INTRODUCTION
Leadership is a very subjective term. It has been attempted to be defined in many different ways. Basically it can be outlined as- the job of a person heading a team of people, to facilitate the group and interlock them in a course of action by stimulating their complete poten0tial.
In our world today, people come from very many different belief systems and it is essential for a leader to motivate each one of his personnel in the best possible manner to maximise the strength of his team. Cultural leadership is fundamental for any leader working with people with different ethnicities and also to amend his ways when moved to a different location.
“Leadership: the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower
