Through analysis of ten Australian case studies, this RIRDC study has identified a new leadership style to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of Australian agri-food value chains: the transfirmational leader.
A model of this new transfirmational leadership style includes nine key elements: championing communication, passion and clear vision, strategic focus, collaborative orientation, relationship building, developing leadership in others, networking and mentoring, seeking complimentary skills within the supply chain, and nurturing a supportive culture.
