Currently the organization is seeing a lack of trust between the
management staff and the employees as well as a lack of recognition.
This can be seen in multiple sections, including working conditions,
training & development, job satisfaction, and company & strategy.
The two major leadership behaviors that the organization needs to
focus on are enabling others to act and encourage the heart.
Enabling others to act focuses on creating a sense of community and
trust within the group. While, encouraging the heart focuses on
celebrating every success, even small ones.
There are many different leadership skills that can be used in the
organizational leader's toolkit to develop these leadership behaviors
including communication, integrity, and vision. Communication is key
in making sure everyone is on the same page as well as showing
appreciation to those who deserve this. Integrity allows for all of the
employees to know their leader is to be trusted and has the good of
the company at their core while making ethical decisions that affect
everyone. Vision is key in having everyone strive for the same goal
and to feel like there is clear leadership that people can follow
(Wilson, 2020).
Improvements in these recommended leadership skills and behaviors
will improve the organizational performance due to creating a
working environment that recognizes success and open between
management and employees. Good communication allows for
everyone to know what is expected of them, what the leadership is
striving for, and can be used to give praise to those who deserve this.
For example, a news letter can be written up once a quarter that
showcases individuals that have gone above and beyond in their line
of work. This gives recognition that the employees are feeling there
is a lack of. Leadership having integrity allows for people to trust
their leadership and strive to work towards their goals because it
gives merit to their beliefs. This makes the employees want to
continue to work for the company due to the trust in their visions. All
of these allow the employees to work to their best abilities and want
to achieve the most successes for the company.
