Document Summary

Leadership the influence that particular individuals exert on the goal achievement of others in an organizational context. Institutionalized socialization consists of collective, formal, sequential, fixed, serial, and investiture tactics. Individualized socialization consists of individual, informal, random, variable, disjunctive, and divestiture tactics. The main difference between them is that institutionalized socialization reflects a more formalized and structured program of socialization that reduces uncertainty and encourages new hires to accept organizational norms and maintain the status quo. Individualized socialization reflects a relative absence of structure that creates ambiguity and encourages new hires to question the status quo and develop their own approach to their role. Strategic leaders are open and honest in their interactions with the organization"s stakeholders, and they focus on the future. Trait theory of leadership leadership depends on the personal qualities or traits of the leader. Traits are individual characteristics such as physical attributes, intellectual ability, and personality.
