“Leadership”
Mr. Ali is a CEO at AL-FLAH international, an electronics manufacturing industry. Two years
earlier this organization had to go through very difficult phase. One of its competitors adopted
innovative technology and captured a huge market share of AL-FLAH international while ALFLAH
was operating on its previous old methods of manufacturing. Higher management tried
to change its processes by adopting new technologies but it was a huge failure as employees did
not support that system. Top level management was unable to control this downfall in
company’s profits resultantly the overall condition at organization became worse. At that time
Mr. Ali was hired as CEO. He had a working experience of 20 years in the same field and had a
good rapport among business blocks. He was famous for changing losses into profits. New
entrants in this field idealized him and tried to follow his ways. After his joining, the very first
task he did was to raise the awareness of people regarding certain rewards and the ways to
achieve them. He made people look beyond their self interests and helped them in
understanding the need for change both emotionally and intellectually. He adopted a long-range
perspective to resolve current organizational issues. The higher management was very hopeful
that with his leadership qualities he would be able to bring AL-FLAH international at the top
place soon.
