The Role of Leadership Improving Organizational Best Practices in a Global Firm
Internal and external processes would ensure performance of companies against other competing firms depending on how they are structured and coordinated. A sound strategy with sound leadership is able to provide direction and necessary measures appropriately to guide an organization (Katou, 2015). Organizational leadership creates a suitable environment and climate that will ensure best practices are adopted within an organization as a guiding principle to its functions and general operation. A leader must be able to understand all factors surrounding an organization and the environment it operates in and the impact on performance outcomes of the group (Hai, & Sherif, 2011). Establishing how leadership plays a role in improving best practices and consequently the performance of an organization will enable deeper understanding within the context of ensuring the effectiveness of processes within a firm and better performance. It is possible to relate the critical role played by organizational leadership in molding organizational behavior and ensuring maintenance of best practices and standards (Ng & Sears, 2012). Prospective and incumbent leaders of global firms can understand more on improving the role of ensuring proper practices and performance in an organization.
The study on leadership and organizational practices is one that has been in existence for an extended period. There have always been efforts to understand the link between organizational practices and the leadership, and on how relationships influence performance (Ruiz, Ruiz, and Martinez, 2011). There has been effort by scholars to establish and relate how types of leadership moderate organizational performance (Katou, 2015). Indeed, there has been continual thought that the kind of leadership directly influences employee performance, which then reflects on the performance of the firm. There are frequent affirmations that different styles of leadership influence organizational practices through direction and employee relationships.
