Finally, the motivation of the transformational leader is, by definition, to transform. However, when the organization does not need transformation and people are happy as they are, then such a leader will be frustrated or will make forced transformations such as leaders in times of war or politicians in times of crisis, calling for reform despite the resistance of citizens. Thus, the leader loses credibility if he does not know how to transform his own leadership.

Transformational leadership can only be appropriate under conditions of divergent opinions. In converging conditions, leaders must be in harmony with current objectives and practices, accommodate to varying degrees, rather than challenge or question the existing situation. Therefore, a transformational leader owes his or her survival to the creation or maintenance of cleavages.

Their unwavering commitment helps to calm the doubts of members, especially in dark or uncertain times, when some may wonder if the vision is really achievable. If people don't believe they can succeed, then their efforts will falter. In a prophylactic metaphor, the transformational leader vaccinates his troops against infections that potentially lead to disaffection. To do this, it uses a form of symbolic rhetoric to maintain motivation, using, for example, ceremonies, rituals and other cultural symbols.

Transformational leaders are always visible among their troops and seek, through their attitude and actions, to set an example of how everyone should behave. They set an example and are always at the heart of the action. In order to motivate their people, they use ceremonies, rituals, and other cultural symbolism. They also make continuous efforts to motivate and mobilize their supporters, constantly touring their troops, listening to them, appeasing them and sparking their enthusiasm.
