Question:
Waldman and O’Reilly (2019) wrote, "To many people, it may seem obvious that leadership in organizations is important. But let’s break down some of the reasons. From the viewpoint of an organization, several specifics reinforce the importance of leadership. First, better leadership is associated with the attraction and retention of better performers. When a firm has better leadership, the world tends to spread throughout that firm’s industry, and it develops a reputation as a place in which people want to be employed. The firm then has the advantage of having a better applicant pool of talented individuals in various job categories. Moreover, once hired, employees tend to not quit firms that are stocked with effective leaders."
