Leaders' focus on followers' needs
Purpose – This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – When Rudyard Kipling said East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet, he reckoned without the consequences of the unrelenting globalization of business. East and West meet on a daily basis as commerce – and culture – become increasingly interdependent. Business leaders and their followers the world over face similar challenges and rapid advances in communication allow us to focus on those similarities. That is not to say, however, that diversity can be sidelined or that a style of business leadership which works well in one part of the globe will necessarily work well elsewhere. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to digest format.
