Differences that the 21st century leader faces from those faced by the 20th century leader
20th century vs. 21st century leadership
Business leadership is an important aspect of every organization. In fact, leaders play
the most important role in linking the resources to the organizational processes and that help
in the steering of the organization. In this case, the leader is responsible for coordinating how
the human resources utilize other organizational resources to accomplish the targets of the
organization, which in this case means the delivery of a particular standard of service or
