1. Introduction	
  
	
  
Strong	
  leadership	
  and	
  governance	
  processes	
  are	
  vital	
  for	
  organisations	
  to	
  survive	
  in	
  a	
  complex,	
  
rapidly	
  changing	
  environment.	
  Emerging	
  research	
  also	
  suggests	
  relationship	
  exist	
  between	
  
organisational	
  outcomes	
  and	
  both	
  leadership	
  development	
  and	
  effective	
  followership.	
  This	
  essay	
  
aims	
  to	
  explore	
  the	
  effect	
  of	
  leadership	
  on	
  governance	
  outcomes,	
  and	
  the	
  influence	
  of	
  leadership	
  
development	
  and	
  followership	
  on	
  organisational	
  outcomes.	
  	
  
	
  
The	
  first	
  section	
  of	
  this	
  essay	
  will	
  clearly	
  define	
  the	
  terms	
  ‘leadership’	
  and	
  ‘governance’.	
  Section	
  
two	
  will	
  contrast	
  the	
  roles	
  of	
  leaders	
  and	
  the	
  roles	
  of	
  executives	
  or	
  managers.	
  The	
  third	
  section	
  of	
  
this	
  essay	
  will	
  argue	
  leadership	
  is	
  the	
  key	
  internal	
  driving	
  force	
  behind	
  governance	
  outcomes	
  in	
  
organisations.	
  Section	
  four	
  will	
  provide	
  examples	
  that	
  demonstrate	
  how	
  well-­‐designed	
  leadership	
  
development	
  programs	
  can	
  greatly	
  enhance	
  organisational	
  outcomes.	
  The	
  fifth	
  and	
  final	
  section	
  
will	
  present	
  evidence	
  that	
  supports	
  the	
  relationship	
  between	
  effective	
  followership	
  and	
  superior	
  
organisational	
  outcomes.	
  
	
  
Leadership	
  and	
  Governance	
  Definitions	
  
Defining	
  the	
  scope	
  and	
  intent	
  of	
  the	
  terms	
  ‘leadership’	
  and	
  ‘governance’	
  is	
  elusive	
  (Davila	
  et	
  al.	
  
2012).	
  Although	
  leadership	
  can	
  be	
  defined	
  simplistically	
  as	
  “the	
  influence	
  of	
  others	
  toward	
  a	
  
collective	
  goal”	
  (Mumford	
  2010,	
  p.	
  5),	
  Van	
  Wart	
  (2005,	
  p.	
  27)	
  argues	
  that	
  leadership	
  is	
  “a	
  complex	
  
process	
  involving	
  numerous	
  traits	
  and	
  skills.	
  Leaders	
  must	
  refine	
  and	
  modify	
  their	
  styles	
  for	
  
different	
  situations.	
  Leadership	
  achieves	
  predetermined	
  goals	
  and	
  leaders	
  continually	
  self-­‐
evaluate	
  their	
  own	
  performance.”	
  
	
  
Organisations	
  need	
  governance	
  structures	
  to	
  determine	
  their	
  direction	
  and	
  achieve	
  optimal	
  
performance	
  outcomes	
  (Carcello	
  2008).	
  Governance	
  structures	
  also	
  maintain	
  an	
  organisation’s	
  
accountability,	
  reputation	
  and	
  integrity	
  (Broni	
  &	
  Velentzas	
  2012).	
  du	
  Plessis,	
  Hargovan	
  and	
  Bagaric	
  
(2011,	
  p.	
  10)	
  define	
  corporate	
  governance	
  as	
  a	
  system	
  that:	
  
• Regulates	
  and	
  oversees	
  corporate	
  conduct;	
  
• Considers	
  the	
  interests	
  of	
  both	
  internal	
  and	
  external	
  stakeholders;	
  
• Ensures	
  responsible	
  behaviour	
  by	
  corporations;	
  and	
  	
  
• Achieves	
  the	
  maximum	
  level	
  of	
  efficiency	
  and	
  productivity.

2. Differences	
  between	
  Leaders	
  and	
  Managers	
  
	
  
Table

  below	
  summarises	
  the	
  key	
  differences	
  between	
  leaders	
  and	
  managers,	
  yet	
  these	
  roles	
  are	
  
not	
  mutually-­‐exclusive	
  because	
  “a	
  good	
  manager	
  can	
  be	
  a	
  leader”	
  (Khan	
  2008,	
  p.	
  96).	
  	
  
	
  
Table

  Key	
  differences	
  between	
  leaders	
  and	
  managers.	
  
Characteristics	
  of	
  Leaders	
   Characteristics	
  of	
  Managers	
  
• A	
  leader	
  is	
  “a	
  strategist,	
  a	
  visionary,	
  and	
  
someone	
  who	
  inspires	
  to	
  greatness”	
  
(Carlson	
  &	
  Donohoe	
  2010,	
  p.	
  8).	
  
• Leaders	
  emerge	
  depending	
  on	
  situational	
  
factors	
  and	
  have	
  personal	
  power	
  to	
  lead	
  
by	
  influencing	
  others	
  (Tripathi	
  &	
  Reddy	
  
2008).	
  
• Leader	
  share	
  mutual	
  objectives	
  with	
  their	
  
followers	
  (Tripathi	
  &	
  Reddy	
  2008).	
  
• Leaders	
  are	
  innovative,	
  proactive	
  and	
  get	
  
compliance	
  without	
  invoking	
  position	
  
(Khan	
  2008).	
  
