From the Paper:

"Without the inclusion of an effective leader workers lack the motivation to complete tasks in a supportive team manner. This is evident because without a leader there is no individual that is consistently working to achieve the needs of the workers, nor anyone to ask as a mediator between management and staff. When effective leaders are not present within the organization there is also a communications issue within the organization because singular employees have no one else to turn to but management, and this often leads to feelings of fear, insecurity, or a belief that management will not be concerned with worker's problems, only organizational goals. Additionally, there may be tensions between management and the workforce because management is generally unavailable to the workers as the run the day-to-day business of the organization."
