PEOPLE, CULTURE AND CONTEMPORARY LEADERSHIP2
Introduction
People, culture and leadership are the three essential elements of any contemporary
organisation. Effective management of these three elements results in increased productivity for
the organisation as well as its stakeholders. The people in a company usually determine the
success as well as failure for the company. They are the most important asset for a company as
they determine the level of experience for the customer. An organisation culture is comprised of
their believes, ideologies values and principles. Organisational culture controls the behaviour of
employees as well as those who are external partners. The leadership style of a company can
motivate its people as well as affect their morale badly. As researched by Hsieh and Liou (2018)
collaborative leaders believe in teamwork even in extreme cases such as in decision making. On
the other hand, autocratic leaders set hard rules and ensure that they receive the anticipated
following from its people. This study is also related to the three elements of an organisation as
discussed in the section. The study talks about the performance, the culture and employee
engagement in context to Xero Limited.
Performance Related Initiatives
According to the research of Cletus et al. (2018) diversity is an important part of
organisational culture in modern organisations. A diversified workforce is more competitive than
the workforce that lacks diversity. Through the facilitation of diversity programs, organisations
increase their chances of recruiting the best talent. They have access to more people as they can
expand their outreach to those people who were normally inaccessible or thought to be
unimportant for many companies.
