Leaders must address organizational tension because it reflects the underlying dynamics of goal setting, job responsibilities, and the continuous adaptation to new opportunities and challenges. Tension, defined as the act of stretching or straining, is an inherent aspect of organizational life and indicates both positive efforts to achieve goals and negative stresses to mitigate problems. Furthermore, tension is not merely a state to eliminate; it is a fundamental reality that underscores the very existence of organizations. When tension diminishes, it can signify stagnation or decline, affirming that tension is essential for growth and vitality in both personal and organizational contexts.
