explain why leadership is important in strategy implementation describe…

- - - - As discussed earlier, there are two contrasting views on the importance of leadership. The more traditional view follows the idea that leadership is critical for success. The opposing view rejects this idea because a large number of constraining factors limit the power of leaders. It suggests that, although anything that happens, good or bad, is attributed to the actions of leaders,
        this attribution is a simplistic explanation for a complex series of events in which leaders have played only a minor part. In this module, we acknowledge that, while leadership is not the only factor in determining success, it is still an essential component and has a major influence.
        
        Because strategic success is complex, it requires a coordinated effort from the organisation, which needs an effective strategic leader. Successful strategies require commitment, not just acceptance. Therefore, one of the roles of leaders in the organisation is to inspire commitment.
        
        , organisations are increasingly using the strategy process as an approach to stay in front of the competition
    - - Structure and the environment determine leadership style
        
        There is a view that the organisational structure and internal culture act as significant determinants of the style of leadership chosen, and the ultimate success or failure of that leader.
        
        the environment in which the organisation operates plays a large part in determining the type of leader that will be effective, and forms part of the challenges and constraints that
        the leader will encounter.
        
        view treats leadership as a function and reflection of the organisation, not a personal behaviour
      - Over-attribution of outcomes to leaders rather than the overall organisation
        Attribution Theory
        
        argues that people attempt to make sense of events by seeing outcomes in terms of external or internal causes.
    - - A broader
        understanding of leadership and organisational outcomes is afforded by recognising the context and the structural forces within which leaders must act.
