Thank you for reading the blog Zainab ! Appreciate it.
The leadership style, which I would discuss further on is the Transformational Leadership. Transformational Leadership, is the leadership which has always been embedded in my DNA and I truly admire the idea of having a great vision and working towards greater success. As each, leadership style’s has it’s very own downside thus I feel the limitation of this leadership style would be “it tends to look into the greater picture”. Having said that, this could be too conceptual and might be missing with the task focus that some employees need to guide them as they go about with their duties. Moreover, by setting the target’s of the organisation very high this would also lead towards a burnout of the employee’s trying to achieve the target’s that has been set. As the leaders, are always keen on achieving the grand vision in the organisation therefore it would lead certain employees to lose motivation and burnout.
Perhaps, if an organisation wants to go a mile further and strive for better growth therefore, Transformational Leadership is regarded as the key soul which should be embedded in the leader’s philosophy.
I hope, I have answered your question Zainab. Thank you and a pleasant day to you.

Great blog!
A Chief Marketing Officer’s job is very challenging, yet they don’t seem to stick with the same organisation for too long. An article published in Harvard Business Review [https://hbr.org/2017/07/the-trouble-with-cmos], pointed out that CMOs have the highest turnover in the C-suite profiles.
How do you think your leadership style would prove effective in a new opportunity that involves a different organisational culture?

Alright, the Chief Marketing Officer job is usually highly sought after by each and every individual whom have the passion and soul for marketing. Having said that, according to Harvard Business Review article there is a high turnover of CMO’s which indicates there could be some issue’s surrounding this very job. As of my leadership style, I would solely focus on democratic leadership as this leadership would be able to propel the organisation to greater heights. So, a million dollar question on how particularly my leadership style would be able to suit different organisational culture ? I should be able to adapt to the different array’s of employee from different culture as this could help understand them better and therefore would be able to enhance the productivity of each and every individuals. Having said that, by practicing Democratic Leadership it open’s up the platform for each and every employees to share their thoughts and the employees would feel more connected to the business. Through this, the employee’s would be able to give their 110% of commitment to the business organisation. So, I feel by instilling myself with the essence of democratic leadership I would be able to command the organisation to their pinnacle of success.

Thank you for reading the blog Wang Shu ! I hope you enjoyed reading the blog.
From my point of view , as I have had experience leading team’s in my Undergraduate studies it has taught me the needed recipe’s which is vital to propel a team to commanding heights. As, I have always been a leader especially during presentation’s and group assignments it has thought me the importance of striving the team members and getting the best out of each and every one of them. Personally, being a leader builds the confidence and the charisma to push my self forward and I would certainly encourage everyone to be a leader in their respective business field. As the saying goes “Leader’s are made, they are not born” therefore each and every individual have the very capacity to sharpen their skills which would eventually lead them to success. By having charismatic and transformational leader’s, this would be an instrumental aspect towards the success of the business and also the growth of the country’s economy.
I hope, I have answered your question Wang Shu. Pleasant day to you !

Thank you for the question Ziv ! Hope you enjoyed reading the blog.
Taking into account the Democratic Leadership. Democratic Leadership, is the leadership style that I have always embedded myself with as it would connect people to their very own work. Looking into the limitations aspects, the Democratic Leader’s might often have to deal with rejection’s as a leader might have a certain plan to implement, but the team might overrule the idea which has been proposed. Moreover, this leadership style would not be able to work well especially during a crisis situation. This is because, if a organisation is facing emergency it would take time to get a feedback from the employees in which
it increases the delay of resource implementation.
I hope I have answered your question Ziv. Pleasant day to you.

As of the Democratic Leadership, which is the leadership style that I always equip myself with it has the potential to be applied to the global organisation. This is because, it would promote a free flow of idea’s which would be the key recipe to succeed in the global market. By having a rich idea in place, it would be the needed force which would be able to guide the organisation to their pinnacle of success. In addition to that, Democratic Leaders receive a diverse set of ideas from their subordinates which would infact be the key towards the organisation’s success in the global arena. By asking people their thoughts and opinions, this would mean that it is possible to make top notch decisions as more team members would be involved. And by venturing, into the global stage this would mean that the organisation should be able to discuss the grand strategies which would be vital. Moreover, this can only be done through the effectiveness of Democratic leadership.
I hope I have answered your question Pham ! Good day to you.

