The leadership traits require team members to be dedicated to the company and place a premium on speed, flexibility, and the ability to lead in uncertain situations (Stockton et al., 2014, “Developing 21 st Century Leadership Skills,” para. 2). The decision-maker should always have the customer in mind when making decisions and be confident in the decisions made (Indeed, 2023, “Top 10 Leadership Traits,” para. 6). With operations currently looking to expand to Saudi Arabia in the next year, LSN leaders are expected to be competent in global leadership. In addition, effective leaders must demonstrate flexibility, open-mindedness, cultural interest, and sensitivity (SHRM, 2008, “Essential Leadership Competencies,” Fig. 2). Through diversity and inclusion, LSN will be provided a competitive advantage (Stockton et al., 2014, “Developing 21 st Century Leadership Skills,” para. 3). In developing the job posting, consideration was made in the evolution of leadership: shifting from autocratic previously to now fostering employee development and maximizing workforce performance through transformational leadership (UMGC, n.d., “Transformational Leadership,” para. 1).

An effective leader possesses traits such as accountability, adaptability, and creativity, along with people management skills, empathy, and interpersonal relationship skills (Indeed, 2023, “Top 10 Leadership Traits,” para. 1-10). Transformational leaders prioritize both the collective success of the team and the achievement of its objectives along with the advancement of each team member. Transformational leadership fosters six activities for enacting a vision: structuring, selecting and training, motivating, managing information, team building, and promoting change and innovation (Kirkpatrick & Locke, 1991, pp. 56-58). Kirkpatrick, S., & Locke, E. (1991, May). Leadership: Do traits matter? Academy of Management Executive, 5 (2), 48-60.

Strategic thinking is extremely effective and valuable because it defines the way an organization accesses, views, and creates its future (Center for Simplified Strategic Planning, 2008, para. 1). This ensures LSN has well-trained, experienced, and motivated talent ready to step into key positions. The skills used in strategic thinking, such as focus, flexibility, and the ability to be proactive, benefit LSN as part of its succession planning because those attributes align with LSN’s core values.
