ABSTRACT

The key issue about leadership for the future is unlocking the enormous human potential by winning people’s emotional support. When individuals are questioned about their idea of leadership and who makes an effective leader, they tend to think in terms of dominant characters who inspire confidence and then persuade others to their point of view. Let look at some of the trends that seem to be taking place which will have an impact on leaders in organizations. These trends will affect everyone, whether they are a first line team leader or a chief executive. Effective leadership in the future will make use of the process of empowerment, with followers seeking empowerment rather than being tightly controlled. Effective leaders will understand the importance of aligning people with the organizational mission and they will encourage the creation of team goals to tap into potential abilities and performance levels.
