1. Background
Leadership and organizational culture are two intertwined aspects that have been the subject of
extensive research. Culture has a significant impact on an organization, determining a variety of
elements and practices, as well as a set of norms and beliefs that employees adhere to or observe
in their daily activities. xxx defined organizational culture as the values and beliefs that have
existed in the firm for a longer period of time and are influential in shaping workers' beliefs and
attitudes toward completing their tasks. The broader environment in which all of the leadership's
actions and functions are developed is referred to as the organization's culture. In most cases,
leadership is built to sustain an organization's set of practises and ideas, but while this is true,
there is still room for debate about the two components of leadership and organisational culture.
introduction
The right use of technology in the field of education can have a lot of advantages. The use of
technology improves professional growth, curriculum changes, learning from home, and
teaching the skills needed for a successful job in today's technology-based world. As a matter of
fact, if educational technology specialists didn't act as strong advocates, it would be very difficult
to use technology in a school system, a local school site, or a classroom in the right way. To get
the most out of technology, experts need to take on leadership roles and promote the use of
technology in the classroom. This essay will look at how effective leadership in the field of
educational technology can help people learn more or have better educational experiences. This
test is broken up into two parts. First, I'll look at effective leadership by looking at the roles and
skills that go with it. Then, I'll look at the most common theories, models, and other discourses in

2. the literature on leadership. Second, I'll look at how school administrators use technology to help
students improve their grades.
The Rationale of the Study
Managers and corporate executives, as well as employees, view culture and leadership as
intrinsic elements of the business structure. Culture has a significant impact on how leadership
affects operations and daily activities. In the same way, leadership paves the way for the
successful management and guidance of businesses. As a consequence, this research will be of
great interest to corporate leaders and executives at all levels of the organisation, with a special
focus on the evaluation of culture and its effects on leadership, particularly in the corporate
environment.
Defining Effective Leadership: The Role and Skills of a Technology Leader
Educational technologists may be allocated a wide range of tasks because they are frequently
recognised as the major educational technology leader within an educational environment. The
manner that effective technology leadership is defined and presented in the field literature best
represents the function that these leaders play. In comparison to fundamental organisational
management, the function of an educational technology leader within a school is distinctive. For
example, all leaders are supposed to be responsible for "shaping the culture of a school," as
stated by xxx (p. 104). A technology leader, on the other hand, has a distinct job from that of a
regular school leader or administrator. They define the position of the educational technology
leader as someone who integrates collaborative technology into the school and classrooms, such
as wikis and online forums. It indicates that the role of a technology leader in a school has
become more focused and more demanding. They have to keep the school's digital resources and

3. how they are used up to date so that students get better, more current learning. As a school
leader, this is a very important job that requires people who not only know good leadership skills
but also know how to use technology in the classroom.
After identifying the primary role of an educational leader in technology, which is to integrate
technology into the classroom, it's time to consider the leadership characteristics required in this
rapidly evolving field. Educational technology leaders hold a unique position, necessitating a
concentration on two distinct sets of competencies: organisational leadership skills, as well as
skills related to technology, xxx came up with a way to figure out what skills an educational
technology leader needs. This method, called the three-skill method, is based on previous
research. People who are good leaders, according to this model, spend a lot of time working on
three different skills, like technical skills, human skills, and conceptual abilities, depending on
where they work in an organisation. We can assume that, while technology leaders must have
human and conceptual qualities, their primary focus is on technical capabilities when we apply
this conceptual framework from xxx to our research on educational technology. As a result,
knowing current technology and having the abilities to explain and model the effective use of
technology is a necessity for becoming an effective technology advocate inside an organisation.
There must be a technology leader at a local school who knows a lot about useful technology that
can help solve problems, like giving teachers professional development or using technology to
improve classroom instruction.
Impact of organizational culture on technology
The cultural characteristics of a company are critical for creativity. The culture of innovation,
according to xxx, is an atmosphere in which numerous factors, including as assumptions, beliefs,

