The imperative of modern business are initiatives for the transformation of companies that are becoming a necessity in order to maintain a competitive advantage through continuous change and adaptation to the market economy. Today, most authors emphasize the team and collective approach to leadership compared to the former traditional, organizational and transformational approach to leadership.
