1. Introduction
Leading and managing the organizational resources is the most effective factor in
pursuing the business successfully. Effective leadership style and orientation in managerial
responsibilities are aligned with the process. In case of man management leaders are the most
influential people in managing the workplace and provide ahighly productive level for the
company. There are some cases where organizational failure is persisted and in those situation
leaders’ involvement will make some effective change in the organization so that a reverse
consequence will get from this (Goetsch and Davis 2014). The workforce management and build
theinterpersonal skill to develop a relationship is the basic idea that a leader persists. In case of
conflict situation or organizational loss, situational persuasion has come to save the situation for
employees and company. These kinds of leaders are appreciated by the management and
employees also. Communication, team bonding, cross-cultural awareness, diversified
significance and long-termdevelopment for the organization are the most acquired thing that
organization asked from a leader(Menzel2012). Change in ethical leadership process and
organizational development is the most important aspect of building to the organizational
perspective in the next level. Innovation in the leadership and implementing process are also a
concerning matter of working process. In that case, production level will increase as innovation
has come up on that situation organized fellowship with employees’ has been created by the
leader.
1.1 Aim and objective of the report
The report consists of managing organizational resources and leadership theories to
develop change management in the organization. Through the case study, Co A is a heavy

5LEADING AND MANAGING ORGANIZATIONAL RESOURCES
engineering company, and their leadership theories are not agile. There are not any perception
belongs to the leader to motivate employees for their objectives. A setback has been confronted
by Co A in September 2017, and Co B acquired the Co A. This is the major setback for the
company A, as the company is lacking from their production and employees' turnover ratio is
high. In that case, quality works are not extracted from the company (Renz and Herman 2016).
Staff development and people innovation process are initiated by Co B, and that is the reason
they have high chances of business merger and acquisition. From the live project concept,
change leadership strategy and analyzing the organizational culture has been discussed. The
theories are always aligned with the better form of the leadership process that will help to
develop aglobal workforce. Talented people also need to maintain the production rate, and that is
the reason efficient employees are required by the management and leaders.
2. Critical evaluation of live project
Evaluation of live project consists of the three main aspects of organizational culture. The
first one is changed in leadership process; the second one identifies the change management in
the organization, and the third section highlights the finance and acquisition protocols or
business undertaking. In this case, Co B has the good organizational view, and they have
situation leader, who decides for the benefit of the company (Kinicki et al. 2014). Quality
management is another perspective that included in this lie project, and quality needs to be
perfect for the organization to grow and leadership mentality analyzes the quality also. There are
some challenges for the leader, and all the challenges need to overcome to develop a productive
organization. Co B has the potential leadership style to merge up or to acquire the Co A, whether
Co A has not had that.

Organization fit is a concept that analyses the best understanding process in blended
organizational culture and ideas and creativity of a leader can deliver more knowledge about
thefact. In theglobal market, leaders need to take social responsibilities as well, and that creates
complex situation also. Successful global leaders must enhance their capabilities to handle the
complication of adiverse community, understand and esteem differences, make necessary
modification in the leadership, and be prepared for opportunities and confrontation that come
unaided (Zoogah,Peng and Woldu 2015). Group dynamics and people innovation process can be
identified by the live project, and that will resultin leadership development process. Leaders must
motivate employees for the good productivity. In case of Co A, this process is not implemented
properly as it would like to be. However, better management has shown from Co B, and this is
the transformational style of business that they have implemented in case of acquiring the
business of Co A. Vision. Risk taking, toughness,and future visibility all these aspects achieved
by Co B to take over Co A to develop their marketing acquisition.
2.1 Leadership theories and management process
Transformational leadership theory
The theory states the process of interaction and motivates employees so that they perform
in a right manner and organization will get a productive performance. The theory is initiated by
most of the leaders to encourage their employees so that a good bonding will be evolved and a
legal group has been formed through the process. Transformation of leader also provides the
reason for sustainability of the organization.

