Leadership is guiding a process-oriented organisation

Organisations function in unique ways; these functions are necessary to meet their goals and objectives, which hopefully lead to effective and efficient productivity and a quality product. Most organisations have good people at the head of their operations or manufacturing centre who know how to get things done and know who they can count on to get it done. They often can execute the function with the finesse of a finely tuned machine. The organisation depends on those people and often hands them the 'keys' to the company, so to speak, because they are trusted and the company obviously needs them. To improve a company's chance of survival, leaders must create an organisation that is more adaptable to their constantly changing environment. Creating a process orientation throughout the whole organisation provides the mechanism for the desired adaptability and flexible structure.
