The commonwealth managers are those who inspire followers to transcend their own self-interests, and who are capable of having a profound and extraordinary effect on their followers. This paper describes the corporate-wide approach to effective commonwealth leadership at organizations. effective commonwealth leadership, referring to the internal systematic approach of the organization’s leadership and leadership to strive for commonwealth performance excellence, and effective commonwealth policy referring to all those measures through which one creates and strengthens confidence and trust in outsiders, especially customers, towards the organization’s abilities and products. Naturally, effective commonwealth policy is a part of effective commonwealth leadership. The paper reviews the commonwealth strategy implementation, strategic control, commonwealth metrics, commonwealth channels and performance measurement literature to develop a conceptual model and research propositions. The effective commonwealth leadership is a culture-specific leadership style that is prevalent in professional organizations.
