Abstract: Organization identity is shaped by multiple factors. This shaping leads to transformation of the organization. An organization transforms its own identity with the help of free energy. It can also mobilize captive or frozen intrinsic energy into free energy. Each of these energies is driven by either internal or external factors and has its own effect that decides how the organization transforms itself. Indian organizations can also transform themselves in an effective manner through organizational leadership. The strength of the leadership and its understanding of the internal and external driving forces will determine how the organization transforms itself. For an organization to transform, the leader must first identify the free, captive and frozen energy within himself, collectivity and the organization and do what is necessary to make these available to the organization for transformation. The paper deals with how the organization can enhance and channelise its free energy, alertness and aliveness to fulfill the vision, goals and objectives of the organization.
