3 年Hi Jacob, I concur with the advice of Jeff Schwartz that future leaders must adapt to how work is changing, how workforces are changing and how workplaces are changing. These are what makes the work system or business system. However, leaders / managers must also be seen as role model by their employees, customers, stakeholders e.t.c He must influence or inspire others to achieve a common goal. One of the distinguishing features of a leader is that he does not look for recognition from others rather he looks for others to recognize him. Whereas a boss tells people what they can do to achieve a goal. Leadership can be defined as “a process whereby an individual influence a group of individuals in a new way to achieve a common goal” (Northouse (2007, p3).?By this definition a good leader must be abreast of vaying changes in the ecosystem and stay on top of those changes in order lead well. Therefore, A top notch approach is needed to transform negative situations to a positive one. More so, the leaders objectives must be aligned with the objectives of the organisation if he / she must succeed.
