important in the overall success and growth of an
organization.

is that it speeds up the decision-making process within
Primark (Wirtz et al. 2016).

approach creates a high degree of dissatisfaction among
the employees in the long run and this is the major
drawback associated with this approach of leadership.

the best and possible manner.

successful change in the setting (Doppelt, 2017).

leadership approaches and models of change
management

leadership approach is also less effective in the contemporary environment as
it results in creating a high degree of dissatisfaction among the workers as it
overcomes considering their viewpoint and suggestion in the decision-
making process.
