LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES OF TODAY'S MANAGERS: OVERVIEW OF APPROACHES AND A STUDY IN ROMANIA (original) (raw)

According to a world-wide research conducted in 2012 by Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the three biggest challenges facing HR managers over the next 10 years are: retaining and rewarding the best employees, developing the next generation of corporate leaders, and creating a corporate culture that attracts the best employees to organizations. Actually, the need for effective leadership is increasingly stressed in the latest international studies and public debates, as more as the concerns for defining and acquiring the core skills making the difference between the traditional managers and effective leaders required by today's global changing context. Our paper aims to highlight this kind of challenges related to effective leadership and management in contemporary organizations. Consequently, after a brief overview of conceptual approaches from the international literature and researches in the field, we present the main results of our study on the subject performed through an online questionnaire addressed those with related interests in our country (questionnaire applied via LinkedIn -one of the most known professional social networks in the world).
