The ability to influence and motivate others toward achieving organizational goals is called what?

• A. Leadership
• B. Management
• C. Organization
• D. Platoon

Answer: (A)

The ability to influence and motivate others toward achieving organizational goals is leadership. It focuses on guiding people, shaping a vision, and inspiring effort to move a group toward shared objectives. Management, by contrast, deals more with planning, organizing, and controlling processes and resources. Organization refers to the structural system that coordinates tasks and people, while platoon is a military unit and not the concept here. So the best fit is leadership.
