Transforming managers into twenty-first century leaders
Present day Business:
Technological advances, sophisticated, more demanding consumers and the globalization of trade are among the many factors that have altered the way managers operate within their organizations. The highly structured, bureaucratic establishments of the past have recognized that continual change is part and parcel of doing business today. Decision-making channels are being inverted from the top down to the bottom up. These are the realities of twenty-first century business. The function of organizations and organizational leadership in this era must be redefined - conventional org charts restructured.
The Changing Requirements of Leaders Today:
Traditional enterprises with their many layers of management are
facing obsolescence as challenges' arising from the frequency of
change overwhelms their rigid bureaucracies. Customers too, have
evolved; they are more computer literate and have greater access
to product and competitor information via the Internet. They expect
better product quality, improved services and more competitive prices.
This has given rise to growing waves of customer-centric organizations.
As you will see in the sections that follow, the attributes of leaders
today stand in stark contrast to the managers of yesteryear. Corporate
cultures are highly differentiated; dynamic team based working environments
are becoming the norm. Successful companies insistently seek leaders
who possess a completely different set of qualities. The goal of

your current leaders, determine key organizational objectives and
to develop measures necessary to transform your managers into highly
effective leaders whose goals align with that of the organization.
