Topic: Leadership, Creativity & Innovation

Introduction

Leadership is an important indicator of representative, group, and authoritative creativity and

innovation. Creativity and innovation propel advancement and enable organizations to maintain a
competitive advantage. Workers' inventive presentations are frequently reliant on authority, as
evidenced by a few conceptualizations and precise investigations. Despite the fact that initiative
that propels advancement has been studied, the components for its relationship with the
development interaction, which incorporates both imagination and execution of innovative ideas,
have not been identified in sufficient detail (Emirates, 2021).

Emirates Airline is one of the largest airlines in the Middle East. It is a subsidiary of the Emirates
Group. According to Emirates Story, Emirates started in the aviation business with just two
aircraft (Ceil, 2019). A diverse group of people view initiative and the board in different ways.
Without leadership and executives, the business cannot achieve its authoritative goals. Emirate’s
authority and the executive cycle play a significant role in Emirates Airlines' continued success.
Emirates executives are consistently capable, act mature, treat people equally, are direct, buckle
up, focus, and plan, engage their employees in their considerations and especially when
monitoring change. Management and leadership groups understand how to make the aircraft
business attractive to customers and recognize those who have contributed to the success of the
business. Emirate Airlines, like any other association or organisation, requires strong leadership
and exceptional administration to guide their staff to the achievement of specific goals. This
paper describes the leadership style and different theories of leadership. It also demonstrates the
leadership style in Organization named, Emirates Airlines. Relation of different theories of
leadership is discussed in this paper. Also, the paper describes the impact of leadership behavior
and style on chosen organization and there is conclusion at the end of paper.

Leadership makes change and development:

Kotter proceeds to say that administration rehearses have a restricted, momentary concentration
(1990). Arranging and planning, putting together and staffing, just as checking and investigating,
are the three undertakings that guarantee the executives commonly includes. In contrast to the
board, authority has a more extensive viewpoint with a more drawn-out time skyline to make
 3

development inside the association (Al-Busaeedi, 2020). Kotter said that "Figure out where a
gathering of individuals ought to go, point them toward that path, and take part in progress, and
afterward inspire them to beat the inescapable deterrents they will experience in their way". This
implies that authority makes useful changes and developments inside the association.

Management, Leadership, and Motivation Concepts

The executives' initiative and inspiration play a significant role in the organization's success.
Emirate Airline, similar to some other affiliation or association, requires powerful authority and
the board to direct their representatives toward the accomplishment of explicit objectives.

The executives Theories:

Leadership hypotheses are the extraordinary individual direct rules adopted by a pioneer to
persuade and influence the behavior of subordinates. It is a continuous cycle that leads to people
achieving something or using resources to gain advantage. Leaders can make a condition, and it
is through the effects of that condition that the association can achieve its goals. There are three
distinctive types of boss styles: administrative management style, participatory management
style, and key leadership style.

Emirates Airline aims to be fierce and dedicated by using certain management styles. Emirates'
management style is a combination of participatory and key organization. The essential apex of
the association oversees orchestrating and making drives to support owners, interfacing fitting
use of resources for assemble the presentation of the association in their outside environmental
factors (In, 2020). Emirates utilizes a key administration style to foster the association's central
goal, vision, and objectives, just as to start techniques and plans, which are every now and again
dependent on undertakings and tasks. All of these is expected to give you a benefit in the
development market.

Theories about leadership:

Having the ability and desire to rouse and impact others is what initiative entails. Pioneers are
born into the world with driving authority characteristics and also acquire positive characteristics
and character that make them pioneers, according to the characteristic hypothesis (Jin, 2020). At
the point when an individual has five characteristics, for instance, earnestness, inspiration,
 4

prescience, capacity, and clever, he will make a great chief. Emirates' exuberant advantage and
position can be upheld by their chiefs. As per the authority's direct perspective, any individual
who shows legitimate lead can be a fruitful trailblazer. Trailblazers are made by learning
legitimate direct rather than by zeroing in on quality. The essential assignment of the social
viewpoint was to give fantastic proof of viable administration structures inside an affiliation. The
irregular or situational model of the drive spins around the possibility of situation. The
administration of Emirates Airline doesn't have a lone power style, and the tops of the
association can join with indefatigable, as well as the longing to focus on the capacity to act
rapidly and conclusively (Jin, 2020). The authority of the Emirates depends on the omnipresence,
and the impulse promotes the limits and the capacities to animate and influence the activities and
contemplations of the people or subordinates. Their bosses have a social impact that inspires reps
to work together to achieve a common goal.

