Six ways to be an effective leader: Adapting to modern challenges and competition

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

What makes a good leader? The text books are full of examples such as Jack Welch or Steve Jobs as major figures in business who have led major corporations effectively with certain styles. Their high profile and media images have meant that their characters have endlessly been dissected, whether it be by themselves as in Welch’s example or by others as it has been with Jobs. However, the more these characters are analyzed, the clearer it seems that rather than being able to identify any meaningful traits, all one is able to do is remark on how unusual they were as leaders.

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
