ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOUR AND MANAGEMENT2
Introduction
A leader is a person who has the ability to lead a group of people by providing them
proper guidance, support and motivating them in order achieve a common organizational goal. A
leader motivates his employees in order to improve the performance of the employees and
thereby improve the overall productivity of the organization. A leader can also help in
motivating the employees for carrying out an organizational change effectively. In fact a leader
has got a major role in carrying out organizational transition. Employees can be motivated
through different methods such as better rewards and recognition, supporting a culture of open
communication and other similar techniques (Cava and Lankshear 2019). Effective teams
include all those teams which make use of open communication, better role description,
appropriate leadership, have clear objectives and that supports and trusts each other in order to
achieve the organizational objectives. Moreover effective teams can be formed by motivating the
employees to work in coordination with each other and by showing them the bigger picture. The
main aim of the paper is to discuss about role of leadership and the way effective transition
within the organization can be supported by structure and culture of the organization and also
discuss about the way effective teams can be formed through motivation of the employees. The
paper will discuss about the role of leadership at Johnsons Whixley and the way the
organizational structure and culture can lead to effective transitional change within the
organization and also the wayJohnson of Whixley builds effective teams through motivation.
Question 1: Structure, culture and leadership
Leadership refers to the ability of an individual to lead a group of people by guiding
them, motivating them and by showing them a direction towards achieving some common

organizational goals. Leadership style refers to the style adopted by the leaders in order to get
their work done while also maintaining good relationship with the employees of the organization.
The leadership that is used at Johnson of Whixley is that of team management style because the
leaders of the company aim at not only improving the overall productivity of the employees but
also aim at rewarding them continuously to keep them motivated and in fact they believe in using
a carrot and stick approach for keeping its employees motivated. The leaders of Johnson of
Whixley make use of a flexible and imaginative approach foe rewarding its employees both
permanent and temporary. Moreover the larders of the organization believe in recognizing the
work of the employees in form of different benefits being offered to them.
Moreover various hot spot regards are offered to the employees in order to recognize
their performance and to motivate them for same work. Therefore according to the grid theory of
Blake and Moutan, there are five leadership styles. These leadership styles include-
impoverished management, country club management, task management, middle of road
management and team management. Impoverished management style includes all those leaders
who are only concerned with protecting their position in the organization and therefore they do
not have any concern for either production or people. These leaders are therefore unable to get
either better performance from employees or maintain better relationships with them. Country
club leaders are the ones who pay too much attention in maintaining good relationship with the
employees and therefore fail to recognise the importance of production and are unable to get
higher production from the employees. Task management includes all those leaders whose main
focus is on getting maximum production from the employees and therefore these leaders fail to
give importance to maintaining good relationship with the employees and as a result they fail to
achieve the maximum performance from the employees.
