Answer 1

Talking about innovation, technology, and the concept of “going green”, the role of Emerging leaders are very important to the concepts of strategies for Organizational change. Emerging leaders are such leaders in the world that help to contribute to the sustainable change or pick up such skills or go for a knowledge quest in order to lead others by forming such collaborations that could be effective in a team. The skills so gained by these leaders help in overcoming the leadership constraints in any given organization especially when it comes to the Organizational change. Innovation, Technology and green efforts are important considerations in the study of change because change largely impact the performance of the employees. The employee’s responsiveness and cooperation to the change efforts align with the Organizational mission when the employees are convinced that the technology and innovation can make their task and work life easier and that such a change can provide them a ‘Feel good’ factor when their contribution could be related to the Corporate Social Responsibility activity of ‘Going green’ in their individually possible way.

Hence, in this regard, all the Corporate leaders should strive together to create Sustainable Tools to cater to the environmental issues by undertaking a structural approach that helps in synergizing the evolution of changes within the industry this Organization is working with, in order to reduce the non-renewable sources of energy consumption as well as to contribute towards reduction in the carbon emission and other harmful gases that contributes to global warming by providing a structure that forms the basis of the integration of sustainable designs in the Organization where, with proper application of the sustainable tools, the most cost-effective and sustainable outcomes could be achieved.

From the point of view of employee benefits, employing the veterans forms the part of the social responsibility concept as well. As a part of the Corporate Social Responsibility, hiring a veteran provides a chance to the Organization to create a favorable image of itself among the Public that it values the selfless service that these veterans have provided to the nation. Veteran would generally support the Organizational goals to the best of the abilities, committing to realizing the objectives aligning the same and thereby stimulating more commitment among the employees to achieve the same. The veteran could be a vast pool of leadership talents that is significant to guide the employees in the Organization. Veteran could also have a strong intuition based upon their varied experiences including the life and death situations, thereby facilitating the survival strategy for the Organization. If training is imparted, veteran could be more receptive to the same thereby enhancing the efficiency at the workplace. The veteran is the one who would also be in the position to appreciate the value of efforts and hard work in a better way.
