Organizational Leader

Abstract

Organizational leadership is specifically about individuals operating in organizational environments and their role as leaders in those environments. The skills of an organizational leader are slightly different from those of leaders in non-organizations. Organizational leaders are constrained by rules, regulations, and processes. This type of leader's value is that they understand organizational culture and traditions. This type of leader influences employees through their work including coaching, mentoring, and development skills that occur within competency models. The organizational leader is the organizational agent who influences behaviors that lead to organizations being able to achieve their desired outcomes.
