Abstract

Today’s organizations are in need of strong leadership in dealing with many factors of organizational culture including employee performance and satisfaction, work environment and achievement rewards. Therefore, if any of these factors are overlooked by the leadership team, the entire organization will be less effective.  The intention of this research is to examine the leadership’s influence on employee performance and improving workplace environment in local companies. The researcher conducts survey of neighboring businesses to determine the leadership effectiveness and to identify the area of organizational weakness. The results of the survey indicate that local organizations could benefit from a better leadership practice and well develop employee recognition plan and team work in order to achieve organizational mission with a gratifying culture.  The aim of the study was to identify the definite intentions of leadership, its influential effects on organizational culture and possible suggestions that could be supportive to the industries for their efficiency, productivity and performance.
