Introduction
The organization mission of different service organizations and the leadership practices facilitates effective delivery of services to the people. The mission ensures that the organization takes part in the authorized activities without having to engage itself in activities which might act as barriers to its success. Leadership practices used in different organization determines the manner in which the organization is managed therefore the time need for it to achieve its objectives. (Burke, 2017)
The leadership practices and the mission should enable the organization to come up with effective decisions which might lead to effective delivery of services to the members of the public. For the organizations in a given country to work objectively for the sake of satisfying the needs of the members of the public, the mission statement should focus on the services delivery to the people without subjecting them to any form of payment for the services provided at a given time.
Organizational mission and leadership practices
As a result of the ability of the American Red Cross organization to obey the mission put in place to government its operations; the mission has enabled the organization to determine its direction in an effective manner, it has again led to the ability of the organization to focus more on its future, the mission has been providing the organization with a template for which different decisions are made, it formed the basis for the organization’s alignment, it welcomed helpful changes in the organization, the strategy of the organization is shaped accordingly and hence the it facilitates the evaluation and the improvement of the organization thus ensuring that its objectives and goals are achieved within the stipulated time.
Due to the ability of the American Red Cross organization to use the leadership practices and mission effectively, the organizational outcomes and leadership viability have been shaped through the engagement in quality decision making which ensure that the organization takes part in the authorized activities under control of the set policies.
As a result of the ability of the American Red Cross organization to focus on its mission and the leadership practices, the employees have been encouraged to work towards the organization’s directions. The employees are always reminded why the organization exists therefore that motivates them to work for the success of the organization.
The leaders in the organization ensure that the employees work for the sake of satisfying the needs of the members of the public as a way of keeping to the directions of the organization. When the direction is followed, an effective destination is achieved and therefore the members of the public are provided with quality services. (Bryson, 2018)
On the other hand, the leaders and the missions shape the organizational outcomes and leadership viability by ensuring that the employees focus on the future of the organization my coming up with a vision statement which controls them to work for the success of their organization. As a result of the mission, the employees have been informed of the nature of activities to be carried out in each day therefore reducing the employees’ laxity in the organization.
The success of the organizational outcomes and leadership viability is facilitated by its ability to welcome helpful changes in the employees’ structure, aligning the employees effectively and coming up with quality strategies which enable the organization to actively take part in the authorized activities. After a short period of time, the managers of the organization ensure that evaluations are carried out for the sake of bringing about some improvements in the manner in which services are provided to the people in the country.
However, the leaders’ practices and the missions shape the organizational outcomes and leadership viability through engagement of the members of the public in the transformational activities of the organization. The people are consulted on different aspects which facilitate the success of the organization.
Empirical studies
As far as my leadership theory is concerned, current empirical studies such as surveys, discussions, ethnographical field study, example application, Meta-analysis and experience report ensure that the service leadership theory in the organization is addressed in an effective manner. On matters related to the leadership theory, the current empirical studies give out enough information on what should be done by the leaders in the organization to facilitate the growth of the organization.
The American Red Cross organization has been incorporating the results from different organization undertaking similar leadership for the purposes of delivering quality services to the members of the public. The organization makes effective use of the empirical studies therefore it has been able to satisfy the needs of the people in different countries accordingly.
The success of the organization was achieved as a result of its ability to reduce discriminations during the delivery of the services. This has again been contributed by its ability to carry out different studies therefore reducing such cases which might have brought a big blow to the success of the organization. (Northouse, 2018)
