Organizational behavior affects all aspects of a corporate system. It affects organizational culture, leadership and management, and power and politics within an organization. It suffices to state that organizational behavior directly influences the productivity and efficiency of a company. Moonjoo (2017) argues that the type of behavior adopted by employees will either assure the fulfilment and achievement of the goals set or not. On the same note, organizational behavior affects the strategy that is to be implemented by the employees. This essay acts as a personal development portfolio that shows a personal interaction with the three stated factors about organizational behavior. The portfolio looks into three main aspects that relate heavily to organizational behavior. The three elements as asserted are corporate culture, leadership and management, and power and politics. During the organizational behavior course, the broadness of the concepts of organizational culture, leadership and management, and power and politics stood out. As per the requirement of the assignment, only the most relevant aspects of the three concepts will be discussed in this personal development portfolio. In regards to organizational culture, one issue that stood out was the impact of decentralization on organizational behavior. Moonjoo (2017) argues that many companies in this day and age have adopted a decentralized system. This means that such companies are managed at lower levels. Thus, to some extent, you can find that each department is run independently. Ellinas, Allan, and Johansson (2017) argue that for the decentralized system to work, organizational culture has to be streamlined. The argument behind this premise is that each department in an organization has to fully understand and take up organizational culture to encourage a predictable and confirmed way of doing things. In so doing, management in different departments will have an easier way of making decisions. It is important to note that due to globalization, many companies have become international. Streamlined and fully adopted organizational culture makes it easier for the management of such companies to keep in line with the standards of their headquarters. The impact of having a well-developed and well-understood organizational culture will have a trickle-down effect. Employees will become more motivated as they will fully embrace the said culture. Ellinas et al. (2017) explain that for organizational culture to act as a catalyst for employee motivation, the employees have to be actively involved in the culture. Therefore, the management has to use employee representatives that will then choose a specific culture that will help the company attain its goals. With this in mind, the concept of leadership becomes more practice-oriented as opposed to theory-oriented. The most interesting thing from the leadership and management discussions held in class was the trait theories of leadership. Indeed, there has been a lot of debate on the difference between leadership and management. One can state that the theory categorically highlights these differences. The trait theories of leadership state that personal characteristics in a leader are more significant compared to experience and management skills. The premise suggests that to be a leader, one must possess specific attributes. Ellinas et al. (2017) argue that characteristics such as empathy, respect, open-mindedness, assertiveness, and fairness are desirable
