Abstract

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

Leadership style can have a significant effect on organizational performance and successful completion of projects. Transformational leadership is potentially the most ideal option because of its emphasis on relationships, collaboration, and team member autonomy. However, the contingent reward element of transactional leadership might also be incorporated into a strategy that is more likely to prove effective if project goals and the responsibilities of those involved are clearly defined.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researcher’s hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
