CHALLENGES OF LEADERSHIP ROLES1
Discuss the challenges of leadership and management roles in global
environments. What role can enterprise leaders play to overcome these
challenges?
This essay will explore the challenges of leadership and management roles in the global
environment and what roles the enterprise leaders can play in order to overcome these
challenges. Enterprise leaders have a major responsibility in managing an organization and its
employees. Enterprise leaders face many difficult challenges whilst attempting to successfully
operate in the global environment (Cseh, Davis & Khilji 2013). Managers and leaders are both
very alike but what differentiates them is that people will voluntarily follow a leader but a
manager has people who work for them. Both leaders and managers face a number of challenges
and are accountable in overcoming these challenges in global environments.
A challenge that leaders and managers may face could be personal problems that may
occur between them and the employees (Maranga & Sampayo 2015). When in a working
environment, people from different cultural backgrounds and different mind-sets are working
together with the same goal, this could lead to each individual having different views, emotions
and opinions. Enterprise leaders and managers must overcome these challenges by understanding
individuals are different.
Another challenge that can arise is external challenges. External challenges form when
rapid change occurs, when there is a rise in the population and advancements in technology.
Leaders and managers all around the globe face and resolve a wide range of this challenge on a
daily basis.
