A leader with transformational objectives faces better odds, and an inspirational style is more likely to find responsive followers and to make their role more relevant. For example, George W. Bush used the crisis conditions after September 11, 2001, in the service of an assertion of executive power, as well as to invade Iraq.
在这样的局面中，行动的弹性更大。有着变革型目标的领袖的机会更大，鼓动型风格更可能找到积极响应的追随者并让他们扮演更重要的角色。比如，小布什就利用了2001年9月11日之后的危机环境要求表现实力并出兵伊拉克。
