I do not always make sure things flow smoothly. Transactional leaders are concerned with everything flowing smoothly. I am not always consistent with this theory. I can at times work in a very chaotic way or will allow things to throw me off course. I have a twice-yearly project that I oversee. It happens every February and July and I know this. In February, I forgot about the project even though everyone had already forwarded me their pieces of the task. I was then forced to work long days to get the project done prior to our payroll being done and caused others in our department to have to wait for me to complete what should and could have been done weeks earlier. I am not one who easily doles out punishment. Transactional leadership theory
