Introduction:

Leadership is one of the most discussed topics and researched topics in human behavior in a organizational or managerial way. There was a study in 1999 that there were about 2,000 books published that had Leadership as a main topic. And there is still much to learn about it. There are many ways that leadership can be defined, used and implemented.

Leadership is a power to change the environment of the work place so that everyone can contribute creatively and efficiently in order to solve a problem. And when it is said that leadership is a power or ability, it means that a leader gained that power and ability through talent and skill, where talent is an ability that a human is born with, but skill is proficiency that can be obtained and taught by experience and training. Offcource talent helps the person to become a better leader but it isnt enough, there a many people with no natural leadership ability but by experience, training and most importantly by being persistence became one the greatest leaders a person could ever meet.

Leadership is accommodative, meaning that the leader makes the necessary adjustments to the workplace. It also act as a setting, meaning that a leader adjusts to the surrounding environment and people, carefully observing and looking for a way to adapt the setting to make it the most effective and efficient. Leadership also empowers others, which mean that a leader can inspires confidence and self-esteem into others. And there are many ways to get that inspiration. Some leaders may inspire by talking boldly or softly to others, and others lead by example.

There are numerous ways to empower rather than just a single way. All leadership competencies are behaviors and skills that promote a very high level performance. Using a competency-based method to leadership, firms and organizations can find and develop their new leaders. Focusing on leadership competencies and the development of skills lead to superior leadership but the skills that is needed to a cretin position may vary depending on level of leadership that is needed within the organization. So by using the competency approach, the firm can find specific competencies at the positions and levels that are required. Researchers have found and identified some of the important leadership competencies that are a core value for an organization.

Management and leadership:

The key success factor in being a good leader is to understand the changes that come along in the business environment, and within that environment comes the important and essential role of management. Combining leadership and management will help an organization built its way into a better future.

The role of mangers is to maximize the efficiency of the firm in order to reach its goals. Leadership and management may look like they are the same thing and that is not true, they work well together but differ in small fundamental areas, however they set the same set of skills and tasks. Management is a general way in the controlling the activities within the business organization while leadership on the other hand is more interested in the forward movement or the growth of the firm or the organization.

There are skills that represent management such as keeping track of the progress and ensuring that the work at hand gets completed effectively, supervise operation and procedures and making sure that everyone is doing their work efficiently. While some of the leadership skills involve maintaining a good relationship within the team and motivating the team members, leaders should also lead by example they dont always say, they do. So management and leadership although being different in the essence, combining the skills of both of them will be a great combination and will get produce good outcomes for the organization.

The objective of the research paper:

The objective of this research paper is to discuss the role of leadership competency in management by highlighting and defining the important parts of both leadership and management such as the skills needed to for being a good manager and leader also showing the main differences between them and also how combining them can lead the organization to reach its goal. And by discussing topics that relate to the main theme in order to present summaries and present Recommendations to managers and managerial implications.

Supporting Literature:

Business Implications and Strategy Control New Leadership Competencies (A study of senior executives views on the future): This study emphasizing that business changes and strategy drive the leadership competency. Fluctuating of Leadership Strategies, the knowledge of economy and globalization causes the growth of competition that will assure the leadership strategies will be subjected to significant changes. Regarding the future business environment changes, we found that all or almost important leadership competencies will have effective managerial change, developing talent-teams and being effective maker of collaborator/network. Actually, as competencies should be motivated by future business strategy, it is important to consider the major business movements or changes of the upcoming year. Some future business trends are identified in (CCL), that will affect the leadership abilities needed to enhance business identified and it will be briefly explained as following:

1. The increases of Complex Challenges: organizations are facing problems that are becoming more complicated. 2. Innovation Revolution: Organizations are looking to use innovation in order to stay competitive. 3. Virtual Leadership: technological advances and globalization, leadership will be a business challenge 4. Collaboration Nation: Collaboration across borders will make the market bigger 5. World of Interruption: the growing problem of Executives working during many interruptions.

6. Authenticity: to be an authentic leader is a huge challenge foe executives

Based on forthcoming business movements to form the development of leadership competencies, all organizations must also consider the exact strategy and favored business outcomes of a particular organization. By developing competency models, which will reflect the upcoming years of strategy of the business and the important outcomes to stakeholders for example, customers, shareholders, and investors, organizations can effectively build a leadership brand. The definition of a leadership brand as stated in Dave and Norm study is to be well recognized for developing exceptional managers with a unique set of talents, which are uniquely geared to fulfill what was expected by customers and investors. In addition, researchers have found benefit from reliable leadership, which is that; the share price will increase when investors have sureness in the leadership gift or talent of an organization. By establishing a unique leadership brand, organizations will surely gain a competitive advantage through the leading competencies that produce results to interested party.

