Interview questions
Question 1: What are your views about leading a workforce in the current global
marketplace?
Raman Grover: In my views, the workforce in the current global marketplace keeps changing
due to rich diversity and different cultural nuances. In the present global marketplace, leaders are
facing a complicated workforce and they face the emerging leadership challenges that include
age, race, and educational background differences (Antonakis & Day, 2017). I believe that
challenges make the leader find and learn new skills so that they can lead the workforce. These
skills can be a strong human relation, diversity skills, communication, and knowledge that are
necessary. As per my views, the reason behind this is to motivate and inspire the workforce
through their leading capability, as this will create success for the team and organisation. In my
opinion, large companies accept the fact that leading within the complex environment remains
challenging but with this, it leads to reward with plenty of opportunities to capitalize on the
different work styles as well as ideas that lead to the innovation within the company. The
organisation might be equipped with different needs, perspectives, and expectations among the
cultures and generations. I believe companies should employ the Five Practices model that
assists in forming the environment that allows engaging personnel, enhancing their talent, and
improve productivity. The components of the model consist: -
 Treat others with respect.
 Easy way to express the idea
 Commitment towards growth
 Provide recognize and Credit
