INTRODUCTION
In the current scenario leadership takes place an essential role within an organisation in
terms to motivate the employees to carry out expertise performance in their respective field.
This helps to enhance the potential of employees by encouraging diverse workforce to attain the
favourable growth as well as development which probably leads to organisational success. The
impact of the globalisation and dynamic environment involve the factors like high competitive
rate, changes in government regulation, variations due to diverse culture acts as a challenge or
constraint with leadership style (Avolio and Walumbwa, 2014). So to cope up these challenges
the leader of an organisation need to focus on the training programme that help to build the
competitive teams. These teams are self reliant in terms to bear the dynamic environment and
remain positive by adopting the significant amount of changes. Thus, most of the successful
organisations and responsible leader consider their employees as an asset and focuses to enhance
their skill or knowledge in order to remain competitive to adopt the new working pattern or
regime.

Assess changing perspectives of leadership in different economic, social and political contexts
Leadership theory emphasizes the attention on the existing behaviour as well as trait of
the employees required to boost up their efficiencies. It possibly generate the feeling of extrinsic
motivation which is required for the success of team for diverse arena such as economic, social
as well as political conditions.
Changing perspectives of leadership in political contexts
Political leadership focuses on the formal power which is exercised or inculcated in order
to deliver suitable values to public. The purpose of such leadership is to carry out better
administration and shape the actions of organisation in terms to abide by the rules and regulation
significantly. There exist various constraints in order to deliver the worthy values to the local
residence. So for the development of political leadership the external environment is analysed
and examined by paying attention to the skills as well as expertise. Hence, it helps to maintain
the connection with multiple stakeholders and adoption of participative leadership style leads to
sustainable development (Global Definitions of Leadership and Theories of Leadership
Development: Literature Review, 2017).
