visionary leadership style as a visionary dreams about the future and focuses on translating such
dreams into specific achievable goals, helps in articulating them with great inspirations, focuses
on soliciting the commitments and adopt actions in to back up their words. As opined by Behzad

team of the company as it anticipates changes and focuses on opportunities rather than problems
and as EWS is planning to implement various changes in the organizations for expanding in to
new markets, therefore it is very important for the leader of the project teams of the organization

developing team spirits and team learning initiatives which is very important in context of EWS
as the company is planning to expand in to various new markets for which they require multiple
teams in order to ensure smooth operations of the company and hence it is very important for the
leaders of the various teams of the organization to develop a team spirit among the members of