• A	
  leader	
  can	
  “initiate	
  change	
  by	
  
communicating	
  a	
  vision	
  or	
  goals	
  and	
  
seeking	
  to	
  inspire	
  others	
  into	
  action”	
  
(Mumford	
  2010,	
  p.	
  7).	
  
• A	
  manager	
  “focusses	
  on	
  efficiency,	
  
effectiveness	
  and	
  making	
  sure	
  the	
  right	
  
things	
  happen	
  at	
  the	
  right	
  time”	
  (Carlson	
  
&	
  Donohoe	
  2010,	
  p.	
  8).	
  
• Managers	
  are	
  appointed	
  to	
  positions	
  of	
  
power	
  and	
  have	
  authority	
  over	
  
subordinates	
  (Tripathi	
  &	
  Reddy	
  2008).	
  
• Managers	
  seek	
  objectives	
  that	
  often	
  clash	
  
with	
  subordinates’	
  objectives	
  (Tripathi	
  &	
  
Reddy	
  2008).	
  
• Managers	
  are	
  followers	
  of	
  an	
  initiative	
  
who	
  are	
  reactive	
  and	
  depend	
  on	
  authority	
  
to	
  get	
  compliance	
  (Khan	
  2008).	
  
• Managers	
  supervise,	
  control	
  or	
  direct	
  a	
  
group	
  of	
  employees	
  towards	
  the	
  
achievement	
  of	
  a	
  common	
  goal	
  
(Zimmerman	
  2002).	
  
• Managers	
  are	
  employed	
  in	
  a	
  defined	
  
position	
  within	
  an	
  organisation	
  with	
  
employees	
  that	
  report	
  to	
  them	
  
(Zimmerman	
  2002).	
  
• Managers	
  “produce	
  organisation,	
  
structure,	
  clear	
  problem	
  solving	
  and	
  
action”	
  (Mumford	
  2010,	
  p.	
  6).

3. The	
  Influence	
  of	
  Leadership	
  on	
  Governance	
  Outcomes	
  
	
  
The	
  long-­‐term	
  success	
  and	
  vitality	
  of	
  any	
  organisation	
  depends	
  on	
  both	
  strong	
  leadership	
  and	
  
governance	
  processes	
  (Davila	
  et	
  al.	
  2012).	
  Ideally	
  corporate	
  governance	
  and	
  leadership	
  will	
  have	
  a	
  
symbiotic	
  relationship	
  (Davies	
  2006),	
  since	
  “good	
  leadership	
  can	
  ‘energize’	
  governance,	
  while	
  
good	
  governance	
  can	
  serve	
  to	
  sustain	
  leadership”	
  (Davila	
  et	
  al.	
  2012	
  p.	
  70).	
  	
  
	
  
Good	
  corporate	
  governance	
  helps	
  leaders	
  to	
  engage	
  stakeholders	
  while	
  remaining	
  focused	
  on	
  the	
  
company’s	
  purpose	
  and	
  interests	
  (Davies	
  2006).	
  Leaders	
  have	
  to	
  achieve	
  the	
  company’s	
  economic	
  
goal	
  of	
  profitability,	
  while	
  simultaneously	
  integrating	
  the	
  objectives	
  of	
  creating	
  a	
  stimulating	
  work	
  
environment,	
  exceeding	
  customer	
  expectations,	
  making	
  sound	
  investments,	
  creating	
  sustainable	
  
relationships	
  with	
  external	
  stakeholders	
  and	
  demonstrating	
  outstanding	
  social	
  responsibility	
  (Canal	
  
2010).	
  
	
  
Leadership	
  is	
  the	
  key	
  internal	
  driving	
  force	
  behind	
  corporate	
  governance	
  (Davies	
  2011,	
  Broni	
  &	
  
Velentzas	
  2012)	
  because	
  “leadership	
  provides	
  the	
  motivation	
  and	
  impetus	
  to	
  make	
  corporate	
  
governance	
  effective”	
  (Davies	
  2006,	
  p.	
  41).	
  	
  Leaders	
  exert	
  a	
  strong	
  influence	
  on	
  an	
  organisation’s	
  
governance	
  outcomes,	
  particularly	
  in	
  times	
  of	
  financial	
  decline	
  because	
  effective	
  leadership	
  is	
  
needed	
  to	
  restore	
  financial	
  stability	
  (Kassey,	
  Thompson	
  &	
  Wright	
  2005).	
  For	
  example,	
  leadership	
  by	
  
a	
  Continuous	
  Improvement	
  Team	
  effectively	
  transformed	
  “a	
  sluggish,	
  unprofitable	
  bureaucracy	
  into	
  
a	
  streamlined,	
  world-­‐class	
  manufacturer	
  with	
  a	
  solid	
  reputation	
  as	
  an	
  innovator”	
  (Broni	
  &	
  Velentzas	
  
2012,	
  p.	
  63).	
  
	
  
The	
  outcomes	
  of	
  governance	
  structures	
  that	
  regulate	
  corporate	
  conduct	
  and	
  uphold	
  responsible	
  
corporate	
  behaviour	
  can	
  be	
  strongly	
  influenced	
  by	
  leadership.	
  Leaders	
  that	
  pursue	
  ethically	
  virtuous	
  
choices	
  honour	
  governance	
  obligations	
  and	
  also	
  create	
  greater	
  long-­‐term	
  wealth	
  for	
  the	
  
organisation	
  (Caldwell,	
  Hayes	
  &	
  Long	
  2010).	
  Leaders	
  demonstrate	
  ethical	
  conduct	
  through	
  their	
  
interpersonal	
  relationships,	
  communication	
  and	
  decision	
  making	
  (Brown,	
  Trevino	
  &	
  Harrison	
  2005),	
  
and	
  ethical	
  culture	
  infuses	
  ethical	
  values	
  throughout	
  an	
  organisation	
  (Schwartz	
  2013).	
  	