Strataplex: what leading skills are needed through organization level:

A strataplex model for leadership skills was tested conceptually and empirically by the writer of this study. Cognitive, interpersonal, business and strategic here are four broad categories of Leadership skills. The strataplex model shows the differences of four skills, based on respective of an organizations management levels. In The model of more than thousand new, middle and senior managers was tested by the researchers. As a result, the outcomes proved that senior levels of

management in the organization needed more or higher leadership skills. Cognitive skill was the most required skill among all the levels of leadership. They believe on that, this skill is the heart of all leadership skills because it covers the capability to obtain new knowledge and to absorb new ways to solve problems. What more interested is that, business and strategic skills are the two effective skills to acquire when we move to advanced levels of leadership. Because this research practically explains that, leadership skills are different at various managerial levels on ladder of the career, it is very important. Keeping in mind that to be more valuable at the advanced levels of management or leading business strategic skills must be acquired. The professionals of Human Resources should consider into their accounts that the differences in competencies needed as managers move to advanced positions of level leadership.

Fairness concepts of managers regarding high potential identification:

High potentials usually refer as the promising leaders of future for an organization. Moreover, it is very important to planning of succeeding and leadership development actions in an organization, the process of finding high potentials. The identifying of the different ways that organizations are taking in mind for the process of finding high potential leaders, and how the employees observe the fairness of the process was the purpose of this research. A survey was distributed by the researchers at a leadership meeting to leaders from a variety of organization sizes and different industries, the survey had questions about the high potential finding process as well as the observation of fairness of the process. The outcomes of that survey showed that 69 percent of time was

10

consumed to identify high potentials by competencies. Moving toward these outcomes, communication skills, strategic skills and being a decision-maker were the most important competencies used in purpose of identifying the high potentials. In addition, the high potential identification process, the communication and evaluation of that process were all significantly connected when we come to feelings of observing fairness, this also was found in the survey. This case explains how leadership competencies can be helpful in the work. Finally, when we are finding high potentials a fair process might lead to higher observed fairness for example, a competency approach.

The impacts of applying strategies of competition and performance of business unit:

Investigated in this study. They believe on that these competitive strategies have positive benefits to firm performance. This article showed that more than two hundred organizations were included in the research sample from a range of industries. The findings stated that transformational leadership was significantly linked to market orientation. The authors define market orientation in terms of culture based on this study. In more depth, the organization culture simplifies values and basis that positively contribute to customer satisfaction and worth. Transformational leaders are believed to influence and help form the culture of organization. Moreover, transformational leadership was also positively connected to differentiation and low-cost strategies in marketing. Consequently, market diversity was positively related to firm performance indicators. Furthermore, it was found that the competency of transformational leadership has a positive effect on firm performance over market diversity. One way to improve market orientation is to

11

develop the competency of transformational leadership was absorbed from the outcome. Also, this research shows that leadership competencies can have an influence on the least (bottom) line of organizations via competitive strategies. The professionals of HR can inspire firm performance by identifying and improving important leadership competencies in the organization.

Competency in management is a real and helpful in the world today. It is of prime importance that managers and workers embrace togetherness making the world like a one united village. If competency is used objectively, it will enhance organization wealth, manger, employees and international organization. Leadership has the biggest role in it. It is clear that if the leadership of various countries doesnt enact proper government policies that encourage international business, international culture, and international relations then competency management cannot overcome. Leaders must remember that they must have a vision and work for the dream tirelessly. Sometimes they have to go an extra mile so that their dreams of a prosperous nation can be realized. The clich a blind man cannot lead another blind man is true in the sense that leaders must be brilliant people who are informed and ready to work in a vision that they have. Thinking to reach and acting locally is a great quote for all leaders because local makes global. Leaders must factor in all competency factors before implementing any action for the firm. The fact that human beings have common basic needs is a clear driver of why people should share the world resources through organization. The reason for this assumption is that, competency in management makes it possible to sell or buy commodities that one cannot produce in his/her country.

