Leader in a Workplace
Implications of Effective Leadership in the Workplace
Introduction
Theories on workplace provide different insights on how leaders work in an effective manner (Alcorn, 2003: 106). Leadership styles and methods differ from each other, but effective leadership improves procedures of organizational diagnosis and communication within the workplace for the development of better and more reliable business performance. An effective leader is not confined or judged by styles and approaches used, but the impact and result of that leadership style.
Effective leaders face fast-changing workplace, which is directly or indirectly affected by factors including new technology and innovation (Weaver, 1997: 1). Skilled and effective leaders work for the improvement of the quality and quantity on how members coordinate. The surging global competition and rapid deployment of advanced technologies necessitate organizations to reconfigure in the goal of remaining vibrant and competitive.
For consideration, the goal of leadership is individual in first instance, but as time processes, leadership results to team or organizational impact. As discussed, changing workplace results to organizational change, which requires transition, wherein human aspect takes high priority (Outward Bound USA & Chatfield, 2007: 272).
Workplaces that have effective leadership, whether transformational, motivational, or any other types, work smoothly in coordinating actions. Effective leaders are important in goal achievement, expansion and development of the workplace.
Objectives
Leadership varies across society, organizational culture and background (Nelson & Quick, 2007: 291). For this reason, the clear understanding of leadership is not based on sanctified principles and standards rules. Leadership can be considered as an art so important within the workplace that it affects the overall direction on achievement of goals and objectives.
