for communicating company goals, missions, and priorities. Leaders are also responsible for
measuring, educating, defining, and rewarding the work ethic they want to promote. It reflects

company performance change is needed, it is up to the leaders to communicate effectively with
employees.
In the workplace, decisiveness is essential for making plans and achieving goals. Skilled leaders

decisions against the costs of making bad decisions. Leaders who deliver key business ethics are
aware of their role in developing a good organizational culture. They point out to their team
members that behavior is linked to behavior change and that values need to change.
Collaborative skills are essential for leaders to bring about organizational character (Kapucu and
Ustun, 2018). Leaders hold people accountable to ensure that they continue to do their job.
Managers need to show employees that the culture of the system exists to guide them in success.
Successful leaders must empower their members to make informed decisions.
A business leader is also responsible for comparing their own personalities with their definition
of success and getting an idea of what it means and staying positive in achieving their goals.
Encouraging people to take on responsibilities is a great way to do this, as a participatory
approach can help them become accustomed to decision-making, critical thinking, and
communication skills can boost their self-esteem and potential (Peterson, 2018). There are many
things that make a job satisfying, including good leadership. Leaders need to keep in mind how
management practices affect employees and understand the purpose of the business. Employees
who are satisfied with their work often do better work. One of the best ways to improve job
satisfaction is to choose leadership styles that will benefit both the organization and the staff.

Depending on the model of this concept, the leader knowingly or unknowingly accepts the
practice and observes the consequences of the behavior. By gaining a culture, leaders are more
committed to the positive culture of the organization. Organizational performance is assessed for
environmental impacts that affect the performance of employees or teams. Leadership
development experiences can help employees to see why they are not using other innovative
skills and behaviors, hoping to understand what beliefs promote these practices. Communication,
loyalty, and social interaction are important tools to the success of an organization.
