What should be the profile of today's leader in such an increasingly competitive context? How should a leader behave while facing many challenges while still required to get performance results? These challenges are budget cuts, more competitive markets locally and internationally, more demanding customers and a market that demands greater quality and agility in our products and services. Adding to that, employees may may find it difficult to adapt to these changes which are taking place faster and faster.