  
	
  
Unethical	
  leadership	
  can	
  significantly	
  harm	
  an	
  organisation	
  (Hunter	
  2012),	
  particularly	
  given	
  that	
  a	
  
leader’s	
  decisions	
  influence	
  the	
  governance	
  of	
  shareholders’	
  wealth	
  (Yocam	
  &	
  Choi	
  2010).

inaction	
  can	
  lead	
  to	
  irresponsible	
  corporate	
  behaviour,	
  for	
  instance	
  leaders	
  that	
  fail	
  to	
  ensure	
  the	
  
reliability	
  of	
  financial	
  reporting	
  for	
  investment	
  and	
  credit	
  decisions	
  (Carcello	
  2008).	
  	
  	
  
	
  
Conversely,	
  ethical	
  leaders	
  can	
  improve	
  accountability	
  and	
  transparency	
  within	
  the	
  organisation	
  by	
  
positively	
  influencing	
  the	
  behaviour	
  of	
  followers,	
  since	
  employees	
  with	
  ethical	
  leaders	
  are	
  more	
  
willing	
  to	
  report	
  problems	
  (Hunter	
  2012).	
  Given	
  ethical	
  leadership	
  reduces	
  absenteeism	
  (Schwartz	
  
2013),	
  counter-­‐productive	
  employee	
  behaviours	
  (Hunter	
  2012)	
  and	
  business	
  costs	
  (Walumbwa,	
  
Morrison	
  &	
  Christensen	
  2012),	
  ethical	
  leadership	
  enhances	
  governance	
  structures	
  that	
  improve	
  an	
  
organisation’s	
  efficiency	
  and	
  productivity.	
  
	
  
The	
  third	
  section	
  of	
  this	
  essay	
  has	
  explained	
  why	
  ethical	
  leadership	
  is	
  the	
  key	
  internal	
  driving	
  force	
  
behind	
  governance	
  outcomes	
  in	
  organisations.	
  The	
  next	
  section	
  will	
  explore	
  the	
  role	
  of	
  leadership	
  
development	
  programs	
  in	
  enhancing	
  organisational	
  outcomes.	
  	
  	
  
	
  
4. The	
  Influence	
  of	
  Leadership	
  Development	
  on	
  Organisational	
  Outcomes	
  
	
  
Leadership	
  development	
  is	
  the	
  strategic	
  investment	
  in	
  structured,	
  integrated	
  opportunities,	
  
training	
  and	
  experiences	
  to	
  support	
  an	
  individual’s	
  learning,	
  growth	
  and	
  change	
  (Lawson	
  2008).	
  
Well-­‐designed	
  leadership	
  development	
  programs	
  can	
  greatly	
  improve	
  organisational	
  performance	
  
and	
  outcomes	
  (Pfeffermann	
  2012).	
  
	
  
Effective	
  leadership	
  development	
  programs	
  “fit	
  the	
  requirements	
  of	
  both	
  the	
  organizations	
  and	
  
the	
  leaders”	
  (Riggio	
  2008,	
  p.	
  390)	
  by	
  focusing	
  on	
  learning	
  and	
  development	
  at	
  the	
  individual	
  and	
  
the	
  organisational	
  level	
  simultaneously	
  (Wolf	
  et	
  al.	
  2011).	
  Effective	
  leadership	
  development	
  
programs	
  also	
  “need	
  to	
  be	
  theory-­‐driven,	
  use	
  proven	
  methods,	
  be	
  integrated	
  into	
  ongoing	
  
organizational	
  processes,	
  evaluated	
  for	
  effectiveness	
  and	
  substantial”	
  (Riggio	
  2008,	
  p.	
  390).	
  
	
  
In	
  complex,	
  rapidly	
  changing	
  environments	
  the	
  leadership	
  outcomes	
  of	
  direction,	
  alignment	
  and	
  
commitment	
  help	
  organisations	
  to	
  remain	
  effective	
  and	
  sustainable	
  (Van	
  Velsor,	
  McCauley	
  &	
  
Ruderman	
  2010),	
  since	
  “effective	
  leadership	
  is	
  integral	
  to	
  organisational	
  effectiveness”	
  (Muchiri,	
  
Cooksey	
  &	
  Walumbwa	
  2012,	
  pp.	
  663).	
  According	
  to	
  Seshie

  dollars	
  every	
  year	
  on	
  leadership	
  development

  (Shuck	
  &	
  Herd	
  
2012),	
  and	
  the	
  value	
  of	
  this	
  investment	
  is	
  reflected	
  in	
  the

  five	
  examples	
  that	
  describe	
  the	
  
significant	
  impact	
  of	
  leadership	
  development	
  on	
  long	
  term	
  organisational	
  outcomes:	
  
	
  
1. McGurk	
  (2010)	
  demonstrated	
  an	
  ‘Inspirational	
  Leadership’	
  programme	
  significantly	
  
contributed	
  to	
  strategic	
  change	
  because	
  participants	
  defined	
  and	
  addressed	
  their	
  own	
  
learning	
  needs	
  surrounding	
  specific	
  strategic	
  implementation	
  issues.	
  
