Organizational ecosystems

We’ve far moved from organizational ecosystems that where typically managed through autocratic and
authoritative leadership styles. The current and typical organizational environment is one where a “leader” must
prioritize relationship building based on mutual respect, cultural tolerance, and strategic empowerment. Your

employees within the work unit develop rapport as well. This relationship emphasis, allows the supervisor to
develop a connection with employees that helps in coaching, offering constructive feedback and challenging
workers to reach new heights (source: Kokemuller, 2016).
