Times of transition for an organization can include restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, technological changes, or changes to meet business demands.

Key points for a successful transformation include getting top leadership support, creating strategic plans, performing gap analyses, training teams, showing early wins, and inspecting and adapting the process. The leader must empower teams, remove impediments, and coach on agile practices while ensuring progress is visible.

Poor Leadership in Organization
Introduction
Leadership is foreseen as the act and practice of motivating a specific group of people to reflect their actions towards achieving a common goal. In organization, leadership involves giving direction to workers and different colleagues that take part in constituting the whole organization as a unit. All these directions and orders are strategies in a way that they meet the needs of the company and facilitate the progress of the organization. The leader should, therefore, embrace a high degree of wisdom and integrity in order to act as the head of the organization and guide it through the process of establishing its goal. In order for an organization to thrive in terms of performance and quality of the products being produced, it requires good leadership and governance. Currently, the organization is facing stiff competition from other competitors (DuBrin, 2015). Nevertheless, both the quality and quantity of the products being offered by the organization does not meet the required standards thus this makes it difficult for the organization to survive the stiff competition projected by other related organizations in the market segment. All these problems are brought about by poor governance and leadership in the organization. The paper touches on the qualities of a good leader, the significant effects of poor leadership in the organization, the effects that it projects to the entire organization and the suggested solutions.
Skills and competence of a leader
Each and every organization requires a leader to head all the activities that take place in the institution and ensure that the activities, roles and duties are performed at the right time in the right order. In order for a leader to manage an organization, he or she should poses some skills and competence. The skills in different leaders creates a large impact in the organization thus imposing a difference in both the production and management process. A good leader should poses the following skills.
The ability to supervise others. Through this skill, the business leader is also able to delegate jobs better and efficiently to various individuals and different departments of the organization and oversee how multiple operations are run to ensure a smooth running of business operations. This would help as such a leader would know which decisions would best suit better supervision thus better business flow regarding the operations.
High emotional intelligence. This calls for the ability to be aware of, in control and be able to express one’s emotions, and handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. (Shamir & Eilam-Shamir, 2018). With such skill, a business leader can connect and relate better with both his seniors and juniors at a human level; thus they would be in a more significant position to influence and therefore justify business decisions.
Good communication skills. Effective busi.

Leaders & Managers: Both Roles Are Critical to Your Business Success
By Todd Palmer, CEO, Extraordinary Advisors
In business, goals and objectives need to be reached. Often times, it is the leader who sets the vision of those goals and the manager who leads the team to accomplish the tasks required to attain those goals. Ideally in small to mid-sized businesses, there is one leader and one manager. These roles are embodied by the CEO (visionary) and the COO (integrator).
The document discusses the five integral disciplines for leading agile transformations:
1) Conscious Change - Taking a proactive, disciplined approach to organizational change.
2) Evolving Consciousness - Questioning assumptions and beliefs to evolve individual consciousness.
3) Evolving Product Innovation - Taking an organization-centric approach to product creation.
4) Evolving Systemic Complexity - Shifting organizational culture to create a hospitable environment for agility.
5) Evolving Adaptive Architectures - Designing organizational structures and policies that optimize flow.
The document discusses the five integral disciplines for leading agile transformations:
1) Conscious Change - Taking a proactive, disciplined approach to organizational change.

4) Evolving Systemic Complexity - Shifting organizational culture and mental models to create an environment for agility.
5) Evolving Adaptive Architectures - Designing organizational structures, governance, and policies that optimize flow and value creation.
This document discusses creating a culture of self-discipline in corporations. It argues that the defining feature of highly successful companies is self-discipline among both leaders and employees. Self-discipline comes from within and motivates good work, rather than external discipline based on fear. The key aspects to fostering self-discipline are having the right disciplined people, clear strategic thought, and taking disciplined action focused on customer satisfaction. This replaces the need for bureaucracy and micro-management.