In case of commanding in any situation goals and value of the job roles and they're
bringing harmony in the organization are also shown through the theory. In case of stable
leadership process, this theory can be impacted by the situation, and that mitigates all the
confusion regarding the collective works (Hogg, Van Knippenberg and Rast2012). Organization
benefits are the gained through the theory by applying the process in the case of asocial contract
where employees do not proceed in the common objectives, and then leaders have to take this
kind of operational strategy to drive them in the legitimate objective and goals.
Autocratic leadership theory
This leadership approach is one of the dictatorships that employees are bound to do what
leader has said to them. In case of forming an organization, this leadership process is important
to implement. At the time of formation, leaders have to set a target and then allocate people for

8LEADING AND MANAGING ORGANIZATIONAL RESOURCES
each segment so that every aspect of the organizational development process will run through in
a radical process (Samad 2012). Leaders have the decision making power, and that is the reason;
employees inputs and suggestions are not considered by this kind of leaders. However, in case of
building the process in the organization and to set aim and objective of the organization,
primarily autocratic leadership is important and relevant for the company, but not for the entire
situation. Bonding and relation are making agenda diminish by this process, and that will effect
on the workplace motivation, satisfaction of employees.
Behavioural leadership theory
Behavioural theory is consists of leaders' behaviour or mannerism, to focus on the
mental, psychological and sociological form of providing support to employees. This process
provides a whole new perspective on abusiness that evaluates the cause-effectrelationship
between employees and management.
Figure 2: Behavioral leadership theory

(Source:Northouse 2018)
In that case, leaders are divided into two sections - one is those leaders who have a
concerned view for employees and noticed all the essential problem and mitigation process of
employees, and another isthe identical leader who will follow the form of leadership and its
possible aspects that were implemented earlier also (Northouse 2018). Behaviour in the
organization is the most valuable aspect of maintaining employees' satisfaction and also
enhancing the production ratio to gain a better market position of the company.
Situational leadership theory
This leadership style and theory consist of certain situations. The process signifies that
there is no such right way of maintaining leadership; rather situation is the controlling factor that
moulds a leader to make possible steps beneficial to the company (Dinh et al. 2014). Maximum
performance rate can be gained by this process, and the will highlight the elements of leadership
aspects that a leader needs in any different condition.

(Source:Dinh et al. 2014)
The strategic situation can be implemented in most cases, and that will implement a
rescue generating process also. Co A can implement this theory if their leaders do not believe in
asevere form of theory, which is not at all applicable in this situation. Rather, situational
understanding and analysis the problem situation is the most appropriate form of leadership can
be implemented in this situation.
Managing the organization
At first, some of the objectives need to revise through the transactional leadership
process; then situation leadership process needs to be implemented in Co A, which not at all
come in case of dissolve situation. Strategic fit and organizational culture disturb through the
process, and that will initiate the loss in Co A, whereas the success factor of change management
and leadership process will encourage the possible understanding of Co B to merge with the
company and evaluate the best acquisition policy for the company (Parris and Peachey 2013).
Efficient employees of Co A will come in Co B after the acquisition process, and that will help
in case of better production rate and success rate of the management.
2.2 Contemporary approaches to leadership
Leadership approaches are depending on the five effective factors, and all these aspects
are highlighting the best leadership approach to the organization. Individual competency is the
first factor that comes in this approach. Leaders have the different mentality of flow with the
situation. Team skill is another aspect that needed by the leader to develop the performances.
Team bonding is essential for the management as in such cases most of the determination and

11LEADING AND MANAGING ORGANIZATIONAL RESOURCES
organizational development issues are depending on the production outcomes (Antonakis and
House 2014). Leaders need to have to achieve this ability to stimulate other employees to high
performance. Transformation leadership theory is the most appropriate theory for this session
and leaders has to focus on the resources they have.
Figure 4: Contemporary approaches to leadership
(Source:Antonakis and House 2014)
This is one of the charismatic aspects of presenting the theory, and their behavioural
change is important in that case. The commitment, confidence,and demonstration in the business
are the main aspect of this kind of leader, and that will inspire other people and motivate them to
deliver good work. Intellectual stimulation is another factor that transformational leader will
have and the showcase the compelling vision of the leader to manage the situation. Leader-
member exchange theory is another aspect of thecontemporary approach to leadership, and