Thank you for the feedback Rachel ! Hope you enjoyed reading the blog.
As I have scored the least, in the aspect of inspire I have a number of way’s which is carved out in order to further improve my leadership skill. One of the very first aspect, that I could do is build people up. This is because, by giving small compliments it would be one of the way of brightening a person’s day and would inspire them to give their outmost best at whichever task that is being undertaken. In addition to that, I should also treat everyone equally as every human beings are equal regardless of their gender, political ideology or even race. By treating other’s on how they want to be treated, no matter of their background would inspire the trust and confidence within themselves. Through this ways, I would be able to sharpen my skills and therefore improve the aspect of Inspire in the long term run.
I hope, I have answered your question Rachel. Pleasant day to you.

Thank you for reading the blog Wafa ! Hope you enjoyed reading it.
There are many leader’s whom can fail terribly in the business world. One of it is because the leader’s are not opting to adapt to changes. For an instance, if the company is undergoing major changes and the employees are also seeking for changes therefore the leader should be able to adapt to new leadership style which would benefit the company as a whole. If the leader, does not align the subordinates working under him/her to changes therefore this would be a tall order to make the drastic changes being implemented in the organisation. Having said that, another manner in which the leader can fail terribly is because of the communication barrier. If the leader fails to give the right command towards the subordinates this would lead to heavy confusion in the working force. Through this, the subordinates would not know what to do next and thus would lead to unwanted communication issue in the organisation.
I hope, I have answered your question Wafa. Have a pleasant day ahead.

Thank you for the question Jason ! Hope that enjoyed reading the blog.
Being a leader for a numerous amount of time, in my Undergraduate studies gave me a wide array of experience’s. Having said that, there were a number of challenges which I faced when leading a team and especially in completing the task. Some of the challenges include, team member’s were late in finishing the task that was assigned to them. Even after setting a timeframe in order to get the task done, some of my team members still couldn’t complete their part in time. So, I as a leader had to set up to the plate and guide them in their work which was one of the key in solving the challenges that was faced. Through this, I was able to learn more on how to deal with the essence of time as being a leader the aspect of time is one of the foundation and recipe’s to lead a team to greater pinnacle of success.
I hope, I have answered your question Jason. Pleasant day to you.

Moving forward in the business field, I would first acquire a vast amount of experience which in return would be able to propel myself to greater heights. By having the experience in hand, I would sharpen my leadership style which is Transformational leadership and would apply it in the organisation that I am working it. I have always been the person, whom is charismatic in my ways and would be in the same frequency together with my subordinates and work towards achieving the goals or target’s which has been set. Through this, the organisation would be able to reach it’s of pinnacle success. Furthermore, by having the essence of inspiring other’s in my DNA I would also focus on formulating the best out of each and every individual so that they tend to give 110% of their effort in the work that is being undertaken.

Being equipped with both transformational and also democratic leadership style this two aspects has been the core essence in my quest to become a successful leader in the future. Coming back to the question, that if I have to change my leadership style in the organisation I would readily make changes to my leadership style. This is because, a leader should be able to adapt to changes. Those changes would not be an overnight change but would take a specific amount of time due to the time of adoption. Moreover, by exposing myself to different shades of leadership style this would mean I would be equipped with a larger array of knowledge of which I can implement in my organisation.

Moving into the future, I would adapt another leadership skill which is Charismatic leadership. Charismatic leader’s are leaders whom influences the followers with their charm and also their very own personality. In addition to that, charismatic leaders are leader’s whom would be the head of the show in an organisation. I have always wanted to be the frontman in the organisation and thus leading the organisation to their pinnacle success. As such, it can be through charismatic leadership as this leaders possesses the vision and have the confident to articulate the vision in the highest of quality.

Being a leader, has always been in my DNA and therefore there a number of things that I could contribute as a leader. First things first, if I was given a chance to be the frontman in an organisation I would instil my democratic and transformational leadership which would be able to bring the organisation to the pinnacle of success. Moreover, as democratic leadership is also one of my important philosophy which I tend to carry I would make sure my subordinate would be in the same wavelength with me and guide them to success. In addition to that, as participative aspect is the core foundation towards democratic leadership therefore by getting the support of my subordinates I would be able to achieve the grand vision’s and strategies in the organisation with ease.
