Case Analysis D: Leadership DynamicsCase Analysis D: Leadership Dynamics Capital Veterinarian Clinic, CVC, is a veterinary clinic offering preventive and curative healthcare services to animals. It was founded by Dr. Robert Stevenson in 1971. CVC's staff has grown significantly over the years. Leadership is a critical part of the organization, just like any other business. Leadership is the process of planning, coordinating, motivating and organizing in order to influence others to achieve set goals and objectives. Leadership is a dynamic exercise and has an effect on achieving goals in any organization. Therefore, this paper will examine the leadership dynamics of the CVC and the skills of good leaders. CVC has mixed leadership dynamics. Some of his leadership criteria are good, but there are also some bad aspects to his leadership. CVC has a good organizational structure. This provides a good platform for the organization's leadership to reach down to the lower levels of staff. For example, interns join the organization under the supervision of staff veterinarians, who report to the senior staff veterinarian, who in turn reports to the clinic director. Such a hierarchy ensures adequate supervision at lower levels. The activities carried out by the low-level staff of the organization can be well monitored and coordinated. Even with such a well-structured hierarchy, the organization's leadership still faces some challenges. The lack of magnetic influence from some leaders is one of the bottlenecks. This is evident in the case of Dr. Silverstein who resigned due to her poor management techniques. She lacked leadership magnetism and proper communication techniques. Couldn't handle leadership... middle of paper... they work well if their leaders have these key traits. Good leadership goes a long way. It is a motivator for employees, improves the functionality and productivity of an organization and also improves the image of an organization for customers. If all leaders at different levels of the hierarchy employed these characteristics, the organization would function very effectively. References Lunenburg, F. C. (2011).
