(3) Laissez – Faire – Involvement (Pearson chi-square .008)

Here the leader abdicates responsibility, postpones decisions, gives no feedback, readily unavailable and makes little effort to help followers satisfy their needs. It is lack of caring and not involvement. This is the least effective of the qualities of transactional leadership.

Identity in Christ in relation to contingent reward did show a strong negative statistical relationship. In other words, the leader acting from their identity in Christ will always be moved to be involved and active in the leadership influence process with followers.

In conclusion, the leader appropriates the power that drives Identity Transformational Leadership through prayer. Paul said, “I pray that He may grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man.” (Ephesians 3:16)

Without the power of prayer operative in the leader’s life, it is impossible to become an identity-driven transformational leader of the future.