	
  
2. Hayward	
  (2011)	
  reported	
  that	
  the	
  company	
  Hiscox	
  achieved	
  almost	
  a	
  700	
  per	
  cent	
  return	
  
on	
  investment	
  on	
  a	
  leadership	
  development	
  program,	
  based	
  on	
  the

  using	
  participants’	
  salaries

  The

  of

  whether	
  
effective	
  followership	
  also	
  affects	
  organisational	
  outcomes.	
  
	
  
5. The	
  Influence	
  of	
  Effective	
  Followership	
  on	
  Organisational	
  Outcomes	
  
	
  
An	
  organisation’s	
  success	
  depends	
  on	
  the	
  effectiveness	
  and	
  contribution	
  of	
  each	
  follower	
  (Mercer	
  
2011),	
  and	
  followership	
  enhances	
  organisational	
  effectiveness	
  (Crossman	
  &	
  Crossman	
  2011).	
  
Favara	
  (2009,	
  p.	
  14)	
  defined	
  followership	
  as	
  “the	
  capacity	
  and	
  behavioural	
  volition	
  to	
  be	
  
influenced	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  actively	
  partner	
  and	
  participate	
  in	
  the	
  accomplishment	
  of	
  a	
  shared	
  goal	
  or	
  
outcome”.	
  	
  
	
  
Followership	
  culture	
  creates	
  synergism	
  between	
  employees	
  and	
  their	
  work	
  and	
  produces	
  superior	
  
organisational	
  outcomes,	
  particularly	
  when	
  clear	
  principles	
  guide	
  work	
  and	
  harmonious	
  
relationships	
  (Mercer	
  2011).	
  Organisational	
  outcomes	
  can	
  be	
  improved	
  by	
  enhancing	
  followership	
  
skills,	
  since	
  “good	
  followers	
  derive	
  greater	
  satisfaction,	
  attract	
  higher	
  remuneration,	
  achieve	
  self-­‐
actualization	
  and	
  enhance	
  organizational	
  effectiveness	
  and	
  adaptability”	
  (Crossman	
  &	
  Crossman	
  
2011).	
  
	
  
A	
  recent	
  study	
  by	
  Kim	
  and	
  Schachter	
  (in	
  press)	
  provided	
  empirical	
  evidence	
  that	
  followership	
  
mediates	
  the	
  relationship	
  between	
  participative	
  leadership	
  and	
  organisational	
  performance.	
  These	
  
Authors	
  demonstrated	
  followers	
  improved	
  organisational	
  outcomes	
  by	
  being	
  actively	
  engaged,	
  
participative,	
  professional	
  and	
  proactive,	
  thinking	
  independently	
  and	
  getting	
  the	
  job	
  done.	
  Argo	
  
(2009)	
  demonstrated	
  a	
  perception	
  among	
  surveyed	
  senior	
  executives	
  that	
  effective	
  followers	
  
influence	
  work	
  performance,	
  quality	
  of	
  work	
  output,	
  satisfaction	
  and	
  morale,	
  and	
  cohesiveness	
  of	
  
work	
  groups.

Although	
  Caldwell	
  et	
  al.	
  (2008,	
  p.	
  155)	
  suggested	
  “leaders	
  influence	
  followers	
  to	
  achieve	
  
organisational	
  objectives	
  through	
  change’’,	
  followership	
  can	
  also	
  lead	
  to	
  destructive	
  organisational	
  
outcomes.	
  For	
  example,	
  in	
  organisations	
  with	
  an	
  unethical	
  culture	
  followers	
  can	
  use	
  power	
  and	
  
influence	
  tactics	
  to	
  conform	
  and	
  collude	
  with	
  destructive	
  leaders	
  (Uhl-­‐Bien	
  et	
  al.	
  in	
  press).	
  
	
  
Since	
  followership	
  complements	
  leadership	
  (Crossman	
  &	
  Crossman	
  2011),	
  it	
  can	
  be	
  argued	
  that	
  
different	
  leadership	
  styles	
  that	
  influence	
  followership	
  will	
  also	
  impact	
  on	
  organisational	
  outcomes.	
  
For	
  example,	
  Sosik	
  and	
  Jung	
  (2010)	
  assert	
  that	
  followers	
  who	
  experience	
  transformational	
  
leadership	
  achieve	
  positive	
  organisational	
  outcomes	
  because	
  the	
  followers:	
  
• Feel	
  more	
  empowered	
  and	
  engaged	
  in	
  their	
  work.	
  
• Exert	
  extra	
  effort.	
  
• Perform	
  tasks	
  that	
  go	
  beyond	
  their	
  formal	
  job	
  description.	
  
• Are	
  more	
  satisfied	
  with	
  their	
  leader.	
  
• Perform	
  better	
  and	
  more	
  creatively.	
  
	
  
Although	
  over	
  twenty-­‐five	
  types	
  of	
  followership	
  behaviours	
  have	
  been	
  identified	
  in	
  the	
  literature	
  
(Crossman	
  &	
  Crossman	
  2011),	
  Favara	
  (2009)	
  argues	
  that	
  ‘exemplary’	
  followers	
  are	
  strategically	
  
advantageous	
  for	
  organisations	
  to	
  attract,	
  train	
  and	
  keep.	
  Contrary	
  to	
  the	
  perception	
  good	
  
followers	
  take	
  direction	
  without	
  challenging	
  their	
  leader,	
  “exemplary	
  followers	
  take	
  initiative	
  
without	
  being	
  prompted,	
  assume	
  ownership	
  of	
  problems,	
  and	
  participate	
  actively	
  in	
  decision-­‐
making”	
  (Banutu-­‐Gomez	
  2011).	
  	