Discussing the role leadership competency in management:

The role of leadership competency in management comes alliance with near to leadership it could be shown as a carries on promises to reasonable and simple process of choosing a set of measurement and development for leaders it not only just can reveals of the difficulty to the leadership. For more details we illustrate on two sets of data an examination for the leadership competency structure and an analysis of contributor report from a reflective leadership development studies. A clear clarifying with comparing the two data sets things to see as a considerable different to the relative important places on it. Relationship and emotional are point of leadership. The behaviors of these diversities are considered as are habits in which the competency moves toward it could be allied more closely with the present and future wants of leaders and organizations. In exacting, we discuss that more discursive come near that helps to reveal and defy fundamental organizational assumptions is probably to be more useful if organizations are thinking to move ahead of unusual ideas of leadership towards more comprehensive and collective figures. Logical problems are also tend to raise around the relative studies of actually incommensurable copies.

Management change and solving the problem with setting vision and strategy:

Management it could change from time to time with the new era in matter affect management should provide studies that show the effective part with executive them so they can used their variety resources so they can lead their organization to higher levels of performance. Using life examples, such as General Electric, Aramco, Sabic, and sumo, these

13

companies has adapted the changes with good standing of Leading with mixing the latest advances in managerial leadership, continuous improvement, strategic change, and with learning the new ways for adapting the latest development. Belasen offers an amazing view of how high performance leaders use managerial learning to get breach performance. He strongly discuses that managers who stay away from questioning their operating factory today will find themselves without market share tomorrow. "Leading the Learning community" is an excellent examination of a different of current companies' matters, including adjusting to the market, interacting in the value chain, leading themselves, communicating, learning, and developing competencies; managing the value-based organization; and initiating transformational learn. However each manager face in his path some difficulties, so he should take chances for making decisions for each problem he may face it through his employees or through his company deals or through himself as they your life is like a path filled with difficulties try to management them right, in the leadership management competency a manager should set a goal for his company and it should be in the market place, with putting plans and strategies for the next five or ten year.

Managing politics and influencing others and taking risk and innovation:

Modern managers, affective by new developments in the government rules in this case he or she should take some action for his organization with fully riskiness it known that as affirmative action as for the public policy can be a risk with a smart move of success which can lead the organizational higherlevel. As a manager he should face three major problems: first, basic misunderstandings about the riskiness of

14

management and policy effect; second, the procedure which can be problem situation; and third, the management of a catalytic it came of matter management and policy manipulate after moving from the political problem he should take some risk for huge changes for his organization like the say in the business with massive risk comes with huge profit.

Enhancing business skills and knowledge and management team work:

in this part when analysis the organization base to the economy condition with comparing to it data and the team work in it .it reflects on the transaction and the communication with each member in the team which it can tend to be the set measurement of microeconomic analysis, and it defines the team work and transactions as one for which it can be a single executive entity distances both sides of the process, some form of these subs may can be succeed and, usually, combined with each other.however, we eplains thats advantages of the process come close to by showing three problems: vertical integration, insurance, price discrimination and. Develops the concept of the managerial not a success structure, and we shown thats why it is always the mixture of labor with environmental factors, not either choosen by itself, that causes these process of problems. this report also elaborate each part of this operational relations of interest, and explains the compensations of local organization with value to the operational circumstance. The data elaborates why the primary work group teams of the peer group arise. The same processer causes which stay on the way of autonomous contracting and between individuals also slows market exchange between scientifically independent work groups. however groups can be cooperate

15

as an internal operational response to the rasping of intermediary product markets, while we concentrated on management competency deals with all elementary subject in the system on the organization sense hence, it is proper to look at how leadership has affects especially the growth of organization.

We first concentrate on leadership and team work in the company. For team group members to become successes, it has to be multinational, multiracial, and multicultural. To achieve that, the group must define a strategy in which they will reach different kinds of people. They should be able to devise a means through which they will reach the goals and capture their objective For that to be effective, it will depend greatly on the leaders. In an economy, the executive and the legislative arm of government make decisions which will affect the economy directly. They will have to make a decision on whether to concentrate the income of the economy like development of communications as different to company production or education for a particular period of time. developing infrastructural sign posts throughout the management as a result of the missionary system that fuels its economical expansion. In fact, the local company is a unit of the global network in different national territories worldwide. This is a brilliant idea that can only be implemented by the leadership of the organization mangers. Those who think locally can never go local but those who think global and act local do so by acting local in different locations. The result is a operational network which essentially enhances the globalization

Understanding and navigating the organization:

