Leadership: the influence that particular individuals exert on the goal achievement of others in an organizational context. Has a strong effect on an organization"s strategy, success, and survival. Effective leadership exerts influence in a way that achieves organizational goals by enhancing productivity, innovation, satisfaction, and commitment of the workforce. Strategic leadership: leadership that involves the ability to anticipate, envision, maintain flexibility, think strategically, and work with others to initiate changes that will create a viable future for the organization. Can provide an organization with a sustainable competitive advantage by helping it compete in turbulent and unpredictable environments and by exploiting growth opportunities. Formal leaders (e. g. , managers, executives) are expected to influence others, and are given specific authority to direct employees. However, the presence of a formal leadership role is no guarantee that there is leadership. Since informal leaders do not have formal authority, they must rely on being well liked or being perceived as highly skilled to exert influence.
