Emerging trends in Leadership

Abstract: The role of leadership has always been central in shaping the employees, thereby fulfilling the expectations of the organizations. The concept of leadership has gone through a lot of changes through the years, thereby adding a new meaning to it every time. Whether leaders are born or created is still debatable but the leader’s importance does not decrease even today. Different researchers defined leadership differently and gave new theories in each instance, but the essence still remains the same. The leader always represents his people by playing different roles. Digitalization has added a new dimension in the ways a leader has to think, speak and act. Though the way ahead is not easy for the leaders today but it is definitely worth it. The 21st century leader walks behind his followers to continuously support them and help them grow into new leaders. Future requires leaders to continuously evolve with the change in environment.
