Change within organizational context is a critical thing, which has to be effectively communicated before the implementation process. An important aspect to consider in this case would be focus on the type of leadership in place and how it influences employees to be in a position to embrace change. A change process is aimed at ensuring that the business improves on its performance level through integration of positive strategies that focus on delivery of high quality products in the market. Incorporating change within organizational environment is not an action but a process that puts into consideration important factors in ensuring that the desired change does not have a negative influence within organizational environment. It is important to understand that an organization only integrates a given change action within its operational strategy when it has full assessment on all the benefits and risks involved in the implementation of that particular change.
Identification of your chosen leadership philosophy with justification of your choice.
Being the Chief Executive officer, the success or failure of the change process will depend on the strategies that will put in place. There is need to develop better strategies while having interacts with employees where positive change can be effectively developed. Therefore, in this case, the leadership philosophy that I will incorporate to ensure high level of compliance and engagement will follow Marty Linksys leadership philosophy.Linsky’s leadership philosophy focuses on developing relationships. It is very difficult to create an integration where the change planned can be successful without creating a relationship with employees. The role of employee in business development is significant and thus there is need to ensure that it is developed on strong basis where it can be effectively lead to positive development within organizational context(Dent, 2016).
The management and employees form crucial part of the change process within organizational environment. The management is involved in putting in place critical measures, which are more important in developing a better understanding on the change proposed. They make key decisions on how the change process needs to be undertaken. Employees within an organization also play a key role in having a positive engagement where they ensure that the change put in place is successful. Ensuring that the change process is successful, there is need to develop active relationship within organizational context where the input of every employee can be acknowledged. Every employee wishes to work in an organizational environment where their performance is noticed(Spillane & Jean-Etienne, 2015).
Adaptive leadership requires that leaders participate in change process in order to have a better connection with organizational success. The key elements that are needed within a given organizational environment to ensure that the change process is successful need to be clearly identified and ensure that high level of engagement within organizational context. Leadership style forms an integral environment under which different considerations within an organization are based. The style that is adopted within an organization creates a very critical environment in a business setting and thus explains who employees within that particular setting are engaged. It is important to understand that different leaders adopt different leadership strategies depending on what they hope to achieve as well as their personality. This is a critical determining factor under which employees are expected to adhere to ensure a smooth running of an organization(Day, Fleenor, Atwater, Sturm, & McKee, 2014).
This strategy will be able to ensure that there is a positive understanding and there exists a string understanding under which it will be possible to have a higher level of interaction within organizational environment. The leadership style that will create a better integration of the Linsky leadership philosophy will be transformational leadership style. Transformational leadership model is a leadership approach that focuses on developing change within an organization while focusing on already existing mechanisms. The model is aimed at developing positive change among employees since it is done in a more engaging way where employees feel part of an organization. The model ensures that employees are connected to the set mission and collective identity of the organization. A leader in transformational leadership model inspires hope and acts as a role model to his or her followers. They create a very engaged performance based work environment where employees or followers are challenged to work extremely harder in order achieve their target. The leader identifies and addresses all the weakness faced by employees while acknowledging the significant steps made. Thus, strategy would be very effective in my business venture since a business should be able to accept change where necessary as long as the change is positive(Spillane & Jean-Etienne, 2015).

Financial risk assessment
Financial risks within the organization development will provide a better focus under which the company will be highly engaged in ensuring that there is success within company focus. Risks therefore will help the company put in place risk averse measures to ensure that it is highly engaged within the industry.

The risks that are considered in this case include market risk, which include financial risks, which occur due to the changes in prices of the financial instruments, which include stick price and interest rates. Credit risks arises when an individual fails to achieve their obligations.
