- 1 Independent Researcher, Doha, Qatar
Abstract
Organisations have been changing and have encountered an accelerated rate of change. This accelerated change rate has led to increased interest in how to be at the leading edge of corporate business with a focus on the employees responsible for leading out that strategic change. This article analyses the leaders who are working in a leading Energy organisation. This article also reviews the leadership style of the subject leader and his way of leading his team in addition to the formation of his leadership style with reference to various classical and contemporary theories of management. It is apparent that the subject leader has proven to have leadership skills to properly analyze the sensibilities of cultural differences both on an interpersonal level and on the practical and professional levels. Therefore, he is not only able to form personal and emotional ties with his subordinates, but he is also able to do this cross-culturally.