From consideration of the psychological perspective presented in this paper, and the position of a number of researchers, including Clancey, Spiro, Schmalhofer, Garrod,as well as ourselves, there is agreement that creating vocabularies and organizations for concepts, and then see in how people use them, may not be the best way to proceed. It is instead argued that we first have to better understand the epistemology of medical knowledge and how meaning is negotiated in actual practice. The capacity of people to learn to adapt to and regulate evolving structures and situations in a flexible way is a critical consideration. In humanhuman interactions we are adept at this. In designing interactions among human and machines we must also allow for this type of flexibility. The ideal of having one standard vocabulary for everybody may not be feasible. In this article, it has been discussed that just storing and retrieving concepts that are contained in a system will lead to problems. Indeed, this is very static view of how knowledge is used in practice. In contrast, interest should be the organization has concentrated on understanding and navigating the organization. sense hence, it is proper to look at how leadership has affects especially the organization of companies. We first concentrate on leadership and understanding it. For a firm group to become managerial, it should focused on how the term of knowledge is become in many levels, including how to navigate it, each situation in every level and at the level of communication among groups. there for impacted on understanding it so by enhancing its may growth through free movement of the ambassadors of management. The workers can be able to meet anywhere in the world and congregate and share what they belief in common. Through satellite Television, televangelism has led to

17

expansion of good teamwork organizations because people get converted easily as it is easy to reach them at the same time. However, there is nothing that has only the best. Some of the competencies leaders have ended up take in their followers into contributing money for projects that do not exist. The money obviously, ends up in their pockets. These are some the undesirable effects of navigating in worse shape.

Leadership Competencies in a Global Level:

During the last decade everything in the world changes rapidly. In all aspects of life we can touch this changes and the information technology had a great portion of this changes, which make us live in a smaller world with all those different means of communication. Nowadays we can observe how the debt issue of Greece had dragged the whole Euro Zone to the bottom, which in turn had strikes the economics of all the trade partners of the European countries. From those observations we can acknowledge how the role of managers had become harder to deal with such an aggressive environment. Since the appearance of the multinational corporations the managers are forced to deal with all different culture, values, beliefs, and people from the different countries around the globe. The managers of the multinational corporations must acknowledge the critical different skills and competencies required to meet the different challenges in a global level. The most important challenge for those managers is to deal with the diverse group of employees from different countries. In addition, the managers must balance between being flexible and fair at the same time so they can interact with their employees who have different intellectual backgrounds without causing undesired conflicts. In the other hand, the

18

managers of the multinational corporations must be aware of the diverse legal activities in a global standard to be safe from violating any law. Also, the leadership of successful organization must implement diversity policies and at the same time have a strong commitment towards those policies. So we can say that the managers in a global level should accrue more broad knowledge and skills from those in a domestic level. Also, the managers in a global level they must know how to reflect a bright image about their countries and cultures. In addition, the global managers have a great responsibility to deal with a large portion of stakeholders from different countries around the globe.

Recommendations & conclusion:

Competency in management is a real and helpful in the world today. It is of prime importance that managers and workers embrace togetherness making the world like a one united village. If competency is used objectively, it will enhance organization wealth, manger, employees and international organization. Leadership has the biggest role in it. It is clear that if the leadership of various countries doesnt enact proper government policies that encourage international business, international culture, and international relations then competency management cannot overcome. Leaders must remember that they must have a vision and work for the dream tirelessly. Sometimes they have to go an extra mile so that their dreams of a prosperous nation can be realized.

Thinking to reach and acting locally is a great quote for all leaders because local makes global. Leaders must factor in all competency factors before implementing any action for the firm. The fact that human beings have common basic needs is a clear driver of why people should share the world resources through organization. The reason for this assumption is that, competency in management makes it possible to sell or buy commodities that one cannot produce in his/her country.

Implications:

Our report illustrates that the developing of diversity policies can help the organization to maintain a strong position in the market against their other competitors. The implementation of diversity policies will provide a creative environment for the employees to be more productive. The leadership of successful organization must know the best ways to use their organizations resources efficiently, which increase the productivity of the organization and in the meanwhile reduce the cost. Our report adds that when the leadership of an organization imposes more aggressive competitive strategies, which in turn will have a positive effect on the organization position in the market as a major player against the other competitors. Furthermore, we find that when the leadership of an organization decides to take more broad markets that eventually will lead to raise the level of Quality of the organization output.