The association with the leadership theory

Jeff Bezos’s leadership style is associated with transformational leadership theory. A

transformational leadership theory is a new approach to administration that focuses on how
pioneers can affect significant and positive change in their followers (Kim, 2019). When
considering political pioneers, James MacGregor Burns first proposed the concepts of
transformational leadership theory (1978); however, this term is now used when examining
organizations as well. Transformational leadership theory is an important and widely used
approach to contemplating and instructing management.

key insights about leadership in the Transformational Leadership Theory

Individualized Consideration, Intellectual Stimulation, Inspirational Motivation, and Idealized

Influence are the four essential segments of Transformational Leadership. Every one of these
portions is unmistakably connected with individual and definitive execution.

Maybe than directors who keep on moving associations along all around worn ways, new
pioneers should change the associations and lead them down new ways (Zhang, 2019). What is
generally anticipated of this sort of pioneer is the capacity to help the association in cultivating a
fantasy and technique of what it could be to actuate the relationship, to perceive and seek after
 5

achieving the new vision, and to normalize the movements that should keep going over since
quite a while ago run.

The Social Motivation Hypothesis:

The Latin word "movere" was the source of inspiration at first. "Movere" means "to move."
Motivation is a cycle that impacts individuals to act. Inspiration has to do with a lot of free or
ward variable associations that explain the course, adequacy, and constancy of a solitary's lead,
keeping predictable the impacts of bounty, capacity, and cognizance of the task, and the
objectives working in the environment. The speculations are uncovered to motivate people who
will help the head of an association in driving his representatives.

Maslow's chain of command of requirements is one of the most notable speculations of human
inspiration. As indicated by Maslow's ordering of Needs, advisor Abraham Maslow advanced a
motivation speculation, as per which central and low-level prerequisites, like physiological
necessities and prosperity, should be met before more raised level necessities, like self-
culmination, are pursued (Madsen, 2018). Maslow's motivation speculation tends to a singular's
essential necessities as a whole and would fulfill them. Maslow's progression of necessities
depends on five degrees of prerequisites, from base to top: physiological requirements, security
needs, social necessities, respect needs, and self-fruition. At the point when the lower-level
necessities, for example, physiological and prosperity needs, are met by an agent, the huger level
prerequisites become huge. Therefore, an enormous number of others are keen on working with
the Emirates group.

They give an assortment of delegate prizes, acknowledgment, impulse, and execution programs,
which are all planned to help the best from individuals who have decided to assemble their
professions with Emirate Airline. Agents who are totally ready and gifted are basic to an
association's prosperity. Subsequently, Emirates gives proficient preparing and progression to
guarantee that their family can deal with their work capability (Squalli, 2014).

Management, and Leadership Styles of Emirates Airlines:

Today, Emirate's transporter has acquired a high position and a business Center because of their
fruitful organization and authority. The drive of Emirates Carriers is controlled by the family's
administration style. Emirate's airplanes authority investigation found that Emirate's drive style is
 6

ubiquity based, which infers that their organization urges various people to interface themselves
and various people from the total, especially financial backers, are attracted to take a ultimate
choice (Saeed, 2018). Emirates' chiefs stir their workers; motivation is their strategy for inspiring
their representatives to tackle their responsibilities energetically, helping the association in
making brilliant progress in the transporter market. People will respond in unforeseen ways in an
assortment of circumstances (Bipath, 2014). Emirates is as of now working outings in different
metropolitan networks from one side of the planet to the other, and corporate course of action
gives importance with an assortment of their accomplices, explicitly with their clients. They are
likewise committed to the assortment of their clients, and their organization approach is novel,
which incorporates that Emirates' clients and organizations get amazing help, and their extreme
and genuine staff and agents offer magnificent help to their clients.

According to Emirates aircrafts authority investigation, Emirates Airliners' current move is to

establish itself as a carrier industry pioneer with a Centre methodology in the aircraft business.
Emirates Airlines intends to expand their business in order to reach more customers, allowing
them to be more beneficial (Majd, 2019). Their administration is client-centered; they understand
that if they invest a large sum of money, they will get excellent service, and by doing so,
Emirates can gain a significant position in the air market.

Changes in executives are critical because they allow the organisation to adapt to the constant
changes in the overall market. Emirates' founder has announced a significant flaw in the
organisation. Their change is to improve their aircraft administrations and data innovation
framework (Megheirkouni, 2018). These advancements have resulted in a lift within the carrier
industry's local area, allowing them to hire more representatives from various nations. Emirates'
administration and work of a large multi-social group of over 163 ethnicities are critical
components of the company's continued business success. Emirates Group, article expresses that
Emirates' successful administration and gifted pioneers help workers become one of the world's
best airhostesses, winning over 400 honors and helping them perceive a name for dominance in
the avionics and travel industry.

