1. Introduction
a) Lead Sentence
In relation to EWS Ltd., it is evident that there are particular operations that cannot be
executed singly. Workers and other stakeholders are supposed to cooperate, have issues
discussed in groups, then work with one another to realize a common outcome or goal. Those
that form a team are required to think alike with objectives that are more similar. EWS Limited
will therefore, require skilled personnel in various project sections (D’auteur, 2012).
b) Purpose
In this paper, therefore, the plan will entail developed, management, staffing, and
assessment teams to manage the project and address the goals and aims of every team within the
project (Bruce, 2016).
c) Road map
One, since EWS requires to expand into new markets, its restructuring process will
require a new technological and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems to help in such
mega expansions. Second, EWS is in need of investigating new supply chains systems alongside
procedures in the form of negotiating, tendering, and implementing contracts (Hager, 2014).
Finally, yet importantly, EWS requires determining the legal perspectives of expanding to new
geographical locations. The organization, therefore, needs a legal team that would research on
local, legal laws and ensures that the organization complies with them.

2. Leadership Styles
The outlined project by EWS will adopt the following leadership styles:
a) Project Manager: The overall project manager will be in charge of the entire project
as stipulated in EWS’s plan. As identified, the best style that such a leader ought to
possess is “Transformational Leadership”. As mentioned by Cox , Daoud and Rudd,∗
(2013), transformational leadership is defined as a leadership approach that causes
change in individuals and social systems. In its ideal form, it creates valuable and
positive change in the followers with the end goal of developing followers into
leaders. Such leaders are visionary, passionate, and charismatic (pg. 44).
b) Structural Organization Manager: This leader is required to be democratic. A
manager with democratic skills of leadership needs to ensure that team members have
whatever they need or require ensuring project success. Otherwise, these kinds of
leaders make decisions through consensus. Since the structural organization is
important in defining the role of different departments in an organization, every
member of the team is required to contribute towards the process by upholding their
opinions. Apart from that, democratic leaders also highly motivate team members and
support their decisions whenever they make good contributions (Aguirre & Rugter,
2013).
c) Supply Chain Manager: Supply chain management department is critical in every
organization. The segment determines sales and purchases and thus, requires an
authoritative leader. The most appropriate style of leadership herein is “dictatorial”.
These leaders make decisions by themselves and impose the same on their subjects.
