WOOLWORTHS 1
Introduction
In South Africa, there is a large retail business Woolworths selling a wide range of products;
founded in 1931. An investment company named Woolworths Holdings Ltd operated through
Woolworths (Pty) Ltd. in South Africa and Country Road in Australia. Later all unissued

Woolworths leadership role is a vast concept to deal with an organizational structure, so here
are the brief aspects of how to evaluate performance.
Research Methodology
As the nature of the assignment is such that no primary data has been required. Hence, only
secondary data was used for this research.
Leadership Role
The role of leadership is flexible which explains that the financial performance of an
organization can be influenced by the top executives and other leaders. The main three
determinants of financial performance are productivity, alteration, and human resource
( Yukl, 2008).
Woolworths management thought of why are leaders apart from managers and found the idea
of assuming their organization change in their work. Leaders do what is right! Some leaders
really need to play an emotional and rational role at the time of instability when they enhance
morale and output. At the time of crisis, four critical leadership behaviours are decided.
Leaders support their workforce really well at the time of instability to increase their
confidence and performance (Sandler, 2009). Leaders give instructions, they are
supportive, and they cooperate and fulfil targeted goals and profits. Leaders manage their
own emotions and show these four behaviours with the support of HR.
Evaluation
Woolworths maintains its leadership positions instead of searching got economic and market
surroundings. To address the important regular and organizational changes right strategies are
placed in retail and try to deliver a future long term profit and growth (fin24, 2019).