  
	
  
Blackshear	
  (2004)	
  argued	
  the	
  development	
  of	
  exemplary	
  followers	
  optimises	
  an	
  organisation’s	
  
productivity	
  by	
  enabling	
  individual	
  employees	
  to	
  provide	
  their	
  best	
  contributions.	
  According	
  to	
  
Favara	
  (2009),	
  exemplary	
  followers	
  can	
  improve	
  organisational	
  outcomes	
  by:	
  
• Empowering	
  leaders;	
  
• Cooperating	
  with	
  others	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  achieve	
  organisational	
  goals;	
  	
  
• Experiencing	
  higher	
  levels	
  of	
  job	
  satisfaction	
  than	
  pragmatist	
  or	
  conformist	
  followers;	
  and	
  
• Performing	
  more	
  effectively	
  than	
  pragmatist	
  or	
  conformist	
  followers.	
  
	
  
Given	
  the	
  benefits	
  exemplary	
  followers	
  offer

  and

  evidence	
  presented,

6. Conclusion	
  
	
  
This	
  essay	
  has	
  explored	
  the	
  profound	
  influence	
  of	
  leadership	
  on	
  the	
  effective	
  governance	
  of	
  an	
  
organisation.	
  The	
  third	
  section	
  of	
  this	
  essay	
  positioned	
  leadership	
  as	
  the	
  key	
  driving	
  force	
  behind	
  
corporate	
  governance,	
  and	
  argued	
  the	
  long-­‐term	
  success	
  and	
  vitality	
  of	
  any	
  organisation	
  depends	
  
on	
  both	
  strong	
  leadership	
  and	
  governance	
  processes.	
  	
  
	
  
The	
  examples	
  in	
  the	
  fourth	
  section	
  of	
  this	
  essay	
  demonstrated	
  how	
  well-­‐designed	
  leadership	
  
development	
  programs	
  can	
  help	
  an	
  organisation	
  to	
  remain	
  effective	
  and	
  sustainable	
  by	
  enhancing	
  
direction,	
  alignment	
  and	
  commitment.	
  The	
  final	
  section	
  of	
  this	
  essay	
  provided	
  empirical	
  evidence	
  
to	
  support	
  the	
  critical	
  role	
  of	
  effective	
  followership	
  in	
  achieving	
  superior	
  organisational	
  outcomes.	
  
	
  
This	
  essay	
  has	
  demonstrated	
  that	
  organisations	
  operating	
  in	
  complex,	
  rapidly	
  changing	
  
environments	
  can	
  achieve	
  optimal	
  organisational	
  outcomes	
  and	
  maintain	
  effective	
  governance	
  
processes	
  by	
  encouraging	
  ethical	
  leadership,	
  implementing	
  well-­‐designed	
  leadership	
  development	
  
programs	
  and	
  supporting	
  effective	
  followership.

