Impact of leadership on the success of the organization using Graves seven vMems

First produce an assessment of how varying leadership styles impact an entire organization and its personnel. Describe the impact your organization's Values and Leadership System and Structure has on leadership, management and staff.

Many researchers have discussed the leadership style that is chosen by business organizations in order to have specific business environment and control and improve the workforce commitment as according to Germano, (2016), the effective leadership in a business organizatin can choose the leadership style that is suitable to the needs of the organization and that can help leadership implment the organizational goals and objectives such as strenghtening the organization's position in the market and raising its profits and reach higher levels of organizational success and have better market position. A successful business leadership style is that style that can bring in profits and reduce costs according to the requirements of the current stage and the needs of the market. My organization can choose any of the available leadership styles to it in order to apply it bassed on the work environemnt it has and market segmentation it relates its activity to. According to Swamy and Swamy, (2014) There are main six leadership styles which are the coaching style, comanding style, democratic style, affiliate style, visionary style and pacesetting style. Each of these styles can be used for specific purposes rather than the others as the proper choosing for the leadership style can make the leadership of the organization is more able to achieve the organizational goals. There are other theories that explain other styles of leadership such as those discussed by Lumbasi, (2015) an example is the supporting style that is high in support and low in direction, another one is the coaching style that is low in motivation and competency and high in direction. These leadership styles can be chosen and used according to the organizational objectives and the orientations of the company's leadership that should be clear to leaders as well as employees.   

There are many studies in this regard that suggest that the best leadership style is that one which is able to motivate employees for presenting their best to the organization and that can help them perform well and do their tasks as needed for their welfare and the welfare of the organization. This was assured by () who added that a good leader is that leader who is able to guide employees towards achieivng the organizational goals on the long run as well as the short run. There are different leadership styles that can be used in a business organization such as the transactional and transformational leadership styles and each of them has its own characteristics and requirements to reach organizational change. 

When the leader is able to choose the right leadership style to its organization, he then can find out the right leadership value system that can make a good image of the company among other competitors in the market. Professional managemnt has made it important in modern economies to use the leadership values system in order to improve the current and future position of an organization. The table below shows the number of leadership value systems that can be available for my business organization:

Beige

Yellow

turquoise

Green

Orange

Value systems of my company Figure 1

In my business organization, there are two main leaderdship value systems which are colored blue and purple. The purple color is the most dominant one as the company uses it to get best benefits on the company's various levels and this level is used to apply the transformational leadership style. The purple is good for the organization because it can make its current position stronger and can add many competitive advantages to it in areas such as work quality and time delivery in addition to providing a wider space for motivation and communication for employees. This can make schedules and deadlines are better achieved and delivered. This can help employees work hard to make the company succeed and reach a higher image in the market in addition to attract more people to deal with it and trust in its services. The purple system can make the company advanced and well prepared with good trained employees who are motivated to guide it forward and to make it more trustworthy by more adequate deadlines and better time schedules. The company mixes the purple with the blue in order to keep employees motivated and also enjoying a good work environment as the organization is making different improvements in its environment that make employees more relaxed such as changing furniture and developing its technology systems. When employees are relaxed and feeling better and comfortable, they are able to provide their best to the organization and improve its organizational performance.   

The organization's depending on the purple and blue systems can change at any time it sees this suitable and when it turns from a level to another of change. There are other colors that can be used by the business organization such as green, red, yellow and others whenever the organization is trying a different leadership strategy. The company can use the red color for example in order to apply a strict leadership system or the yellow for example to apply some critical modifications to the company. There is also the turquoise that can be helpful when a more global technique is going to be applied by the organization. The current transformational leadership style can also be used with the orange and the green value systems. The leader can also use a specific value system with his leadership style he applies and he can also changes from a color to another according to the needs of the leadership style he follows. For example, in our organization the leaders can change from transformational to transactional leadership styles based on the needs of the work environment and they can use the orange value system for motivating employees and they can also use the green one in order to train employees and develop their skills to be better and gain more skills. The leaders in my organizations apply transformational leadership style currently in order to provide employees with more time for communication and make them more flexible to receive criticism and training. This is helpful to apply the needed organizational change required for development.

Second now that you understand your company and leadership Value System dynamic (culture, structures, behaviors, actions, etc.) choose one specific Leadership issue/problem/challenge to solve and recommend a solution. The solution could be to improve change the Leadership Value System or Structure or make an important strategic decision.

Transformational leadership style is well applied in my organization and this makes it face different challenges that hinder the progression of the company. These challenges can be handled by applying the Meme stacks because they are able to help the organization achieve the desired organizational change it needs and this can be via applying a specific leadership style that is desired and suitable for the business organization. The main task of the Meme stacks is to face the challenges and providing the best solutions for them before the challenges lead to real problems. In my organization, the leadership is applying the purple and blue value systems of the Memes in order to make it reach better levels of competitive advantage and keep it well controlled at the same time using the blue level. My company is related to the worldwide marketplace of human rights and public services which makes it in need for continuouse development of ideas and innovations of services and it is in need for a leadership style that can raise its position and reputation as a trustworthy organnization in this field. In my organization, there should be specific modifications that are mainly related to the environmental regulations of the organization as they reflect the organization's vision related to its services and they have to show that the organization is keen on providing its services for all people equally without regard to color, sex, religion or other racial conditions. The organization is in need to develop its work environment in order to be more communicative and encouraging for innovation and creativity as there are many blcoks to them. This can be used by applying the yellow Meme stack that encourages the use of technology and development at work and the orange color in order to focus more on training and motivating employees and leaders to be more creative and innovative.

