Part A.
A transactional leader would be someone who influences their followers by power and persuasion. A more “do as I say, or you are dead” leader. This style does not aim to create new leaders for the future. Instead, wants to stay in control. (i.e. Hitler, Donald Trump)
A transformational leader aims to create more leaders, and has a more open mindset that looks beyond the conservative ways of old. This type of leader has a more proactive approach, and seeks to innovate. (i.e. Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs)
Part B.
My first leader is someone we have touched on earlier this semester, Sir John A. MacDonald.

Out of those two eras, he would be more respected in transformational because he changed the way police are known today. He Transformed policing from focusing just on law to community based policing, which is every agency is transforming to today.
My second leader would be Tommy Douglas.
Thomas Clement "Tommy" Douglas, was born October 20th, 1904. He was a Scottish-born Baptist minister who became a significant Canadian social democratic politician. He was a leader of the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in 1942, and also was the seventh Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961. He was at the head of the first socialist government in North America and introduced universal public health care (Medicare), to Canada. He passed away February 24th, 1986.
I believe that Tommy Douglas displays traits of a transformational leadership style because of his work with developing universal public healthcare. At that time, Canada was skeptical about the new health care plan, and Tommy Douglas had opposition, however he endured it all. He displays the Transformational style of leadership in the sense that he was searching for a better Canada, not just a quick fix for
