is unable to match the company culture then it cannot perform well in the Tesco Company. For
this, management is responsible because when they recruit the employee they need to consider
this factor. Firm leadership style is highly related with a its culture, so company need to change
its management and leadership style according to the culture. Further there are different
leadership style which Tesco can adopt according to its culture,objectives and value on