leadership and governance

  • 1. Does  leadership     impact  upon  the   effective  governance     of  organisations?       Prepared  by     Nicole  Brown     December  2013  
  • 2. The  Impact  of  Leadership  on  Governance   Prepared  by  Nicole  Brown  (December  2013)   Page  1  of  11   1. Introduction     Strong  leadership  and  governance  processes  are  vital  for  organisations  to  survive  in  a  complex,   rapidly  changing  environment.  Emerging  research  also  suggests  relationship  exist  between   organisational  outcomes  and  both  leadership  development  and  effective  followership.  This  essay   aims  to  explore  the  effect  of  leadership  on  governance  outcomes,  and  the  influence  of  leadership   development  and  followership  on  organisational  outcomes.       The  first  section  of  this  essay  will  clearly  define  the  terms  ‘leadership’  and  ‘governance’.  Section   two  will  contrast  the  roles  of  leaders  and  the  roles  of  executives  or  managers.  The  third  section  of   this  essay  will  argue  leadership  is  the  key  internal  driving  force  behind  governance  outcomes  in   organisations.  Section  four  will  provide  examples  that  demonstrate  how  well-­‐designed  leadership   development  programs  can  greatly  enhance  organisational  outcomes.  The  fifth  and  final  section   will  present  evidence  that  supports  the  relationship  between  effective  followership  and  superior   organisational  outcomes.     Leadership  and  Governance  Definitions   Defining  the  scope  and  intent  of  the  terms  ‘leadership’  and  ‘governance’  is  elusive  (Davila  et  al.   2012).  Although  leadership  can  be  defined  simplistically  as  “the  influence  of  others  toward  a   collective  goal”  (Mumford  2010,  p.  5),  Van  Wart  (2005,  p.  27)  argues  that  leadership  is  “a  complex   process  involving  numerous  traits  and  skills.  Leaders  must  refine  and  modify  their  styles  for   different  situations.  Leadership  achieves  predetermined  goals  and  leaders  continually  self-­‐ evaluate  their  own  performance.”     Organisations  need  governance  structures  to  determine  their  direction  and  achieve  optimal   performance  outcomes  (Carcello  2008).  Governance  structures  also  maintain  an  organisation’s   accountability,  reputation  and  integrity  (Broni  &  Velentzas  2012).  du  Plessis,  Hargovan  and  Bagaric   (2011,  p.  10)  define  corporate  governance  as  a  system  that:   • Regulates  and  oversees  corporate  conduct;   • Considers  the  interests  of  both  internal  and  external  stakeholders;   • Ensures  responsible  behaviour  by  corporations;  and     • Achieves  the  maximum  level  of  efficiency  and  productivity.    
  • 3. The  Impact  of  Leadership  on  Governance   Prepared  by  Nicole  Brown  (December  2013)   Page  2  of  11   2. Differences  between  Leaders  and  Managers     Table  1  below  summarises  the  key  differences  between  leaders  and  managers,  yet  these  roles  are   not  mutually-­‐exclusive  because  “a  good  manager  can  be  a  leader”  (Khan  2008,  p.  96).       Table  1:  Key  differences  between  leaders  and  managers.   Characteristics  of  Leaders   Characteristics  of  Managers   • A  leader  is  “a  strategist,  a  visionary,  and   someone  who  inspires  to  greatness”   (Carlson  &  Donohoe  2010,  p.  8).   • Leaders  emerge  depending  on  situational   factors  and  have  personal  power  to  lead   by  influencing  others  (Tripathi  &  Reddy   2008).   • Leader  share  mutual  objectives  with  their   followers  (Tripathi  &  Reddy  2008).   • Leaders  are  innovative,  proactive  and  get   compliance  without  invoking  position   (Khan  2008).   • A  leader  can  “initiate  change  by   communicating  a  vision  or  goals  and   seeking  to  inspire  others  into  action”   (Mumford  2010,  p.  7).   • A  manager  “focusses  on  efficiency,   effectiveness  and  making  sure  the  right   things  happen  at  the  right  time”  (Carlson   &  Donohoe  2010,  p.  8).   • Managers  are  appointed  to  positions  of   power  and  have  authority  over   subordinates  (Tripathi  &  Reddy  2008).   • Managers  seek  objectives  that  often  clash   with  subordinates’  objectives  (Tripathi  &   Reddy  2008).   • Managers  are  followers  of  an  initiative   who  are  reactive  and  depend  on  authority   to  get  compliance  (Khan  2008).   • Managers  supervise,  control  or  direct  a   group  of  employees  towards  the   achievement  of  a  common  goal   (Zimmerman  2002).   • Managers  are  employed  in  a  defined   position  within  an  organisation  with   employees  that  report  to  them   (Zimmerman  2002).   • Managers  “produce  organisation,   structure,  clear  problem  solving  and   action”  (Mumford  2010,  p.  6).    
  • 4. The  Impact  of  Leadership  on  Governance   Prepared  by  Nicole  Brown  (December  2013)   Page  3  of  11   3. The  Influence  of  Leadership  on  Governance  Outcomes     The  long-­‐term  success  and  vitality  of  any  organisation  depends  on  both  strong  leadership  and   governance  processes  (Davila  et  al.  2012).  Ideally  corporate  governance  and  leadership  will  have  a   symbiotic  relationship  (Davies  2006),  since  “good  leadership  can  ‘energize’  governance,  while   good  governance  can  serve  to  sustain  leadership”  (Davila  et  al.  2012  p.  70).       Good  corporate  governance  helps  leaders  to  engage  stakeholders  while  remaining  focused  on  the   company’s  purpose  and  interests  (Davies  2006).  Leaders  have  to  achieve  the  company’s  economic   goal  of  profitability,  while  simultaneously  integrating  the  objectives  of  creating  a  stimulating  work   environment,  exceeding  customer  expectations,  making  sound  investments,  creating  sustainable   relationships  with  external  stakeholders  and  demonstrating  outstanding  social  responsibility  (Canal   2010).     Leadership  is  the  key  internal  driving  force  behind  corporate  governance  (Davies  2011,  Broni  &   Velentzas  2012)  because  “leadership  provides  the  motivation  and  impetus  to  make  corporate   governance  effective”  (Davies  2006,  p.  41).    Leaders  exert  a  strong  influence  on  an  organisation’s   governance  outcomes,  particularly  in  times  of  financial  decline  because  effective  leadership  is   needed  to  restore  financial  stability  (Kassey,  Thompson  &  Wright  2005).  