4. and values, are present in order to produce new ideas and demonstrate collaboration and
innovation. risk-taking, vision, Mission, communication, competitiveness, leadership, teamwork,
trust, cooperation, organisational structure, organisational learning, dedication, and time are
some of the cultural attributes that have been identified as encouraging innovation in the
literature. The positive relationship between company culture and educational innovation is also
highlighted by xxx.
These issues in higher education must be turned into possibilities, and an organisational culture
of differentiation, creativity, and diversity, as well as participative management, visionary
leadership, and the entrepreneurial concept, must be established. The environment in which an
organisation operates has an impact on its values, assumptions, and beliefs. People may readily
develop new ideas and collaborate in a creative culture. Examining the connection between
organizational educational and culture innovations can help policymakers and researchers
understand the function of specific organisational culture aspects in innovations and give
recommendations for culture transformation and educational reform.
The Relationship Between Leadership and Organizational Culture
Organizational culture and leadership are inextricably linked, forming a solid foundation for
company activities and success. People who read about xxx say that they pay a lot of attention to
corporate culture and leadership styles. There may be two ways culture and leadership interact:
first, leadership affects culture, and then culture affects leadership, too An analysis of the
literature reveals biases on both sides of the folds. Various experts, for example, have attempted
to investigate and establish how leadership styles influence corporate culture (which includes a
variety of activities). Similarly, some scholars have adopted a different approach to studying the

5. impact of culture and how it affects organisational leadership (. The many techniques taken by
the experts demonstrate that no matter whatever path a researcher takes, the fundamental
connection between culture and organisation is evident. For example, xxx stated that the intact
interdependence between these two elements makes determining one effects the other a difficult
process.
Culture determines the work processes, activities, and beliefs of workers and management in a
typical corporate setting. Similarly, organisational leadership plays a key role in developing
command measures aimed at guiding the business culture and all activities. Firms are formed on
a specific culture, and for the majority of interpretivism-based scholars, the firm view is that
culture is the foundation of the entire organisation, and that every component of the organisation
is a representation of its culture. In contrast, according to scholars who use the structural
functionalism method, the organisation exists with culture considered as a "asset" that is
controlled and shaped by the leadership in order to get the best results. These opposing
viewpoints demonstrate that there is a significant link between culture and leadership, and that
neither can function successfully in a corporate context without the other.
Leadership and how they shape organisations are influenced by the culture of the
company.
When a company's culture has an impact on how it formulates and aligns its leadership
initiatives, new transformations occur. As previously said, xxx cultures can change according on
the leadership's influence. Also, according to xxx, leadership cannot be regarded solely through
the lens of culture; rather, it must be led by realistic objectives and the cultures that increase
performance in their ranks. As a result, the impact of diverse cultures on the establishment of

6. leadership styles in organisations has a greater impact on the firm. Cultures encourage
behaviours like information exchange and knowledge transfer, as well as the development of
new activities and practises among members) and overall increase in employee performance).
Leadership and how they shape organisations are influenced by the culture of the company. In
turn, this leads to new leadership styles that are important for shaping organisations and
encouraging the adoption of new or better practises. It can change and be shaped by the
leadership methods used, the management styles that are used, the introduction of new cultural
aspects, as well as the effects that these things have.
Educational improvement and leaders’ role in problem solving
Educators work on their own to solve problems. xxx says that discretionary spaces are the small
practises of the teacher. You must pay attention to what is going on in these places if you want to
know what is going on there and why. In this case, what the teacher says or does when a student
answers a question in a certain way has an effect on everyone else in the classroom and shapes
bigger issues in education like racism and oppression. Researchers think there's also a link
between leaders' problem solving and whether a school or network meets its improvement goals.
How good leaders are at responding to small problems in a conversational moment affects
whether a school or network meets its goals. There are many ways that one person or group of
people can affect the way things are done at the macro level, like how one person or group of
people deals with a specific teacher or a specific kid or group of kids. Effective problem solving
is also linked to how difficult it is to reach curricular reform goals, such as depth, breadth, reach,
and pace.
Leadership and technology change

