DEFINITIONS

Four Characteristics of Transformational Leader

• Idealized Influence

• Inspirational Motivation

• Intellectual Stimulation

• Individualized Consideration

Transformational leaders strive towards creating such a state of idealized

influence by:

• leading by example

• acting confidently and optimistically

• sharing risks with followers

• emphasizing values and reinforcing them by symbolic actions

• displaying a high level of ethical and moral conduct

Idealized Influence

Inspirational Motivation

The transformational leader inspires followers toward the new ideas or

goals through inspirational motivation. The major characteristics of

inspirational motivation leadership include:

• clear view of the future

• development of a shared vision in both economic and ideological

terms

• making sure of each follower’s role in the fulfillment of the shared

vision

• encouraging followers to integrate and become part of the overall

organizational culture and environment

Intellectual StimulationTransformational leaders raise their followers’ awareness regarding

problems and develop their capability to solve such problems in many ways.

Some of these ways are:

• encouraging innovation and creativity

• heightening sensitivity to environmental changes

• encouraging the suggestion of radical and controversial ideas without

fear of punishment or ridicule

Individualized Consideration

Individualized consideration ranks among the major characteristics of

transformational leadership. The transformational leader treats each

follower as a “whole” individual rather than as an employee, and considers

the individual’s talents and levels of knowledge to decide what suits him or

her to reach higher levels of attainment.

A transformational leader applies such individual considerations by:

• listening to each follower’s needs and concerns

• expressing words of thanks or praise as a means of motivation

• making public recognition of achievements and initiatives

• making private notes of congratulations to boost self confidence

THE EARLY YEARS

• Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863.

• He was born on a farm near Dearborn, Michigan.

• He had six siblings he was

the oldest of them

• In 1879 he was 16 and left

home to work as an engineer

• Henry Ford only went to

school for eight years.

• As a young boy he was

fascinated with how things worked.

• He loved to take apart watches to

see how they functioned. Soon he

was able to put watches back together

and even fixed ones that broke.

As a young man, Ford knew that

he didn’t want to work on the farm.

He left home to work as a machinist

(a person who works with machines).

He was later hired by the Westinghouse

company to service their steam engines.

Young Engineer

• He worked in the city of Detroit as a apprentice

machinist

• Henry Divided his time between operating or

repairing steam engines and received $2.50 a

week doing so. He married Clara Bryant in 1888

and supported himself and his wife by running a

saw mill

THE INVENTING YEARS

In 1891, Ford began

working with a famous

inventor named Thomas

Edison at a company called

The Edison Illuminating Co.

Here his creativity was sparked

and he began inventing. He wanted to make a

gasoline powered engine.

FORD’S FIRST GASOLINE POWERED CAR

• In 1896, Henry Ford completed

his first vehicle that was powered

by gasoline instead of steam like

other cars of his time. This car

was called the Quadricycle.

• The car had four wire wheels and

was steered with a tiller like a

boat

• It had only two forward speeds

and no reverse. It had two

cylinders and was a 4 cycle

motor.

Ford liked the Quadricycle, but he wanted to keep

experimenting and creating cars until he made one that he

felt was perfect.

• On October 1, 1908, after lots of hard

work, Ford introduced his new car.

• It was called the Model T. It had

many important innovations—such as

the steering wheel on the left, which

every other company soon copied.

COMPANY OWNER

• The Ford Motor Co. was incorporated in 1903 with Henry as Vice President and Chief engineer. The young company was only able to produce a few cars a day.

• He wanted to make cars that the ordinary person, like you and me, could afford.

• But making one car was very expensive and took a long time to build. Only wealthy people were able to afford cars.

• While his workers worked, Ford watched them closely and noticed that they spent a lot of time getting the materials they needed to do the job. It took the workers a long time to build a car.

• Henry wanted to build more cars in a faster way. He wondered if he could find a way to help the workers to get the materials they needed quickly.

OWNER AND INNOVATOR

OWNER AND INNOVATOR

• Henry knew there had to be a faster and better way to put the cars together.

• So in 1913-1914, Henry and his engineers designed conveyor belts that ran down long tables carrying parts and pieces that needed to be put together.

• Ford’s introduction of the moving assembly belts into his plants allowed him to produce more cars in a shorter amount of time.

• Instead of the worker walking to the car, the car came to the worker who stayed in one place. Each worker had only one job to do and then the car would move on.

OWNER AND INNOVATOR

• Before the assembly line, it took 14 hours to build one car. With the assembly line, workers could build one car every 93 minutes. This meant that Ford could make more cars to sell at a cheaper price. Now many more people could afford to buy a car.

COMPANY PRIDE

With all of the cars Ford could now make and sell, he needed more

workers in his factories. He decided to pay them $5.oo an hour and

started an 8 hour workday. His workers were well-paid and well-

treated. They were proud to work at the Ford Motor Company.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Henry Ford was awarded:

• Elliott Cresson Medal in 1928

• Order of the German Eagle in 1938

Henry Ford died in his home in Michigan in 1947. He is buried in Ford

Cemetery in Detroit.

FACTORIES TODAY

• Factories today still use

the assembly line to

make large amounts of

their products quickly.

• Henry Ford’s ideas

helped to shape

American history.
