Organizational Leadership
Organization refers to a group of people who make the intentional decision to be work together primarily to accomplish a set or common goal. Organizations mostly exist in the form of entities that comprise multiple and large populations of people, such as associations or institutions, that have the collective goal linked to the external environment. There are various legal organizations, including international organizations, governmental and non-governmental organizations, cooperation and cooperatives, charities, armed forces, for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, partnerships, and educational institutions. Organizational leadership is a dual that is chiefly focused on improving the management approach that can effectively and simultaneously work towards the best interests of the individuals and the group. Organizational leadership is thus about management and is transformative by shifting the priorities in workers and creating distinctive followers by articulating a vision (Bratton, 2020). Therefore, every organization is considered to be constituting complimentary parts that assist each other in creating smooth functioning, guided by different models, theories, and styles.

Reflective Human Action Leadership Development Model
Reflective human action is an active mind-engaging process of making meaning through communication in specified community practices. The reflective Human Action Leadership Development (RHALD) model chiefly bases its foundation as a communications tool framework. The model is hypothesized to enable individuals to have the ability to assume the responsibilities of leadership as professionals. The model comprises four core features: features of action, concepts of authenticity, ethical sensibility, and spirituality (Mitstifer, 2015).