7. While there are many theories about leadership, there is one that is used a lot in the literature on
technological leadership. Technology leadership is often thought of as part of change leadership
because of its emphasis on new technology and how to use it. Because new and changing
technology is unpredictable, xxx think that technology leadership is a way to make things better
and move forward in the world. As soon as one accepts the idea that technology leadership is a
way to lead through constant change, they can look at the scholarly works of people who believe
in leadership. xxx has spent a lot of time and effort writing about how to make leaders who can
adapt to change and move their organisations forward in a changing world. Fullan (2001) says
that leaders must "understand the process of change" in order to be effective. First, a leader must
figure out a way to do things that is both acceptable and aligned with the leader's goals. The
process of making a strategy It might be hard to stay up to date in a rapidly changing field. It
could happen if plans aren't implemented quickly enough, and the technology that comes from
those plans may become out-of-date. This rapid change could lead to leaders and organisations
that are always in a state of flux, scrambling to keep up with the most recent and best
technologies. In reality, he tells executives who are caught up in the whirlwind of change, "The
goal is not to be the most innovative, and having the best ideas is not enough. You need to be
able to adapt." Using what they've learned from their past work, technology directors need to
slow down their own and their organization's use of technology. It's important for people who
want to be leaders to know that this model of transformation has a "failure dichotomy." They
will not be able to do their job if they don't change quickly enough or change too much. There is
a temptation for technology leaders to put their jobs or the goals of their organisations on hold in
order to pursue change for the sake of innovation rather than the proper and successful use of
technology. This can be dangerous.

8. A school's instructional technology leader is often in charge of making sure that technology is
used in the classroom. There's a good chance that teachers will have to be willing to use
technology in a lot of different classrooms, though. An educational technology leader must help
others use technology in order to have a big impact on the whole school. Following the path-goal
principle, the educational technologist can help teachers use technology in the classroom by
giving them technology training or setting up support systems. As a result, educational
technology leaders need to know that they can't do everything on their own, and they may need
to help their teachers use technology in their classrooms.
Leaders’ capabilities in problem solving
A study has shown the importance of problem-solving skills to leadership performance in
general, and educational leadership in particular. Consider, for example, "administrators'
problem-solving processes as crucial to understanding why principals function the way they do
and why some principals are more effective than others." All other characteristics of effective
educational leadership, according to Robinson, are dependent on the ability to solve challenging
situations. Problem solving is important in school leadership criteria and is included in
techniques for evaluating school leadership, which is predictable. Furthermore, given the
increasing demand for the complexity of teaching standards, the tendency toward leadership
across networks of schools, and the additional complexity of issue solving that necessitates a
system perspective, its significance is heightened.
Ethical issues
A lot of things can make businesses act unethically, like shareholder pressure for growth, senior
leadership wanting to meet goals, looming financial losses, greed, and more often than not,

9. ignorance. They also have a well-structured code of ethics or declaration of ethics, on the other
hand, which is very well thought out. In this case, what happens when an ethical commitment
comes up against an unethical act? We think that the ethical filter isn't working, and that the
organization's highest-level values don't reach the people who are in charge of the organization's
day-to-day operations. Senior executives often don't agree with a company's code of ethics, and
we think this is often the case. Leaders who do not follow their own code of ethics have no
reason to expect rank and file employees to do the same. As a result, unethical behaviour is
shown in two ways: by senior leadership and by the activities of the organisation. Observe the
CEOs of Countrywide Financial and Tyco. Then more recently, the CEOs of Wells Fargo and
HSBC did the same thing. Organizational decisions are made based on how much money the
company makes after fines and settlements are taken into account. This means that there is little
economic incentive for the company to stop doing what it's doing. It's also important to note that
unethical behaviour and the fines that come with it aren't specific to any one business.
Sustainable leadership and organizational learning
Leadership has a big impact on how people act and how things change at work. Leadership
openness, honesty, and trust all help people learn, make less mistakes, and get involved in
quality initiative activities. Leaders have an impact on the way people learn at work by setting
and sharing a vision, speaking honestly and inviting new employees, and training them. To help
their employees learn more, businesses want a good learning environment and a way for them to
communicate freely. Leaders who are committed to long-term success make the workplace
psychologically safe, which is important for open communication and knowledge sharing.
People learn a lot more when they work in a psychologically safe environment.

10. People who have similar values and are willing to talk and share information help spread
knowledge. Another thing that helps workers improve their skills, experience, and knowledge at
work is a "sharing culture." Innovation, staff development, long-term perspective, ethical
behaviour, organisational culture, and social and environmental responsibility are six of the
behaviours that Kantabutra and Avery (2013) say are important for leaders to have. Sustainable
leaders help their teams learn by sharing their vision and goals with them. Sustainable leaders
also encourage knowledge sharing by giving vision information, criticism, and new ideas.