For  example,  leadership  by   a  Continuous  Improvement  Team  effectively  transformed  “a  sluggish,  unprofitable  bureaucracy  into   a  streamlined,  world-­‐class  manufacturer  with  a  solid  reputation  as  an  innovator”  (Broni  &  Velentzas   2012,  p.  63).     The  outcomes  of  governance  structures  that  regulate  corporate  conduct  and  uphold  responsible   corporate  behaviour  can  be  strongly  influenced  by  leadership.  Leaders  that  pursue  ethically  virtuous   choices  honour  governance  obligations  and  also  create  greater  long-­‐term  wealth  for  the   organisation  (Caldwell,  Hayes  &  Long  2010).  Leaders  demonstrate  ethical  conduct  through  their   interpersonal  relationships,  communication  and  decision  making  (Brown,  Trevino  &  Harrison  2005),   and  ethical  culture  infuses  ethical  values  throughout  an  organisation  (Schwartz  2013).       Unethical  leadership  can  significantly  harm  an  organisation  (Hunter  2012),  particularly  given  that  a   leader’s  decisions  influence  the  governance  of  shareholders’  wealth  (Yocam  &  Choi  2010).  A  leader’s  
  • 5. The  Impact  of  Leadership  on  Governance   Prepared  by  Nicole  Brown  (December  2013)   Page  4  of  11   inaction  can  lead  to  irresponsible  corporate  behaviour,  for  instance  leaders  that  fail  to  ensure  the   reliability  of  financial  reporting  for  investment  and  credit  decisions  (Carcello  2008).         Conversely,  ethical  leaders  can  improve  accountability  and  transparency  within  the  organisation  by   positively  influencing  the  behaviour  of  followers,  since  employees  with  ethical  leaders  are  more   willing  to  report  problems  (Hunter  2012).  Given  ethical  leadership  reduces  absenteeism  (Schwartz   2013),  counter-­‐productive  employee  behaviours  (Hunter  2012)  and  business  costs  (Walumbwa,   Morrison  &  Christensen  2012),  ethical  leadership  enhances  governance  structures  that  improve  an   organisation’s  efficiency  and  productivity.     The  third  section  of  this  essay  has  explained  why  ethical  leadership  is  the  key  internal  driving  force   behind  governance  outcomes  in  organisations.  The  next  section  will  explore  the  role  of  leadership   development  programs  in  enhancing  organisational  outcomes.         4. The  Influence  of  Leadership  Development  on  Organisational  Outcomes     Leadership  development  is  the  strategic  investment  in  structured,  integrated  opportunities,   training  and  experiences  to  support  an  individual’s  learning,  growth  and  change  (Lawson  2008).   Well-­‐designed  leadership  development  programs  can  greatly  improve  organisational  performance   and  outcomes  (Pfeffermann  2012).     Effective  leadership  development  programs  “fit  the  requirements  of  both  the  organizations  and   the  leaders”  (Riggio  2008,  p.  390)  by  focusing  on  learning  and  development  at  the  individual  and   the  organisational  level  simultaneously  (Wolf  et  al.  2011).  Effective  leadership  development   programs  also  “need  to  be  theory-­‐driven,  use  proven  methods,  be  integrated  into  ongoing   organizational  processes,  evaluated  for  effectiveness  and  substantial”  (Riggio  2008,  p.  390).     In  complex,  rapidly  changing  environments  the  leadership  outcomes  of  direction,  alignment  and   commitment  help  organisations  to  remain  effective  and  sustainable  (Van  Velsor,  McCauley  &   Ruderman  2010),  since  “effective  leadership  is  integral  to  organisational  effectiveness”  (Muchiri,   Cooksey  &  Walumbwa  2012,  pp.  663).  According  to  Seshie  (2011)  leadership  development  enables   leaders  to  improve  organisational  outcomes  by:  
  • 6. The  Impact  of  Leadership  on  Governance   Prepared  by  Nicole  Brown  (December  2013)   Page  5  of  11   • Learning  to  recognise  opportunities  to  change  systems  and  procedures  so  that  the   organisation  can  function  and  perform  better.   • Building  the  organisation’s  capacity  to  avoid  risks  that  could  compromise  the  organisations   existence,  and  therefore  improving  the  economic  sustainability  of  an  organisation.   • Acquiring  the  skills  and  knowledge  to  identify  and  respond  appropriately  to  potential   resistance  to  the  organisation’s  growth.   • Gaining  skills  to  cope  with  any  change  within  the  organisation.     Companies  invest  billions  of  dollars  every  year  on  leadership  development  training  (Shuck  &  Herd   2012),  and  the  value  of  this  investment  is  reflected  in  the  following  five  examples  that  describe  the   significant  impact  of  leadership  development  on  long  term  organisational  outcomes:     1. McGurk  (2010)  demonstrated  an  ‘Inspirational  Leadership’  programme  significantly   contributed  to  strategic  change  because  participants  defined  and  addressed  their  own   learning  needs  surrounding  specific  strategic  implementation  issues.     2. Hayward  (2011)  reported  that  the  company  Hiscox  achieved  almost  a  700  per  cent  return   on  investment  on  a  leadership  development  program,  based  on  the  program  cost  per   participant  and  by  using  participants’  salaries  increases  since  completing  the  program  as   the  performance  indicator.  Other  benefits  of  Hiscox’s  leadership  development  program   included  “open  and  frequent  communication”,  “improved  performance  management   involving  honest  conversations  with  staff”  and  “positive  behavioral  and  cultural  changes”   (Hayward  2011,  p.  33).     3. Coloma,  Gibson  and  Packard  (2012)  surveyed  over  ninety  supervisors  of  leadership   development  program  graduates,  who  reported  significant  improvements  in  the  graduates’   job  performance  and  increased  work  quality,  quantity  and  responsibilities  that  contributed   to  the  fulfilment  of  organisational  performance  goals.  Among  the  twenty-­‐precent  of   graduates  that  had  been  promoted,  the  leadership  development  program  was  perceived  to   be  pivotal  to  their  promotion  to  a  moderate  or  great  extent.       4. Pfeffermann  (2012)  demonstrated  the  effectiveness  of  leadership  development  programs   for  health  organisations  in  the  developing  world.  As  a  result  of  a  leadership  development

