Figure 2 Adapting to your context.

Adapting your leadership to your situation is an important aspect of effective leadership, and context plays a key part in determining that situation.

Context can be drawn from a range of perspectives, including international, national, local and internal. It can be influenced by politics, community values and organisational culture. Two areas of particular interest are cross-cultural and generational context.
