The ability to lead at the organizational level is a key leadership skill. Leading at this level is more complex than leading yourself or leading a team. At the organizational level, leaders have responsibility for creating an environment that allows all employees to feel engaged and committed, while also helping to ensure the financial success of the business and meeting the needs of a wide array of stakeholders, including shareholders, investors, customers, partners etc.
Leadership at the organizational level requires a broader and deeper understanding of the factors that impact organizational culture, innovation and performance. It requires a more strategic outlook and a future focus.
