Leadership and Organizational Culture

Paper Summary:

This report centers on three major concepts of effective leadership: the fundamental conditions and practices necessary for corporate leadership to be effective; the significance of a company's organizational culture and its impact upon, and result of, leadership style; and how different leadership approaches foster the process of organizational cultural change.

From the Paper:

"A discussion in reference to organizational culture cannot go unreported without reference to organizational cultural assessment. Some of the more influential assessment variables are the level risk taking behavior, rewards and punishment, status quo vs. aggressive programming, and employee participation within the corporation. Not availing oneself of information derived through a thorough assessment of the climate and organizational culture of an organization, management will ultimately fail in any endeavor to effectuate corporate change. Policy makers and leaders can only re-shape a business environment when critical evaluation is applied to the people who work in the organization, as well as the viability of present management systems, policies and procedures."
