The organizational process of leadership can be affected in many different ways. Leadership in numerous different businesses and organizations can make or break you as a company. There are many different components on how leadership can impact the organizational context. The actors within the organization are the CEO's, GM's and middle management staff that makes up the leadership of the organization. How they act and what they do in their work makes a big difference in how the employees will react and how they will produce for you. If you have a boss that is always riding you and nothing that you say or do makes him happy, then you will have disgruntled employees that do not produce the way they should. On the flip side of the coin if you encourage the workers through free ideas and opinions with an open environment to work and grow, you tend to get much better results than the dictatorship approach. The process of leadership and the culture in which you are born into leadership will always differ from one person to the next. Leadership for some people can be born into and for others they will never know how to lead from the front. The culture in which leadership is born into can change from one country to the next. In other country leadership is much different than in America. In Japan people lead from the front by keeping all emotions in check and they never display hardship or frustration. They do all there leading with their words to get the point across. In America there tends to be much more emotions displayed in leadership, especially when running a major sports team. In Japan the manager does not yell or get upset when his team makes a mistake, however when the player comes into the dugout after a bad play the manager will sit him down with a stern talking to in order to get his point across that the player made a mistake and that it will not be tolerated again. The structure of leadership within an organization can be vital in making leadership decisions. The army is structured in such a way that there are many levels of leadership going all the way up to the President of the United States. In this form of environment you can have lots of confusion because of all the different leaders that you have to answer to within your day to day decisions. Overall leadership is a critical aspect to running a sports organization and without good leadership, your organization can fail.
