Abstract:
Leadership is influencing employees to voluntarily pursue organizational goals. Leadership is also
getting people to follow, even if they have another choice. To lead effectively, managers must motivate
others to want to be lead or get people to choose to follow. What makes this difficult are the barriers
thrown in based on the multitude of cultures that we have in the current work place tied to the current
economic state of the world. Using compassion towards employees creates an environment of employee
buy-in that will decrease turn-over and increase the need to do better for the organization.
