Abstract

In the traditional sense of the term, ‘leadership’ refers to the act of leading through different administrative functions on the way to organizational success. In the present era of dynamic competition marked by rapid technological advancement as well as global crises, the role of leaders has increased substantially, necessitating the adoption of Strategic Leadership – leadership that helps sustain and achieve competitive advantages in turbulent situations. The aim of this paper is to identify the future challenges of strategic leadership in crisis management and suggest measures to surmount them. The paper also attempts to identify the leadership environment, which is necessary, besides putting forward some suggestions, for leading effectively in the VUCA world or in the realm of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
