Leadership
Effective leadership has a tremendous impact on the success of an organization.
Darling & Heller (2011) infers that “with regard to individuals in leadership roles, their
thoughts and feelings, fundamentally based on attitudes, thereby also control the levels of
organizational success and every other aspect of an organizational leader 's arena of
endeavor” (p. 9). Achieving optimal organizational performance is very much so
dependent on the effectiveness of that organization’s leaders. Five topics interrelated to
leadership effectiveness will be addressed in this paper. (1) Explain how 360-degree
Feedback works for leadership and tell why you think it could be beneficial. (2) Present
an overview of the Contingency Theory of Leadership effectiveness to include
Situational Leadership II. (3) Share some ways that you as a leader could lead your
company in being socially responsible and creating an ethical organization. (4) Provide a
brief analysis of empowerment; be certain to include the relationship between delegation
and empowerment. (5) Discuss how leaders can foster teamwork within a group. All of
these topics and/or concepts are essential aspects to achieving high levels of quality,
productivity and satisfaction within an organization.
The concept of 360-degree Feedback is to formally evaluate an organization’s
leaders through feedback from individuals that work closely with those leaders (e.g.
subordinates, colleagues, direct supervisors, other superiors, suppliers and/or customers).
According to Dubrin (2010), 360-degree Feedback is also referred to as multisource or
multirater feedback, and is systematically derived from a full sampling of parties who
directly interact with the leader (p. 110). One particular method for organizations to
measure leadership effectiveness
