Analysis of the process of leadership
Leadership is a process to make the employee enable to achieve the goals. An
effective leader inspires and motivates others in order to achieve the goals of the
organisation. Leadership is essential in order to utilize the skills of the employee. Leadership

It generates enthusiasm and job satisfaction within the employee which creates a lot of
contribution in the success of the organisation. It is very important in order to direct and
guide the behaviour of the employee of the company. An effective leadership plays a vital
role in the success of the organisation (McKee, 2014, p. 81).
Critical analysis of authentic leadership
Authentic leadership described as a process of maintaining favourable and ethical
relationship between leaders and their subordinates. It deals with the concept of self-
awareness and moral values of a leader. By building trust and a favourable environment to his
workforce, an authentic leader improves the performance of employee. An authentic leader
can establish commitment, hard work and a good communication inside the organisation by
having a comfortable and transparent relationship with the employee. Authentic leaders are
those persons who collect the people together and empower them to achieve the objectives of
the organisation (P.Dickens, 2011, p. 1143). This type of leaders always gives value to the
input of his subordinates. By making an ethical foundation, the authentic leader always
develops a convenient level between his employees in order to maintain healthy relationship
inside the organisation. The leadership style of old generation like top down approach is not
fruitful in today’s scenario. Now a day employee wants their work should be recognised
inside the company. Employee also wants to feel motivated and appreciated by their
managers. In order to deal with the expectation of employee, the authentic leadership is a
perfect style to work (Avolio, et al., 2017, p. 401).

Importance of authentic leadership
Authentic leadership makes a transparent and favourable environment of work with
high level of job satisfaction. This procedure leads towards the greater outcome from the
employee. The process of authentic leadership focus over balanced processing of information
with high level of morals and self- awareness. These characteristics improves the decision
making power of employee and managers because of good decisions a high amount of
outcome is received by employee. Authentic leaders are more interested in making the
employee excel in their work rather than overpower them (Hoch, et al., 2016, p. 503). A more
powerful and favourable approach of work can be obtained with the good characteristics like
hope, happiness and enthusiasm. According to the well-being theory, the positive psychology
of employee and managers is highly beneficial for the business of the company. Authentic
leadership is describes as a root element of effective leadership which helps in maintaining a
healthy environment for work (K Xiong, 2016, p. 831). An authentic leader always supports
his employee with the help of his knowledge and experience. He not only maintains a
favourable environment for work but also he makes his employee feel energetic and satisfied
with respect to their work. It can be said that authentic leadership is very important in the
success of the organisation with the help of full support and contribution of their subordinates
(H Leroy, 2015, p. 1679).
Analysis and relationship of LMX (Leader Member Exchange) within organisation
The LMX approach is based up on a two sided relationship between leaders and
subordinates. According to this approach, there is an exchange relationship of thoughts, ideas
and experiences between leaders and employee. The quality of leader-member -exchange
relationship decides the effectiveness of the leadership style (Shim, 2018, p. 445). The
development and establishment of a favourable working environment is based on the
exchange relationship of leader and other members of the company. An effective
communication skill is highly required to maintain a healthy relationship among the staff
members of the company. In this dynamic environment of work, the maintenance of
relationship between employee and leaders is quite difficult (Gregory, 2019, p. 702). The
LMX theory is a relationship oriented theory in which the focus in on the development of
relationships between leaders and their subordinates (Townsend, 2000, p. 459). Leaders focus
over the discussion with their subordinates and focus on the feedback provided by the
employee. Involvement of the employee feedback is one of the major attribute of this theory.