My organization is also facing different challenges that are related to its global work as a human rights organization as it deals with different people around the world and it attends different projects and conferences around the world. This makes it important for the organization to apply other Memes such as the green one and the turquoise inorder to give much more interest for different corporate social responsibility evenets around the world and different issues relevant to the protection of the environment, eco-friendly systems and other global issues in order to show how they are related to human rights and how human rights organizations can be effective in dealing with these matters locally and globally. This makes it important for the organization to be engaged locally and internationally into events such as planting and keeping the Earth safe from different wastes and harms that work against human rights. The orgaization here can seek specialists in these fields and trainers who can train employes to be able to use the environment and  the relevant issues safely and provide the local and international society with the needed services and share into these events effectively. The organziation can also apply certain events of its own to protect animals and other environemnt factors aiming at protecting huamn rights and supporting people livign on Earth locally and internationally. The turquoise color of the Meme systems can be effective in this regard and can help the organization develop itself locally and internationally.

This makes it improtant for the company to deal with the Meme systems and realize them effectively through understanding them and realizing the uses of each color and how they can be suited and then applied on the activities and services of the organization. This requires the organization leadership to have its own specialists and trainers who can help employees understand the changes in using the Meme value systems and the benefits that can be gained from them to the employees and the organization. Researchers show that there is always a peack for change and it can be seen on the long run and that it can change from time to time and let other peak to appear based on the requirements and needs of the phase of change. This peak can be represented currently in my organization by the purple and then the blue colors based on the needs of the organization and soon the leadership can turn to have another peak such as the yellow or the turquoise.The turquoise color can also be a peak on the long run to include global issues within issues relevant to the huam rights in Oman and globally or to the yellow color to focus on innovations and technology for development of the organization.  

Produce a reflection assessing your leadership capabilities and a plan for CPD development

For reflecting and assessing my leadership abilities, I need to depend on a number of measurements and hints that tell me how far I changed and developed my own leadership skills and abilities. Observation and taking notes are good tools to tell me how I was before the module and now. I also should make a comparison between the personal objectives I had and what I really achieved. In fact I think I am aquite good leader as I prefer the transformational leadership style and I like to make effective communications with the people and the team I lead. I also prefer to make effective discussions with the members of the team and exchange information with them. I like to study any decision before I take it as this study makes me realize the reason why I take the decision and the know the exact time I have to take the decision. When I am faced by a problems and a challenge I prefer to think deeply in it before trying to find a solution but in fact this takes too much time of me and this time waste affects my decision and sometimes I see that I take the wrong decisions due to  time waste. I prefer to be innovative and creative as a leader and engage others in new supportive projects where they can express themselves and their ideas freely and directly without fears. Sometimes I try to be more strict as a leader and I change from a transformational leader to a trnasactional one who prefers the team members to apply the rules and be adequate to controls and rules. I think that the value systems can be used by any leader who thinks that there are changes in his organization that need to be done and that the current phase is completely different from other past or future phases. The value Memes can be used to face different challneges and blocks in the organization and this is base on the needs of the organization. I find myself good as a leader who can motivate employees and guide them and push them towards applying the different ideas they can have and I envourage them to work in a comfortable loving work environment. As my organization is a human rights organization, as a leader I myself prefer to be very human with the members of my teams, I respect them and raise the concepts of fair, judge and dignity among them. I don't tell lies and when I promise I do what I promised. As a leader, I am honest and I try to give opportunities to all people and team members equally as this is among the huamn rights they need to receive. I think I can handle conflicts effectively and I am a good manager but I think I need to relax more and be more patient. I try to set good effective plans that have reasonable and achievable goals and then try hard to apply them on time schedules but I think I need to manage time better and be able to deliver work on deadlines better than now. I am keen on keeping the environment clean, save energy and save rights of animals in the community where I live and work, I also try to do different researches regarding the local and international requirements of life and try to be coping with the international events related to huamn rights and leadership at the same time. I try to let all team members to participate in decision making but sometimes I can't find time to make more discussions about decisions which makes me take the decisions quickly and without enough thinking.

A Plan for CDP development

To make a CDP plan for myself, it is important to set a number of objectives suchas the following:

1.      Reaching a better level of leadership.

2.      Being able to use the Meme values effectively.

3.      Reaching a higher level of success with working with my team.

4.      Managing time effectively.

5.      Making the work environment better.

6.      Delivering work on time.

7.      Being more adequate.

8.      Reaching better job positions.

9.      Being more creative and innovative and apply my creative ideas and ideas of the team members.

10.  Helping my organization reach better level in applying its services.

This can be reached by hard work on myself and my abilities as I should study more and read more about leadership theories and the Value Memes in particular as this can help me understand each level of the Memes effectively and apply it properly. This can also help me develop my own leadership and management knolwedge and information. Another important thing is that I have to compare other organizations in the local community that provide services related to the services of our organization in order to try to add competitive advantage to the organization. I should work more with teams and find more opportunties to engage others within my teams. I should work on a time plan that is well managed and prepared and let spaces of time in order to keep time adequate and effective. I need also to add education programs to my career in order to deserve promotions and reach higher job positions. I need also to share in different environmental projects and events locally and internationally. I should also to be more patient in decision making and try to be more dare in taking the right decisions in order to save time.
