The Effects of CEO`s Strategic Leadership on Organizational Evolution and Effectiveness - Based on in-depth Case Studies

This study attempts to see organizational effectiveness in relation to the growth or decline of an organization from a comprehensive view and to examine the effects of CEO s strategic leadership on organizational effectiveness from a dynamic view of organizational evolution. After reestablishing strategic leadership from a more comprehensive point of view, this study designs a comprehensive and dynamic model and analyzes the cases of GE and Samsung in depth. Top executives who see a variety of organizational effectiveness from balanced points of view focus on effective criteria according to organizational evolution processes and select adequate leadership behaviors. During the reorientation period, they show transformational leadership behaviors such as providing strategic vision, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration to each employee that bring about changes in strategy, structure, and the values and behaviors of the members, which improve the organization s environmental adaptability and the members commitment to vision and values. During the convergence period, they show tranactional leadership behaviors such as the elaboration and strengthening of values and beliefs, assignment of clear roles, strict compensation and penalties, and management through a system that results in concrete execution of visions and strategy, improvement of productivity, and strengthened behaviors and competencies of the members, which eventually result in efficiency and the gradual stabilization of the organization. Meanwhile, those who are open minded, conscientious, and have various work experiences recognize organizational effectiveness in a balanced manner. As well, the owner-manager has absolute power in Korean companies ; those in that position have fewer constraints on thoughts and actions compared to the professional manager of U.S. companies under the restriction of corporate governance, so there are fewer objections and oppositions to organizational changes in Korean companies.
