LEADERSHIP FOR THE CONTEMPORARY ORGANISATION
A. Selection and explanation of leadership style
Considering the kind of projects team that has been selected for the multiple projects of J and J
furnishings comma it can be highlighted that the transformational style of leadership is best
suited for handling the pressure and delivering the required outcome from the projects
undertaken by the organisation. The transformational leadership style has been selected for the
project undertaken by the organisation because this style leadership can help in development of a
thriving work culture by means of effective communication within the team (Larson & Gray,
2017). Besides, any leader needs a certain level of strategic vision as well as intellectual
stimulation for managing the various challenges like multiple cultural backgrounds, multiple
experience level, difference in time zones and other challenges. Under the situation, it is required
that the transformation will undertake decisions based on the demand of the situation and
keeping in mind that high goals needs to overcome under strict deadlines. Nevertheless, as per
Nishimura and Okamuro (2018), the best part of transformational leadership is that the leaders
face the challenging situation in Unison with the team which keeps the team motivated and
working towards achievement of the goal with exceptional results.
B. Tools and techniques used for influencing the project team

the leader needs to be aware that no member of the project team gets an assignment on
their respective religious or national holidays and he or she have to be Savvy about
cultural differences and always be careful that in the scope of frequent communication
among various employees, no cultural differences come into context.
 In order to make information communication is there, the Project leader is under
transformational leadership generally preferred to share a common software platform
with all team members so that everybody can provide input feedback based on and
unique timeframe and tracking progress. Nevertheless the fact that every individual team
member will receive the messages at individual time cannot be avoided (Sauer, 2018).
For that purpose, the leader should have the policy of working in rotational shift
implemented in all the geographical areas, so that the individual team members not feel
that they have to work and order hours while other members have the privilege of
working under comfortable working hours. In this context, the project team will need
constant support from the IT team because of which the leader have to ensure that the
project members in the IT team of the project should belong to a definite Geographic and
time zone.
 Nevertheless, the project should realise that in order to achieve the sustainability goals,
members of various work like the human resource, technology development,
manufacturing as well as marketing Team should be aware about the sustainability goals
of the organisation. That is why, the transformation and Urban Development Strategies
for execution of working goals. He or she will do that based on measuring reports
published by individual working things from individual Geographic areas. Based on those
outcomes, the unique strategies will be formulated by the project manager.
