ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY AND LEADERSHIP
Personal leadership behaviors
The development of self-awareness of leader not only improves the confidence of the
leader but also improves the performance of the organization in which the leader is working. The
self-awareness in a leader possess a good amount of understanding and also creates a feeling of
trust among the employees of the organization and the leaders. The self-awareness quality in a
leader also helps them in becoming humble and understand the various weakness and strength
they possess and work towards their improvement (Showry & Manasa, 2014).
The belief of a leader is very important when it comes to the aspect of self-awareness.
The self-awareness of a leader depends largely on what the leader believes and whether they
have enough confidence to improve themselves and whether they are able to improve themselves
on a daily basis. Self-awareness in a leader happens slowly and it takes a certain span of time
before a leader can be a better version of themselves. Belief and ethical standard of a leader is
very important in improving their self-awareness (Sturm, Taylor, Atwater & Braddy, 2014). The
various ethical standard which is followed by the leader helps them in understand the action of
the employees who is working under the leader. If the leader are ethical then they can easily
identify the various unethical actions which are being conducted in the workplace.
Leading a team by motivating each individual
A better collaboration among the team members needs to be conducted so that they feel
interested in working as a team. Every suggestions from each of the members of the team
needs to be addressed and their thoughts must be taken into account. Unproductive meetings
need to be avoided as meetings which are not needed wastes a lot of time for the employees. The
priority of the organization must be clearly explained to the employees so that they can clearly

understand what needs to be done to reach the mission and the vision of the organization (Hu &
Liden, 2015). A consistent salary must be paid to all the team members so that they feel
motivated enough to work for the betterment of the company. The good members of the team
must be retained as they are the backbone of the team and the leaders can depend on them when
the time comes. The environment of the office must be aptly maintained so that the team
members finds it easier to conduct their business. Promotion of happiness must be conducted in a
business scenarios and the employees of the team must be happy of the work they are doing. If
the members of the teams are happy then they will be able to do their work in a proper manner
and there are increased chances that their performance will be enhanced (Wang, Kim & Lee,
2016). The aspect of self-development must be facilitated in the team as it will help the
employees improve.
Managing team in a geographically dispersed context
Steps must be taken to ensure that the right people are hired for the team. In a
geographical dispersed state the members who are selected for the team must be hired in a proper
way so that the team can be managed in a proper way. The performance of the whole team will
be depending on the potential of each and every members of the team. All the hired members of
the team must be eligible in working within their potential and must be self-motivated so that
they do not have problem in working in remote areas (Nesheim & Gressgård, 2014).
The purpose of the team must be properly explained and the mission and vision of the
team must be explained in a proper way. A common goal must be set for all the members of the
team. A proper team charter must be made for the members of the team so that they can all have
the same goal and they work towards implementing their steps in working as a team in reaching
the set target. A strong communication must exist in the team and the leader of the team. All the

various channels of the team must be kept open so that a regular and clear communication with
the employees of the company can be conducted. A better team dynamics must be present
between the team members and it must be ensured that they are comfortable in working with
each other and all of them have the same idea of working towards the goal of the company
(Dulebohn & Hoch, 2017).
