Conflicts might arise more when the leaders’ organisational vision and philosophies don’t match and seldom when their working philosophies are different. For instance, if leader A focuses primarily on a very inclusive team and leader B focuses on authority, chances are there are not strongly defined structures that lead to the organisation’s culture. The reason that such wide differences exist in leadership especially at the same leadership level fundamentally mean that the leadership selection process has missed out on a huge cultural aspect that reflects the mission and vision of the organisation. However, there can be two different leaders in the same organisation who focus majorly on inclusion but one of them micromanages and the other strongly emphasises on autonomy and gives all their followers their own space to work. In such cases there could be tensions within the team with respect to a few members from one team liking the other team and vice versa. For instance, someone in the team of the micromanaging leader could feel like they don’t have their own space to breathe and at the same time someone in the team of the autonomous leader could feel like they lack the kind of support the other team receives.
