Leadership plays very important role in current era as most of the business whether big or
small requires that right kind of leaders are been made within the workplace so that work could
be carried out smoothly and also best results are achieved in the end. Also, in context of Tesco it
can be said since the company is operating in different regions' existence of having best and
efficient leaders is very much essential so that all the challenging tasks within the workplace
could be accepted through positive approach (Smith and Fredricks-Lowman, 2020). Moreover,

organization so that best outcomes are derived in the end. Also, there are various kinds of
leadership styles such as participative, autocratic, democratic and much more that are been

applied in the workplace so that work could be carried out smoothly and efficiently by all
employees working at different levels.
Moreover, there are various kinds of leadership approaches that will help in better
understanding and are been described as follows:
Traditional leadership approach
It is type of approach where the leaders encourage the employees to do their job in correct
manner through providing the proper guidance, direction and required level of motivation. Also,
through such kind of support employees are ready to face the difficulties in much better way as
they remain determined that their supervisors would help them in finding the best solution to any
kind of given problem. Furthermore, the main motive of using this type of approach is that the
company would be able to improve the business position in the market (Mroz, Yoerger and
Allen, 2018.). Also, this type of leadership approach is acquired from the previous predecessor
that has already established good work among the others. Moreover, this approach believes that
leaders are born with certain capabilities that they used to carry out certain task at the
workplace. Furthermore, these leaders are more respected by the followers at the workplace and
also they tend to follow each task that is been assigned to them.
Regenerative leadership
It is the new concept that is been emerging within the country in which leaders think about
making the system completely new through re imagining certain things. Also, in such kind of
leaderships leaders are very much concern in bringing change within the workplace through new
and creative ideas. Furthermore, this leadership approach work on certain principles that needs
to be followed by each of employee at the workplace and one of the principles is being
generous so that more benefits could be derived in the end (Arasli, Arici and Çakmakoğlu Arici,
2019). Also, these type so leaders help in developing the culture which is completely full of lief
and help other to incorporate certain elements hat would help them to grow in best manner in
the future. Furthermore, one major benefits of having such type of leadership approach in Tesco
is that it would provide the best platform for the employees so that they are bale to learn new
things at the workplace from each other in best of manner.
Contemporary leadership
It is one where the leaders use the personal influence to develop and inspire the people within
the firm so that certain short and long term objectives could be accomplished on time and in

best possible manner. Furthermore, through practising such kind of leadership the employees
are able to make the overall difference within the community that they are currently living. Also,
having such type of leaders within Tesco would simply mean that organization work through
following the people centric approach and believes in bringing innovation and creativity at the
workplace. Also, such leaders communicate openly and are more culturally sensitive towards
various things that are happening around them. Furthermore, the leaders that tends to follow
such type of leadership approach needs to have the capacity to bounce back intellectually,
physically and emotionally in various different situations (Fontes and et.al., 2019). Also, such
leaders have the ability of great understanding that allows them to hear the opinions of others in
positive manner and also helps them through providing the best solutions in different situations.
Thus, in the end it can be said that leadership is way through which firm like Tesco
would be able to achieve various objectives in well-defined manner. Also, good leaders are
ones that works on the collaborative approaches rather than the individualistic approach.
Moreover, even while adopting any kind of approaches leaders needs to have best of ability to
resolve any kind of conflicts ate the workplace so that work is not affected in negative manner.
Also, leaders while adopting any approach at Tesco make sure that it is not negatively influenced
by opinions of certain groups members rather than thinks deeply so that best results might be
derived in the end (Alameeri and et.al., 2020). Also, the real change within the workplace is
only brought when the leaders are well motivated and directed towards accomplishing certain
objectives in the given specified time without compromising the needs of other employees that
are working very hard for organization at various levels. Moreover, the development of proper
reward and the incentives would also help leaders to carry out their work in smooth and
