Today’s world is characterized by three important attributes that are ever-changing and contribute drastically to an organization's success and affect an individual's overall growth. They are * technological advancement, commercial innovation and disruption.The constant change in all these areas of business is making leadership adapt to more flexible and relatable strategies. In my industry experience I have deeply observed that the organizational structures need to accept the challenges and suggestions put forward by their leadership in order to not fall behind in the near future and continue their legacy of work by being an important value addition to their organization’s success. Leaders need to take their roles and responsibilities seriously with conviction keeping in mind their vision for future. They need to understand the trend and set the foundation for their current teammates to follow. What makes a leader great is his / her ability to connect with individuals on a deeper level, contribute actively in their journey and motivate them in ways where they seek guidance and help to become better versions of themselves.

The leader over the course of his / her journey takes up various roles. He / She acts as a mentor, guide and coach to their team. A coach provides the support to their team to succeed in every step of their journey. They allow their team to showcase their skills, capabilities and hard work to be recognized by others in their organization. Leaders who take their position seriously help their organization by strengthening relationships with colleagues, diverse teams, suppliers, and end customers. They approach every individual with compassion and understanding, contributing to business growth.

As a strategist, a leader should define overall goals for the team and develop the best processes to achieve those goals simultaneously. As a good strategist, the leader can ensure that his / her team looks up to them for any guidance, mentorship and support.
