Thesis Statement: Employee engagement improves the success of corporate leadership in steering the organization towards a sustainable achievement of its objectives.

Background

For a long time, organizational research has placed so much emphasis on leaders that employees have been viewed as subordinate organizational stakeholder who relies on leadership for their performance. A successful leader is seen as one who is perceptually inspirational and responsible for guiding organization’s human resource to commit to the achievement of both the short term and long term goals of the organization. While these assertions have been empirically proven to be true, an immense emphasis on the leader has resulted in the theoretical neglect of the role of the employee in achieving the success of the leader.

Justification: A message to the President

While research has repeatedly presented the relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance, no study has expressly established the influencing role of engagement on the success of leadership. It is, however, evident that the employees are the backbone of an organization, and the leadership, a guide within this critical resource. This topic is vital for any organization that aims at optimizing the performance of its human resource and thus sustainably achieving the objectives of the organization. The sustainable aspect of this topic follows the fact that seeing the employees as a facet of leadership success creates an organizational culture that imparts a sense of leadership in all employees. The leadership is not only capable of treating each employee individually but also ensures that each of the employees employs their competencies and experience to complement that leader’s efforts towards organizational success. As a result, the employees are capable of driving the corporate agenda even in the absence of the leadership. The ability of employees to drive the company’s agenda is important to any organization, especially, in the current work environment where the transfer and poaching of top leaders are rampant in all global industries. The exit of a single leader leaves an employee team that is coherent and intimated to the organization strategy and objectives.
As an organization, you need to consider this topic for its many potential advantages to your company. If aptly explored, the topic will help the organization establish an organizational culture that places the employees at the core of the organization’s management. With this, you shall be competent that switches from one leader to another will not affect the performance of the organization since the culture of engaging employees in leadership shall have created a sustainable commitment of all the stakeholders towards organizational goals. The topic if effectively studied may also awaken the leaders and invoke the practical realization that they are a part of a large team whose members must actively contribute to the betterment of the organization. This reconciliation between the leadership and subordinates nullifies any conflicts between the two and emphasizes the good of the organization. This way, the focus of each member of the organization shifts to the overall success of the firm.
