2Part 1IntroductionLeadership has been defined as the process of influencing people that enables them to take up their responsibilities and face the challenges that comes in their way (Agarwal, 2012).It is a practical skill to set the strategies and adopt the appropriate method to attain the corporate goals. Bush (2016) in his work has defined leadership as the ability of an individualto guide others towards the right track. Leadership promotes culture for the team. In a numberof researches it has been found that appropriate leadership skill is necessary to create organizational culture as well as to improve the efficiency and productivity of the team (Bystydzienski & Thomas, 2017). According to the point of view of the scholar Bush (2016), leadership not only enhance the organization’s performance but also enables the team to take opportunities to meet the objectives of the organization. Agarwal (2012) emphasized in his work that as there are a number of challenges faced by an organization in terms of gaining competitive edge in the industry, both in the national and international market, a leader must act in that way which would enhance organizational credibility. Leadership ChallengesLeadership becomes a challenging task when the managers do not understand their employees. Egri and Herman (2010), in their work have emphasized that employees could not be forced to work by compelling them. In addition to this, managers must encourage the employees to take up their responsibilities and overcome the hurdles. As a leader, they must inspire the subordinates in any situation (Genovese, 2009). Sometimes it becomes difficult to
3inspire others to ensure they are satisfied with their work and act smartly in any challenging situation. Another challenge faced by leaders developing the employees by open communication (Herbst & Maree, 2018). It is an evident fact that establishing communicationwith the team members is an essential task for the leaders. Moreover, not all employees are the same and may not have similar perspectives. It is essential for the leaders to communicatewith the individuals according to their perception level. This becomes challenging sometimes, when dealing with a novice. Thus, the leader is required to communicate with the team effectively so as to understand their point of view with regard to any matter that they come across. The common policies must be discussed with the other members so that the information would reach the desired form.According to the point of view of the scholars Lingam et al (2014), leading a teamis one of the major challenges of team-building, team development, as well as team management. Kohanov (2015) emphasized that definite challenges consist of how to instill pride, provide support, lead a big team, and things to be while taking over an entirely new group or team In addition to this, it has been found from the research of Kotter (2008), guiding changeto the team is also a challenge for the leaders which involves mobilizing, managing, supervising, accepting, understanding, as well as leading the change (Gill, 2002). It is an evident fact that guiding change take account of the matters with regard to mitigating the consequences, overcoming the resistance to change, together with dealing with the reactions and resistance of employees’ to support change. Change management as well as leadership management have been considered as the two most interrelated challenges faced by most of the companies at present (Gill, 2002). Change management is defined as theconsistent process to shift from one work environment
