LEADERSHIP AND ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE

About the Book

Leadership is inherent in every being despite one’s job profile. But qualitative training and other traits are very important for the right behaviours. Every follower possesses attribute of a leader but because these are somewhat concealed, to lead effectively becomes a huge challenge to many. This book is as a result of many years of research. It focused on discovering those behavioural attributes that could combine effectively with the leader’s competing roles to enhance his performance. A Competing Value Framework (CVF) was applied to understand the leadership behaviours, characteristics, attributes, and roles that could influence a leader even in the face of contingency factors. The result was quite revealing. Leaders that combine their roles with other attributes/skills achieve behavioural complexity, which are performance enhancing behaviours. Furthermore, leaders are distinguished by their unique mental attitude, particularly in four roles they play: motivation, vision, analytic, and task master roles. Combination of these with other attributes and characteristics enhances the leadership complexity. This book is a useful material for those in the ministries, academia, and organisations of different sizes. It’s a book every leader must possess to comprehend the behavioural complexities relevant for organisational performance.
