Highlights
Leadership is both an art and a skill
Interviews were conducted in Pakistan, Turkey, and Malaysia regarding the incoherence of Western understanding of leadership
The capitalistic understanding of leadership clashed with the core values of the East or oriental cultures
Summary
Leadership is both an art and a skill. As a skill, it requires the practical ability of an individual, group, or organization to lead, influence, and guide other individuals. The findings highlight that leadership literature stems from Western values, which is incongruent with Eastern literature and wisdom and not aligned with indigenous thoughts of Pakistan, Turkey, and Malaysia. Another study, which took place in five European countries, reflected that ethics and concern for followers are critical competencies expected from the leaders (Iordanoglou, Tsakarestou, Tsene, & Leandros, 2014) All these studies and their findings have a reason as the role of business is evolving in the Western world. Bommer, andDulebohn (2018) associate this shift because of numerous corporate scandals that appeared over time They highlighted the numbers that reflect a clear shift towards moral/ethical leadership styles. Gandolfi and Stone (2018) elaborated on three major reasons the world is opening up for new leadership models They highlighted the decadence in morality that can be observed in business news. Apart from research, the servant view of leadership is gaining momentum in practice
