A manager's approach can have an influence on the productivity of her staff and the rest of the organization. Organizational efficiency is dependent on each department, led by its manager, performing its job and contributing to the success of the company. Thus the way in which a manager makes decisions, delegate’s responsibility and interacts with employees can affect the entire organization.

Successful organizational performance relies on the proper behaviour from managers and employees. Leadership can be an evolutionary process in companies. Business owners who provide leadership can transform an employee from a worker completing tasks to a valuable team member. Leadership skills can help change an employee’s mentality by instilling an ownership mind set. Employees who believe they have a direct owner-style relationship with the organization often find ways to improve their attitude and productivity.
