2LEADERSHIP: A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE
Introduction:
The term leadership can entail so many things: a political leader passionately pursuing a public
or personal cause; a coporate executive, taking his organization above the competition standards;
an explorer, leading a group to new horizons and terrain. Leaders are people who help
themselves and others achieve a set goal. They inspire a vision for followers, setting a direction
to create something new. A leader has to face and solve numerous problems every single day,
which may be related to external factors, the organization as a whloe, one department, or even a
particular employee or customer or client. The ability to effectively deal with these challenges
and bring out the organization on top of it is what determines a good leader. In this report we will
address 3 such problems faced by leaders around the world: Challenges of transformation due to
digital change, challenges of entrepreneurial leadership and challenges of superior-subordinate
rlationhip.
Description:
Challenge 1:
The contemporary world is in a state of constant relentless change due to digital
interconnectedness through mobile devices and virtual networks. Under such circumstances a
leader must know how to sort these changes and ensure stability among his workers. Flexibility
is one of the biggest requisites in this era of digital change. Many leaders even adopt agile
change management practices to stay on top of latest digital advancements and utilize them in
the best possible way. Flexibility goes hand-in-hand with speed. In a world where new
technologies develop overnight, leaders, with their organisations need to be able to grasp, use,
and exploit those innovations in the shortest possible time (Monahan, Chmiola & Roos, 2017).
