economic and political in the huge world that can influence the organization in an adverse
manner. To some level, the gauge of any leader is how effectively he can manage the continuous

Literature review
According to Kouzes and Posner (2018), leadership has to face an ample of challenges at the
time of handling the task in the organization that depicts the life of the leaders are not easy as it
pretends. Inside the organization, they have to go through with a number of the situation and
motivate a group of people, develop efficiency and attain growth. Outwardly, they go through
with the globalized and complex environment and they have to handle the needs of government,
and meet the expectations of other stakeholders. The world has a massive global environment,
there is a number of cultural consideration leaders should face being efficient. They should keep
focus on work across cultural boundaries and at the side of others who are quite hard from them
and have diverse ways of getting work accomplished (Ramly and Dennis, 2018). This article has
contained some questions that answers are mentioned below by taking consideration of the
different point of view of different authors.
This article is been talking about the leadership challenge program curriculum, which
concentrates on incorporating individual talent to generate a collaborative workforce by teaching
practical approaches for leading others. The leadership challenge approaches leadership as a
learnable, teachable, and measurable set of behaviour, which can result in attaining exceptional
things in the organization. The main objective is to enhance their self-awareness to attain a better
understanding on leading the team in an effective manner and overcoming challenges faced with
leading diverse individual in the organization (Glatthorn, Jailalland Jailall, 2016).It has been
found from the research that the leadership challenge can support to become an effective leader
irrespective of age, position, current capability, or tenure. It majorly concentrates upon
competencies for the successful leadership program, which gained the understanding of

Global Business 5
developing the needs, interests, and expectations in the context of leading and motivating the
team.
In respect to answer the question of leadership challenge program curriculum overall objective,
which states that the leadership challenge, which strengthens and reinforce an awareness of
leadership style, behaviour, strength, weakness, and behaviour. It provides a deeper
understanding of leading individual and teams, which can influence organizational performance.
It develops effective collaboration and strengthens peer relationship in order to achieve
organizational success with an executable and shared vision. Their main objective is to develop
an understanding of the dynamics of conflict in leading as well as motivating so that goal can be
achieved. They appreciate the concept of lifelong learning by generating a list of practical
strategies needed to reach in leading a team effectively. They need to develop the capability to
share the vision and enlist others in a common determination (Young, 2015).
In order to answer the second question, it can be said that the leadership challenge curriculum is
markedly scalable to any kind of the organization, no matter what the size is- small, large,
medium, government or private. The leadership challenge curriculum program can be
implemented at any level because it does not have any kind of terms and condition. It has been
found that this program has the nature of modular that affect the program affirmatively. This
program enables leadership to understand the different situation within the organization and
enforce them to do try something different in a whole program that has been moving for a while
(Jaffe, Pradarelli, Lemak, Mulholland and Dimick, 2016). This program facilitates them to
understand different condition of the organization and how to react as per the situation. This kind
of activities prevents the organization from potential risks. This program has effective strategy to
learn leaders about how to deal with typical situation within the organization. It entails the

Global Business 6
process for 2-3 days workshop for senior line managers; and it can transform I-day program for
Emerging leaders for individual contributors. This program is useful for the organization to attain
the objectives of the company.
In order to answer the question of what is the lesson from facilitating this program, it shall be
noted that the leadership challenge program curriculum is helpful in attaining the target of the
company and reducing the impact of challenges on the performance of the company. it has been
found from the article that the flexibility of the leadership challenges along with consultative
approach has been the huge ongoing lesson educated in obliging the requirements of individuals
and organizations alike. However, every organization has its own challenges to adapt to the
amending climate and concern of leadership as it is major grounding in evidence as well as
research. This leadership program has enough good approach in providing learning of how to
behave within the business in order to motivate employees so that they can perform in the well-
efficient manner (Ellis, 2015).
With respect to getting information regarding the measurement of the investment and success,
the leadership challenge author demonstrates that when leaders knowingly practice the
leadership behaviours evaluated by the practices inventory of leadership, it would provide good
results in the term of effective team performance and constituent loyalty. It has been found that
the statistical feedback has great difficulty in the terms of sharing, a number of clients need
confidentiality about proper outcomes. In the context of chosen article, it has been found that the
Sonoma Leadership System get positive feedback through this system that this program has a
significantly good impact over the performance of the leaders. In order to highlight the response
of last question of how this program will continue further in bringing improvement in the
leadership session, it can be said that the program will be continuing in evaluating the

Global Business 7
performance of the leaders. It would be helpful in mitigating the challenges within the
organization.

their own ways to give voice to their values. On contradictory, Miller, Goddard, Kim, Jacob,
Goddard and Schroeder, (2016), stated that there are five major exemplary leadership factors
such as model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, help others to act and
encourage the heart. It can be said that the leadership challenge model has the ability to manage
all challenges within the organization in order to reduce the risks. It helps leaders to become an
example for their followers so that they can move ahead with same track followed by the leader.
It would facilitate organization as well to attain the desired objectives in limited time frame

the organization keep significant value. This leadership challenge model is helpful in mitigating
the risks in an effective manner. The article of leadership challenges has been chosen for this
