Produce a reflective report on varied leadership approaches taken by different leaders in managing the changes arising from a contemporary issue (i.e. COVID 19). In order to achieve this, the main body of your report must include the following:

1) A brief introduction to the conceptual approaches of leadership and change management (LO1/2).

2) Exploration of the role of flexible leadership and individual perspectives in relation to leaders managing change of the pandemic (discussed through relevant literature, tools and techniques) (LO2/5/8).

3) Critical analysis of why the issue has strategic importance in understanding leadership approaches and their impact on its stakeholders whilst proffering some recommendations (discussed through relevant literature and supported by other contemporary examples) (LO2/6/12)

The reflective report requires you to use the relevant module material (ideas, concepts, theories, frameworks and research findings) to inform your evaluation. The assignment encourages you to take a strategic view of what good leadership entails and an evaluation of todays global leaders in embracing flexibility to managing change whilst dealing with current and emerging global trends. Well established media (e.g. BBC, Financial Times, New York Times, etc) may be used to develop the context of the discussion, but the material used to underpin the research and analysis should be from academic books and/or updated peer-reviewed academic journals.

1: analyse and critically evaluate major ideas and practices in the field of people management.
