of their product based on new information that comes up during the process.
Transformational leadership is also all about inspiring others. Then, making them want to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
Leaders who are good at this also know how to communicate with their team members. So, they feel connected and involved in what they are working on.
They don’t just talk to them. They talk with them and involve them in the process of planning, developing, and marketing their product so that everyone feels like they have a stake in it.
The Bottom Line
Transformational leadership is about creating an environment where everyone on the team is invested in the product.
It’s about creating an environment where everyone on the team can find meaning in their contribution. The leader is responsible for creating this environment.
