Abstract

Team-oriented workplace settings generally operate with one of two driving influences superseding the other: task focus or people focus. A central theme of this chapter is how to become an effective leader and an improved manager through authentic and engaged interactions with others. This requires, first and foremost, being present. A function of a leader’s ability is to create opportunities for others that allow them to produce expanded results. This function is enhanced exponentially when the leader understands the use of transformative technology of interpersonal exchange currencies.

This chapter will focus on three main areas: (1) the distinction between leadership theories, leadership, and leaders, (2) visionary leadership as engaged leadership with team members, and (3) the implementation of engaged visionary leadership at the team and organizational level.
