Leadership decision-making utilizing a strategic focus to enhance global achievement

The purpose of this paper is to help leaders recognize the importance of utilizing a strategic focus to enhance achievement in a highly competitive global environment. Leadership theories allow most managers to be classified into a specific leadership framework. This framework can provide clues as to how leaders make decisions. In the competitive environment in which organizations operate today, leaders need to evaluate the assumptions utilized in decision-making. In our society where information and knowledge are expanding exponentially, a new model may assist leaders which incorporate the stakeholders into the decision-making process. Whether a leader is classified as a charismatic, a shared, a distributive, a collaborative or an authoritative leader, a new focus may be necessary in order to be successful in the new global environment.
