At the foundation of any successful organization and its communication practices, systems and procedures is a very solid foundation of authenticity, transparency and trust. These three elements must pervade a corporate culture in order for it to attain a high level of performance and continued growth in turbulent times (Birasnav, Rangnekar, Dalpati, 2011). The highest performing companies have created a culture that celebrates and actively promotes organizational communication. Transformational leaders have been shown to be the catalyst of exceptional organization communications being attained and a culture of trust created and sustained (Dionne, Yammarino, Atwater, Spangler, 2004). The leader of any organization is the one ultimately responsible for creating this foundation of trust that enables highly effective organizational communications. It is the intent of this analysis to evaluate how this can be achieved. Analysis of a Leader's Impact on Organizational Communications Ultimately it is the leader of any organization who is responsible fro defining the vision of the enterprise, translating that vision into actionable steps that are pragmatic and clear, and then tailoring development programs to each associate. The role of the transformational leader is multifaceted and requires a balancing of people, processes and systems for an enterprise to attain a highly efficient and accurate level of organizational communications (Berson, Avolio, 2004). No significant change can be pushed onto employees or associates however, the longest-lasting changes emanate from how employees view their jobs, bosses, associates and the entire culture of a business (Crawford, 2005). For a leader to change an organization and increase its communication effectiveness, it must change the factors that influence every person in it to communicate more clearly and with greater accuracy and acuity. This is extremely difficult to do well, hence the perennial shortage of leaders in many organizations. Leaders must inspire associates within an enterprise to change internally and value accuracy and acuity of focus in communications before the company can ever change at a more strategic level (Dionne, Yammarino, Atwater, Spangler, 2004). The best leaders at creating a highly effective organizational communication structure and transformations are those that also are able to bring four critical factors into their businesses. These four factors include individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation and idealized influence (Birasnav, Rangnekar, Dalpati, 2011). These factors taken together form the foundation of transformational leadership (Hobman, Jackson, Jimmieson, Martin, 2011).