Aircraft Innovation:

Emirates' prosperity equation is an arrangement of inventive and innovative thoughts in

searching for promising circumstances and their approach to problem solving. Its positive culture
 7

fosters novel thoughts, frequently contrary to the flow industry's viewpoint, as evidenced by their
exceptional administrations, for example, individual theatre setups in all seats, private five-star
suites, cell phone utilization in the plane, and their extraordinary 'Smart Landing and Smart
Runway security arrangements.' Emirates believes in doing what appears to be acceptable while
leaving out what does not appear to be acceptable. It is important to note that this cannot be
refined solely by the board, but rather by a diverse labor force (Spasojevic, 2019). In 2011, a
review was led on seven significant distance airplanes, including Emirates, Air France, British
Airways, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, and an assortment of others. The objective was to
survey the transporters' nature of administration as far as customer experience, from flight
booking to convincing baggage claim. Emirates rose to the first spot on the list as the best expert
community. The leaders are responsible for workforce orchestrating and the delegate new
development (Al-Busaeedi, 2020).

Orchestrating is the fundamental period of planning and progression, which is a critical piece of
the leaders' human resources. Workers are viewed as essential to the affiliation's thriving.
Essentially, we can explain Emirates' victories through formed thoughts that advocate the
association among accomplishments and strong drive in the affiliation. It is the outcome of the
pioneers' exactness, timing, and real culture, which similarly connects with standard practices
inside the affiliation. There are positive business results when there is precision (Emirates, 2021).
The association's undertakings and courses of action accentuate authority, client center, and
corporate social obligation, which is about regular legitimacy. Albeit these parts cover an
assortment of parts of various leveled conduct, we zeroed in on power and definitive culture as
the establishment for the association's prosperity.

The following is how multicultural issues were resolved:

When it comes to Emirates Airlines, a hierarchical culture has been in place since the company's
founders, members of the Royal family of Dubai, established the company. The owners
emphasized the importance of individuals and customers. The selection cycle is an important part
of valuing their representatives. They hire the most qualified people in the field, and when they
are hired, turnover is extremely low, implying that they are looking forward to retirement. This is
critical in the development of a labor force because it has a positive impact on the organisation
(Matira, 2020). Hierarchical culture played a significant role in providing compelling authority;
 8

however, it can also be said that initiative was the way into a 'moderate' authoritative culture,
preparing for an effective association.

The impact of topic on organisation:

Simultaneously, as previously demonstrated, the various levels of authority have aided Emirates
in controlling various business challenges. A proper management perspective is a practical
methodology for assessing both internal and external business challenges within the organisation.
The administration is responsible for the organization's practicality, thriving, and global
presence.

As previously stated, Emirates has adopted hierarchical initiative styles to ensure that obligations
and obligations are distributed appropriately to various situations within the organisation
(E.Smith, 2021). This corresponds to the parts of liability the board, which holds each worker
accountable for their own actions. Each administration group's agenda should include everything.

This aids in the coordination of business strategies, extension requirements, and responsibility
issues within the organisation. Specifically, the issue of helpless administration is an
uncontrollable marvel in various organizations. Emirates Airlines has approached this test with a
sense of oddity, fittingness, and believability in order to ensure that the organisation remains
serious in the domains of the board. Globalization, which has immersed the whole world and
requires every business to get new useful examples, esteem-based frameworks, and elevating
ways to deal with keep afloat watching out and in the worldwide spotlight, is an undeniable
external issue in this setting (THOMPSON, 2019). Emirates Airlines has sorted out some way to
push toward globalization while keeping up with the criticality, peculiarity, and fittingness
requested in the airplane business.

Its capacity to acknowledge current progressions, customer Center, and in general business
designs are adequate to legitimize this case. Its administration and drive have advanced toward
globalization moves with motivation to guarantee that the business stays significant and serious
in the overall market (Majd, 2019). Moreover, worker inspiration is a major wonder and a
monstrous internal test inside any association's workforce. Emirate's specialists have advanced
toward the issue by creating suitable work courses of action that guide in convincing delegates.
The pieces of good compensation, adaptable work plans, grouping resistance, boosts, execution
 9

insistence, and unpredictable evaluation are a piece of the exercises embraced by the board to
ensure that their representatives are persuaded, remain skilled, stay aware of importance, and
have the decision to work in any climate. Also, the plan of appropriate conclusive social orders
has upheld the objective of various internal and outside business challenges inside the affiliation.
The association has investigated and upheld a sensible moderate culture to assist with achieving
needed outcomes inside the affiliation (Wood, 2021).