McCallum  and  O’Donnell  (2009)  demonstrated  a  leadership  development  enhanced  social   capital  skills  and  significantly  improved  outcomes  in  organisations  with  shifting  supplier   relationships  and  ongoing  personnel  changes  due  to  mergers  and  acquisitions.     The  five  examples  above  demonstrated  that  well-­‐designed  leadership  development  programs  can   greatly  improve  organisational  outcomes.  The  final  section  of  this  essay  will  explore  whether   effective  followership  also  affects  organisational  outcomes.     5. The  Influence  of  Effective  Followership  on  Organisational  Outcomes     An  organisation’s  success  depends  on  the  effectiveness  and  contribution  of  each  follower  (Mercer   2011),  and  followership  enhances  organisational  effectiveness  (Crossman  &  Crossman  2011).   Favara  (2009,  p.  14)  defined  followership  as  “the  capacity  and  behavioural  volition  to  be   influenced  in  order  to  actively  partner  and  participate  in  the  accomplishment  of  a  shared  goal  or   outcome”.       Followership  culture  creates  synergism  between  employees  and  their  work  and  produces  superior   organisational  outcomes,  particularly  when  clear  principles  guide  work  and  harmonious   relationships  (Mercer  2011).  Organisational  outcomes  can  be  improved  by  enhancing  followership   skills,  since  “good  followers  derive  greater  satisfaction,  attract  higher  remuneration,  achieve  self-­‐ actualization  and  enhance  organizational  effectiveness  and  adaptability”  (Crossman  &  Crossman   2011).     A  recent  study  by  Kim  and  Schachter  (in  press)  provided  empirical  evidence  that  followership   mediates  the  relationship  between  participative  leadership  and  organisational  performance.  These   Authors  demonstrated  followers  improved  organisational  outcomes  by  being  actively  engaged,   participative,  professional  and  proactive,  thinking  independently  and  getting  the  job  done.  Argo   (2009)  demonstrated  a  perception  among  surveyed  senior  executives  that  effective  followers   influence  work  performance,  quality  of  work  output,  satisfaction  and  morale,  and  cohesiveness  of   work  groups.    
  • 8. The  Impact  of  Leadership  on  Governance   Prepared  by  Nicole  Brown  (December  2013)   Page  7  of  11   Although  Caldwell  et  al.  (2008,  p.  155)  suggested  “leaders  influence  followers  to  achieve   organisational  objectives  through  change’’,  followership  can  also  lead  to  destructive  organisational   outcomes.  For  example,  in  organisations  with  an  unethical  culture  followers  can  use  power  and   influence  tactics  to  conform  and  collude  with  destructive  leaders  (Uhl-­‐Bien  et  al.  in  press).     Since  followership  complements  leadership  (Crossman  &  Crossman  2011),  it  can  be  argued  that   different  leadership  styles  that  influence  followership  will  also  impact  on  organisational  outcomes.   For  example,  Sosik  and  Jung  (2010)  assert  that  followers  who  experience  transformational   leadership  achieve  positive  organisational  outcomes  because  the  followers:   • Feel  more  empowered  and  engaged  in  their  work.   • Exert  extra  effort.   • Perform  tasks  that  go  beyond  their  formal  job  description.   • Are  more  satisfied  with  their  leader.   • Perform  better  and  more  creatively.     Although  over  twenty-­‐five  types  of  followership  behaviours  have  been  identified  in  the  literature   (Crossman  &  Crossman  2011),  Favara  (2009)  argues  that  ‘exemplary’  followers  are  strategically   advantageous  for  organisations  to  attract,  train  and  keep.  Contrary  to  the  perception  good   followers  take  direction  without  challenging  their  leader,  “exemplary  followers  take  initiative   without  being  prompted,  assume  ownership  of  problems,  and  participate  actively  in  decision-­‐ making”  (Banutu-­‐Gomez  2011).       Blackshear  (2004)  argued  the  development  of  exemplary  followers  optimises  an  organisation’s   productivity  by  enabling  individual  employees  to  provide  their  best  contributions.  According  to   Favara  (2009),  exemplary  followers  can  improve  organisational  outcomes  by:   • Empowering  leaders;   • Cooperating  with  others  in  order  to  achieve  organisational  goals;     • Experiencing  higher  levels  of  job  satisfaction  than  pragmatist  or  conformist  followers;  and   • Performing  more  effectively  than  pragmatist  or  conformist  followers.     Given  the  benefits  exemplary  followers  offer  organisations,  and  the  other  evidence  presented,  the   final  section  of  this  essay  has  demonstrated  a  strong  relationship  between  followership  and   organisational  effectiveness.

Conclusion     This  essay  has  explored  the  profound  influence  of  leadership  on  the  effective  governance  of  an   organisation.  The  third  section  of  this  essay  positioned  leadership  as  the  key  driving  force  behind   corporate  governance,  and  argued  the  long-­‐term  success  and  vitality  of  any  organisation  depends   on  both  strong  leadership  and  governance  processes.       The  examples  in  the  fourth  section  of  this  essay  demonstrated  how  well-­‐designed  leadership   development  programs  can  help  an  organisation  to  remain  effective  and  sustainable  by  enhancing   direction,  alignment  and  commitment.  The  final  section  of  this  essay  provided  empirical  evidence   to  support  the  critical  role  of  effective  followership  in  achieving  superior  organisational  outcomes.     This  essay  has  demonstrated  that  organisations  operating  in  complex,  rapidly  changing   environments  can  achieve  optimal  organisational  outcomes  and  maintain  effective  governance   processes  by  encouraging  ethical  leadership,  implementing  well-­‐designed  leadership  development   programs  and  supporting  effective  followership.
