Introduction to leadership
Leadership is one of the most important elements of an organization. Nevertheless, leadership is
leading a group of followers or people and it may be political leader, social leader, corporate
leader or any situation where an individual is leading a group of people is said to be leadership.
The report will include the discussion over the leadership in the organization. In an organization,
leading an organization is very challenging. Moreover, with an increase in multinational
corporations and international business opportunity, the leadership has become more challenging
and crucial in a company. The reason being a different culture is to be manager outside and
within the organization. The report’s purpose is to assess the key challenges that the leadership is
comprised of considering the macro and micro environment of the organization (Antonakis et al.,
2009).
The key role of the leader in an organization includes providing vision and direction to the staff
and the objectives that are to be accomplished in an organization. Moreover, the guidance,
authority, management, control, supervision, cross cultural management, motivation, team
management and various other activities are the key aspects that a leader considers to perform
the leadership effectively. Moreover, employee engagement, managing stakeholders as
shareholder, customer, government, an employee of the company are to be considered by a
leader. Moreover, the leadership theories and types of leadership are the key aspect of leadership
that will influence the effectiveness of the leadership and the suitability of the leadership style in
a particular situation (Birasnav, 2014).
