Organizational Culture 

             The difference in companies lies in the uniqueness of their organizational culture. Corporate culture is a system in a company that centralizes the beliefs and values used for governing the firm (Alvinius, 2017, pp.182-200). These systems have different characteristics depending on the field of operation, for instance, teamwork and efficient service delivery. However, every organization has barriers than hinder progress. 

Organizational Barriers 

           Organizational cultures correlate with leadership and their behavior. Leaders influence employee’s behavior and attitudes by promoting corporate philosophy. Nevertheless, there is no good organizational culture without resistance. Regulatory barriers comprise hindrances to the flow of information in the working environment. These barriers include company policies, facilities, structure, and job positions in an organization. Organizational policies depending on corporate culture. Systems require specific methods of relaying information in a firm that employees must comply. Additionally, job positions categorize employees in superiority. These barriers may be a hindrance to nurse leaders when disseminating information or directives. 

Impact of Organizational Barriers to Nursing Leaders 

           If analyzed in terms of the category of the organizational culture barriers, then the structure widely contributes to powerlessness on nurse leadership. Under the corporate structure, channels of communications have levels or layers of information flow (Alvinius, 2017, pp.233-240). For instance, in IBM, employees share information from the top executive downwards and vice versa without any breakage unless necessary. On the other hand, nurses break protocol more often as the work comprises urgency. In IBM, a nurse leader would be powerless in information control. Moreover, Job positions in organizations categorize people. Superiority is a significant concern, especially in a business corporation. Nurse leaders would find it hard to incorporate advantages in 

management as their forms of service delivery are rather voluntary rather than directional. Attention to good, leadership, and management by employees results in positive outcomes.
