Leadership and Work Attitude: A Symbiosis Relationship that Shape Organization Performance
Abstract
The term leadership tends to conjure in our minds picture of great military commanders such as General Patton,stirring politicians and statesmen such as Winston Churchill, or charismatic leaders of national movements suchas Gandhi. But while people such as these were undoubtedly great leaders, they are only the most visible andobvious examples of leadership in action. Infarct, every time a person attempts to get other people to dosomething that the person wants them to do, he or she is functioning as a leader. Seen in this perspective,leadership is exercised in organizations from the chief executive officer right down to the first-level supervisoron the shop floor. Leadership is a core variable in the management of human and material resources withoutwhich organizations or groups may not function effectively. Concepts like mob or crowd simply define anassembly of people without leadership. On the other hand, a situation of anarchy describes a group with apparentleadership disintegration. When an economic venture is undertaken by an organization, with a view tomaximizing economic opportunities, it calls for a person or persons to supervise, direct, control, and co-ordinatethe activities of production and workers co-operation. This example simply points to the role of leadership in anorganization.Keywords: Leaders, Workers, Influence, Symbiosis, Organization, Performance.
