Analysing The Leadership Skills in Teamwork at Nestle India Ltd

Abstract

Leadership plays a crucial role in instilling confidence and trust in followers, enabling them to work together more efficiently towards their goals. At all levels of an organization, effective leadership is essential for guiding team members toward progress. However, leadership alone is insufficient without the full commitment and collaboration of the entire team to bring the vision to fruition. The success of an organization depends on two fundamental factors: strong leadership and collective effort. A group of unmotivated and unskilled individuals cannot assist a leader in achieving significant success, and conversely, a leader's potential is limited without a motivated team (Kouzes & Posner, 2007). It is imperative that the leader's actions inspire the entire team to work toward the organization's objectives. While contemporary leadership theories categorize leaders based on various traits such as transactional, transformational, autocratic, and charismatic, this paper argues that a collaborative approach is essential for a team's success. In participatory leadership, the leader treats every team member with respect and provides opportunities for their contributions to the business's growth. This study explores numerous leadership theories and emphasizes that leaders can foster team development and productivity by adopting a collaborative approach. To support this analysis, the paper profiles successful businesses whose executives have embraced collaboration as a key aspect of their leadership style.
