Leadership Challenges is an Era of Turbulence

Abstract

A leader is a person who not only guides or inspires others within an organization or community, but also inspires himself to achieve a goal. Leadership development begins with the simple realization that you want to be a leader. Leadership is widely considered to be an important aspect of organizing. It impacts managers’ organizational commitment, their job satisfaction, their communication and their managerial effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between leadership and the primary organizational features such as dedication, satisfaction, communication and effectiveness. Also, to study how lack of leadership can lead to big obstacle in the personal growth and development of a person. People want to be led; they want leaders with human values and respect for people’s talents and the contributions they can make. Employees want leaders who will create an environment that revolves around excellence, risk taking and creativity. A successful leader needs all of the same competencies as a manager, but some of the competencies must be more developed, for instance, vision. One can be a successful manager with a minimal capability for vision. However, one cannot lead without vision. Lack of vision in any aspect of life can lead to confusions and mismanagement of various issues both in personal life and professional life. Therefore, for holistic growth of any person, the “leadership” essence is having a great significance.
