Leadership and its respective impact on organizational coherence and profitability are not as simple as they appear first. Though it is obvious that leadership personnel and style will have a significant impact, it is unclear as to what factors influence the leadership itself. Internal and external factors that influence organizational coherence also impact the leadership.

Essentially, management at virtually all levels carry the burden of leadership that is designed to guide the organizational members toward achieving the strategic vision of the institution. Hence, one has to assume that clear organizational strategic vision is the corner stone of enablement to achieve pre determine goals. 
Similarly talent acquisition and maintenance has its own place in this equation. Without properly educated, experienced and talented management personnel, the frontline employees may not be as effective and efficient. It is important to emphasize that there are certainly exceptions, yet it is generally accepted practice that organizational success and coherence is credited to effective and viable management.

Further, factors such as knowledge and knowledge management may be of significant impact. Even clearly talented, educated and experienced managers require further education to maintain their ability to be effective leaders. Hence, knowledge management procedures have to researched and implemented in a way that would benefit the management personnel.

Nevertheless, there are certainly factors that impact the leadership but are out of the control of organizational leaders. Such factors may include internal and external social and cultural factors, economic and market conditions, as well as external national or international competition. The impact of factors that are out of the control of stakeholders can negatively impact the outcome of management leadership.

Ultimately, organizational desire to employ most suited management personnel is simply another strategy to enhance effectiveness, efficiency and profitability. The most viable methodology to achieve the desired outcome will depend on many factors that may or may not be desirable or static. The dynamic nature of the business world certainly creates new challenges to management and stakeholders.
