The behavior of a leader has a direct impact on the morale of the followers. Evans (2001) notes that leadership is a critical element of morale, job satisfaction and motivation among professionals. Leaders affect morale in a number of ways. The first is that leaders set a positive tone for the organization. The second is that leaders develop the systems that create motivation for workers on a day-to-day level and the third is that leaders create a vision and enthusiasm within the organization. The issue can also be approached from the negative bad leaders tend to remove these traits from organizations, to the detriment of morale.

The economic and political development cultivates the global vision and perspective of companies. An increasing number of companies opt for forming the collaboration relationship with foreign partners. Those companies strive to fully utilize the complementary strengths and achieve a win-win situation such as increasing profitability, higher production efficiency, access to a new market and lower production cost. (Cavusgil, Ghauri and Agarwal, 2014)

There are many examples of poor leadership behavior in today’s workplace. Inadequate leadership can be detrimental not only to a team within an organization, but also to the entire organization itself. I believe it is vital for upper management to ensure that their leaders are properly trained and aware of how to handle certain situations and employees. When a leader’s weaknesses are overlooked, large problems occur.
