How Organizational Factors Can Facilitate or Can Inhibit Leadership Effectiveness

The term transformational leadership has described an inspirational role that managers can apply to enhance the organization’s intellectual capital and ultimate performance. The question arises whether organizational factors themselves can be a source of effectiveness for transformational leaders.

Hugh Blane, President, Claris Consulting

I was a jerk of a leader. I’m not proud of it, but it’s true. At twenty-seven I got the job of my dreams. I had the title, status, authority, compensation and confidence of the Chairman of The Board and was viewed by the owners as the golden child. I was recruited to lead the company through a period of transformational growth and would be rewarded handsomely for doing so. This job was my big break career wise as well as financially.
