MANAGING ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADING PEOPLE3
Introduction:
As discussed by Dopson et al., (2019) the need of effective leadership is increasing in
a rapid manner due to the high ranges of complexity in the contemporary business
environment. Daniëls, Hondeghem & Dochy (2019) put stress on the fact that leadership is all
about the way of working with the people and to do new things and thereby sustain in the
business environment which is changing in a rapid manner. This paper will shade light on my
personal reflection regarding the complex leadership problem, which I have faced in my
workplace. Frameworks of effective leadership will be discussed in the paper in order to
mitigate the leadership related problem which I have faced in my workplace.

According to this article, it is to say leadership should be the strategic priority for the
employees in the organisation. From this article, I have learned that leadership is the way of
keeping the staffs motivated and respond to any kind of given situation positively. Leadership
involves significant types of responsibility which intends to accomplish a particular aim by
aligning all the relevant resources properly and thereby ensure the fact that the internal
process of the organisation is running in a cohesive and coherent manner.

Based on this article, it can be said that the main aim of leadership in an organisation
is to build the capability among the human resources and thus strengthen the organisational
productivity. According to the Great Man theory of leadership, the great leaders are born
and not made by a given situation (Subramony et al., 2018). It is worthy to note in this
context that leaders are destined to apply the leadership style in order to mitigate any kind of
given situation with utmost efficiency. Based on the Great Man theory of leadership, it can be
said that a person is born without any kind of specific traits of leadership.

development. Human Resource Management Review, 29(3), 305-315.
According to this journal article, leadership is all about the way of building human
capital, which is the key of amplifying organisational productivity. On the basis of
transactional leadership theory, it can be said that the leaders should acknowledge the
individual consideration along with the development need of individual people. Thus, in the
given situation, it is the prime responsibility of the leaders to assess the individual
weaknesses and preferences, which is restricting the people to show positive attitude towards
change. Leadership is the key factor of keeping the staffs inspired and influenced to be
directed towards appropriate direction.

S. (2019). Leadership development in Higher Education: A literature review and
implications for programme redesign. Higher Education Quarterly, 73(2), 218-234.
Based on the above article, it can be said that leadership is the key factor of guiding a
the large business by moving the staffs towards proper direction. According to the
Democratic style of Leadership, the leaders should prioritise the empowerment of the staffs
to raise their voice and concern. This style of leadership shows that, it is important for the
