Learning Organization 1“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”Leadership refers to the approach of a person or organization to lead or guide the other people.The process involves characteristics traits under which are capable to analyze a clear vision andwork in accordance with that to gain success in the market. further, it can be said that a trueleader is a person who knows the path which they wants to follow; take corrective action plan tofollow that goal and then subsequently lead their subordinates as well in that path of success.According to John C. Max leadership process involves three attributes i.e. knowing, going andshowing. “The essay will provide an overview of the three major aspects of leadership(knowing, going, and showing) in terms of organizational, social and personal learning.”The organization learning theory with respect to leadership provides a link between the twoaspects of organization which are transformational leadership and organization innovation. Thetheory is leads to innovation in an organization with the aid of transformational leadership(Jones, & Jones, 2010). It is the duty of a leader to exert activities in an efficient manner to fulfillthe objective of the organization. Further the theory states the relationship betweenorganizational learning and transformational leadership. Such leaders are those who provideextraordinary influence to people which make them to positively transform their outlook towardsdifferent scenarios. A leader always focuses on implementation of process which initiatesinnovation and lead them to stand out of the box. Thus, it can be said that a leader always layspositive impact on the innovation process of the organization. However as per my perspective a person cannot take other people with them on a road which isunknown to them. Firstly the leader needs to know where they are willing to take theirsubordinates with them. A leader shall have adequate knowledge of the path which they are

Thus, to sum upwith the above statements it shall be concluded that in order to reach the goal a leader shall haveadequate knowledge of the path which they are going to follow. In an organizational structure theemployees will retrospect the path which the leader is asking them to follow. In that case theleader must be capable enough to solves the queries of the employees and initiate them to followthe path decided by the leader. In accordance to the societal norms a leader shall always lookafter the growth and profit of the society on a whole, they shall not work for their personal gains.Thus, to shall be noted that the qualities of a leader are gradually initiated in an individual withtime; such characteristics help them in making an identified position in the market (Argote,2012).For instance, in an organization, the manager designated on the position of a leader researches ona new marketing plan which can initiate growth of the company but for that the employees of thecompany have to sacrifice their shares allotted them. The employees can willingly surrendertheir shares but for that they need to have unanimous trust on the activities of their leader. In thiscase they will also question the leader about future activities and negative outcomes as well, theleader need to gain the trust of their employees then only they will agree to follow the leader andthe leader will be called a leader because a leader who is unable to convince their employeesfor their decision is not a good leader (Easterby-Smith, & Lyles, 2011).Further moving towards another aspect of leadership which a leader shall attain is that the leadershall follow himself the path first which they want their team to follow. This step is mandatoryfor a leader to follow because if the leader will not follow the path which they want their team tolead then they won’t be able to solve the issues faced by the team. It would become easier for the
