Organizational Resilience and Supply Chain Agility through Transformational Leadership Mechanisms within the Indian Poultry Medicine Industry

Abstract

The existing environment in the Indian poultry medicine industry can be described as a high-stakes situation, supported by the presence of a regular threat of biological risks and frequent supply-chain disruptions. The study focuses on the purpose of transformational leadership (TL) as a triggering factor to organizational resilience and supply-chain agility (SCA) in this area of expertise. By methodically examining interplay between leadership behaviors and systemic responsiveness, the research also outlines that the elements of TL, i.e. idealized influence and intellectual stimulation, play a significant role in the development of culture that allows a rapid adaptation. The empirical evidence means that TL is not just an internal performance enhancer, but is in fact the process of reconfiguring the supply-chain capabilities such that they can survive the bio containment shocks. The article contributes a new theoretical framework which connects behavioral constructs of leadership and operational agility and thus provides the agri-business stakeholders with a strategic guide to maintain the market stability amid volatility. In highlighting the poultry health-sector setting, the investigation underscores the fact that the concept of leadership forms the soft warehouse that supports the hard supply chain resilience.
