From the basic knowledge that I had learned, I knew that employees' morale was key as far as the corporation's performance in the market was concerned (Hein, 1998). When the morale is swayed to the negative side due to bad leadership, it remains a core job of the management to assess the loopholes leading to such psyche among the workers. There are a number of ways that define ineffective leadership that include lack of courage to shun the old, compete or even face the employees on certain fundamental issues. These were the pillars that I would use in addressing the issue. .
I decided to conduct a study so as to identify the contributing factors to the low levels of morale among the employees, and from the responses that I received I established that inefficient accountability on the side of the core executives made the employees to lose trust in the management thereby affecting their morale in the strict sense of the words. Leaders were not accountable to the stakeholders and this did not appeal to the people. Many ineffective leaders in the organization had failed to invest in those they led, and thus failed to have a team behind them. Failure to pull the future forward also contributes to low morale, since employees' lack the vision upon which self-drive is built. According to Gupta (2009) best leaders are tough on the pursuit of focus and no matter what they rarely get derailed. Lack of focus models low esteem among the employees directly affecting their morale. Lack of performance also keeps the morale far down since it is a key motivator when your corporation is listed among the best. Another main thing is communication in the corporation be it vertical or horizontal, it needs to be efficient and effective. I knew the situation at hand and basing on the skills that I had learn on the situational leadership style, I knew that this was the best approach that would suit the organization.
