What most leadership models ignore Seminar
- Date:
- 28 June 2018
- Venue:
- Southampton Business School, Building 2
Event details
Increased globalisation with the insatiable demands of customers has necessitated the need for leaders who can lead their organisations to respond to the dynamic changes of the globalised market. Several leadership models have been put forward in a bid to respond to this crucial demand. However most of these models and presenters have either ignored or taken for granted certain organisational factors that either act as moderators or most importantly as mediators. In this presentation, empirical findings of a research project involving leadership and certain organisational factors will be used to demonstrate the crucial role of these factors in relation to effective leadership’s impact on employee or staff performance. Recognition of these unsung heroes will improve leadership effectiveness through deliberate orchestrations of these organisational factors.
