s type of leadership are: idealized influence (charismatic leadership), inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. Wu and group (2007) describe each characteristics starting with individualized consideration, followed by inspirational motivation and idealized influence, and lastly of intellectual stimulation. Individualized consideration is the dimension where the leader attends to the needs and wants of the followers. This is done through mentoring, supporting, encouraging, and coaching with special attention given on how to enhance and properly use their individual competencies. Inspirational motivation is the dimension where the leader poses a compelling vision to be achieved by using affective and values-relevant arguments that aims to generate a sense of collective identification. Further, idealized influence is the dimension where the leader acts as the role model whom the followers emulate. This is exemplified in situations that require sacrificing personal benefits for the group’s common good, projecting an image that is supported by commendable performance, , and holding on the practices of ethical decision making. Lastly, intellectual stimulation is the dimension where the leader is challenged by the followers to have critical and analytical skills in facing problems and looking on different perspectives in order to come up with most appropriate solutions. It also includes the encouragement of followers to be mindful of impending problems and challenges that will affect the group and the whole organisation.


Divisional organizations
Split into self-contained units, able to react to environmental changes as quickly as small companies, they are also described as multidivisional or 'M-form' organizations. (...) Divisions encourage team spirit and identification with a product or region. Managers can develop broad skills as they have control of all basic functions. (...) Each division is likely to have a devolved human resource function. But there is a risk of duplicating activities between head office and divisional human resource departments and of conflict between staff in successful and unsuccessful divisions. (...) The divisional function may play a coordinating role, reconciling decisions taken at the corporate and business unit levels. This results in a complex picture of people management.

Roberts (2004: 32) argues that whereas strategic choice and organizational design are are immensely complex - indeed, 'mindbogglingly complicated' - there is an underlying logic based on the concept of 'fit':

Certain strategies and organizational designs do fit one another and the environment, and thus produce good performance, and others do not. Moreover, there are frequently recognizable, understandable, and predictable relations among the environmental features and the choice variables of strategy and organization that determine which constellations of choices will do well and which are less likely to do so. These relations arise for both technological and behavioral reasons. Recognizing these relations and understanding their implications can guide the design problem."
