Organizational leadership is the practice of guiding individuals and teams to achieve an organization’s goals. It combines elements of management, communication, psychology and strategy to help leaders inspire others, build effective teams, make ethical decisions and manage change. Unlike traditional leadership that focuses mainly on tasks or authority, organizational leadership emphasizes collaboration, emotional intelligence and long-term vision—helping organizations grow while supporting the people within them.
