Every organization should build strong organizational management strategies that help to build good relationships based on their values, norms, behaviours, and perceptions.Leadership changes leaders’ mind-set, style, and behavior.The change process they design as a result of their orientation must encourage employees to want to participate, to choose to contribute, rather than force them to do so.
