Leading Business
Organization

A systematic understanding of leadership theories
• I have analysed that the two questions used to ask themselves includes that
“Am I doing the right thing for the right person”?
“Do I spend enough time with my team members”?
• I have analysed that there are several key aspects included in the process of leadership used in
the organization. Some of aspects are:
Transparency: As when a leader is transparent, the organization manage several
challenges occurred in the business.
The trust which includes as an important principle of leadership process.
• I have analysed that several leadership theories manage the overall aspects of the organization
and maintain leadership in a proper way (Dick, 2015). The main leadership theory used mainly in
the business organization is transformational leadership that is one of the best leadership
theories.

Ability to evaluate the contribution of the leaders
• The organization mission and vision are two important aspects of the organization and I have e
experienced that by mission and vision the organization achieve overall objectives of the business
(Malos, 2012). The mission defines the company business, its objectives and its approach in a proper
manner. The vision is related with the future aspects.
• The individuals of an organization also includes in the mission and vision of the business. I have
experienced that mission and vision are two important concepts used in the organization in which
individuals also involved (Owens, et al., 2015). The individuals communicate the purpose of the
organization to stakeholders and it informs the strategy to the development.
• I have experienced that leaders involved in implementing the mission and vision aspects. As the good
mission and vision of the business can only be made by the good leaders and this improves the overall
aspects of the leadership.

Ability to apply leadership
theories
• Several leadership strategies are involved in the change management aspect of the organization
(Quigley and Hambrick, 2015). I have analysed that transformational leadership is one of the best
processes that is used in change management.
• Change leadership is one of the important leadership processes used in the organization. It is the
ability to influence others by the proper vision of the change. I have analysed that leadership
achieves success in getting the proper change in business.
• I have analysed that the organization potential is also important in the proper management of the
business (De Castella and Byrne, 2015). The organization potential is made by the proper
determinant of the organization and it is responsible for providing high productivity to the
business.

Evaluate range of motivational theories
• The leadership process is also maintained by leadership theories. I have determined that
motivational theory is the process in which leaders work to motivate the employees so that
become more focused towards the work of the business.
• I have analysed that the motivational theories include in two categories that involved intrinsic and
extrinsic. These categories are used to define the two types of motivational theories that are
different.
• The contemporary term is different in the aspect of the employee motivation as the
contemporary leadership is an important part and I have analysed that equity theory is included
in the contemporary term of motivation (Klauda and Guthrie, 2015).

Potential leadership
• This style is too effective in the organization as this defines the overall
potential of the leaders as the leadership potential is too effective in
the business and this defines the new responsibilities of the leaders.
• I have many strengths as a potential leader and these strengths are
used in the overall process of the organization (Arnold, et al., 2015).
The main strengths of a potential leader include situational
awareness, self-awareness, effective negotiation skills and conflict
resolution skills.
