Organizations need strong leadership for optimum effectiveness. Leadership, as we know, is a trait which is both inbuilt and can be acquired also.

An ideal organizational leader should not dominate over others. He/She should guide the individuals under him, give them a sense of direction to achieve organizational goals successfully and should act responsibly. He/She should be optimistic for sure. He/She should be empathetic and should understand the need of the group members.
An organizational leader should not only lead others individually but also manage the actions of the group.
Individuals who are highly ambitious, have high energy level, an urge to lead, self-confidence, intelligence, have thorough knowledge of job, are honest and flexible are more likely to succeed as organizational leaders.
Individuals who learn the organizational leadership develop abilities and skills of teamwork, effective communication, conflict resolution, and group problem solving techniques.
Organizational leaders clearly communicate organizational mission, vision and policies; build employees morale, ensure efficient business operations; help employees grow professionally and contribute positively towards organizations mission.
A true leader should not be too bossy and should not consider him as the supreme authority. Leaders should realize that they are part of the organization as a whole.
Organizational leadership involves all the processes and possible results that lead to development and achievement of organizational goals. It includes employees’ involvement, genuineness, effective listening and strategic communication.
