In most instances, the organization looks forward to achieving outstanding results. However, achieving the following results is not easy since the organization should conduct a series of evaluations on the employee. Therefore, the leaders should engage the employees in the discussion regarding the current performance and the measures that can be employed to improve it. This process would help the business to have a competitive advantage over the other businesses, thereby remaining in business in the long run.
For example, the business has been suffering from a series of business problems. One problem it has suffered from is the employees' high trust issues with the supervisors. This likely causes them to doubt what the other employees say. The other problem is that the employees feel they are not motivated to perform since there have been low recognition programs. Similarly, there have been employees who feel that even though they are given rewards for the task they have been performing, they have failed to match the effort they have made. Furthermore, there have been communication breakdowns within the organization, which have caused the organization to suffer from trust and appreciation issues.

Moreover, the leadership has shown high dedication to the organization’s development. The other unique feature that the leadership possesses is that it values the employees’ opinions. On the other hand, the leaders have shown a high degree of honesty to the juniors. These skills and behaviors strengths are critical for the organization’s success.
