Determinants of organizational performance

Organizational performance is a crucial factor in the success of a business. At the center is the leadership or role models within the organization. Employee performance also effects organizational success but correlates directly from leadership competency. Therefore, a leader’s ability to cognitive, social, and emotional intelligence is vital for company success. Cognitive competencies include expertise within the field, allowing individuals to think critically and convey organizational ideas effectively. Social competencies describe the ability of a leader to understand the hierarchy and capabilities of the employees. Delegation of tasks to lower level employees provides a sense of value and allows leaders to focus on other tasks. Emotionally intelligent leaders can detect changes in mood(s) within the company and successfully implement change, or at least continue to drive workers to perform to company standards.