Supplant the leaders:

Emirates' drive has centered around carrying out down to earth changes to the board's systems to
perceive excellent outcomes (Alzaabi, 2021). Change support is an essential basis for different
affiliations. Plainly, the association appreciated the particular (Idowu, 2016). In this manner, its
association bases on completing suitable pioneer progression frameworks to ensure the presence
of the best changes. The bosses' framework sees John Kotter's change the board standards from
starting to satisfaction. Kotter advocates for a really squeezing affirmation of the prerequisite for
ideal changes. This should cause the entire affiliation's accessories to grasp the substance and
that method for the implied change. He wraps up by solidifying the shift the bosses' directions of
activity into the affiliation's way of life. Emirates' organization and authority have seen the
pieces of progress as a step by step practice inside the affiliation. To push toward the challenges
of progress embracement with appropriateness, Emirate's bosses have taken on change support
resistance and culture inside its activities. This has ensured the business' dynamism, significance,
and fit with current business plans.

Best Leaders and leadership styles in Emirates Airline

It is important to see that manager in emirates airlines and any other UK-based organizations are
generally men. Still, there is an increase in the involvement of women in the Emirates. Being a huge
operative company in Dubai, it has several regional offices that mean there are many companies
management levels (Heiets, 2020). Under the leadership of Al Maktoum, the airline has grown from
a regional company to an international brand having a fleet of more than 200 aircraft. He has a
participatory leadership style, and there is an increased level of flexibility that he enjoys in his senior
role of management.
 10

Al Maktoum and his leadership styles have proven to be effective for the employees of the company.
There is no doubt that the leadership styles adopted by the leaders of the company directly impact the
performance of the employees. It is because these leaders give a pathway for the development of
policies and strategies for the company. These policies are the first effect on the employees, then on
end consumers. This means that these strategies and policies affect the working and performance of
the employees. Under the leadership of Al Maktoum, the company has seen immense growth in its
employees. This is more evident because of the performance of the employees. It has seen consistent
improvement under his leadership (Al-Madadha, 2021). This is because his leadership style has
influenced the formation of policies that have triggered beneficial growth in the performance of the
employees.

For what the employees do and perform, they are incentivized according to the levels of their
performance. The employees have been given increased support by the leaders and managers of the
departments. Some of the main areas of growth and benefits that leader of Emirates have focused
upon include benefits, incentives, performance rewards, and feedback (Siangchokyoo, 2020). Plus,
the leaders in each department have been told to create a culture of feedback and increased
corporation. In case of conflicts and miscommunication, the feedback culture developed helps
minimize conflicts and issues among the employees between managers and employees. The
performance of Emirates under the leadership of Al Maktoum has not remained very beneficial or
profitable.

The very dominant and reported reason for the losses reported by the company in the year 2021 is the
pandemic that led to the grounding of many local and international flights. The company has reported
a loss of AED 23 billion, the first loss reported in the past three decades. No doubt, this is because he
failed in training the managers in being more adaptable to the changes. Sudden changes have reshaped
the whole organization, but how challenges are faced and how companies are reshaped to deal with
these challenges matters (Graham, 2020). The appearance of the pandemic can be dated back to a
year and a half from now, but still, the company is facing revenue issues reporting losses. The
question is how these losses would become profits, how managers would plan a strategy to deal with
these changes, and managers of the individual department in the company plan to deal with challenges
faced by the employees at an individual level. One of the main facts is that the Emirates Group has
 11

an increased level of liquidity and has a healthy and very positive level of cash flow (Ceil, 2019).
Still, there is a need that strategies to be adopted that help in saving costs.

There is a need that costs to be reduced at this time. This is the main strategy adopted, as this will
help save the company's most valued employees. On the other hand, it has been seen that the
managers and the leaders have remained committed to remaining in close contact with the
employees, which has been helpful for the managers in knowing more about their needs and
issues that they face at work. To save costs, the employees have been prohibited from any
nonessential travel and have implemented work-from-home policies that can prove to be helpful
in any known business operations (Bipath, 2014).

Conclusion:

According to my experience leadership is a systematic procedure of social impact on a group of

people that maximizes their efforts and struggles to achieve an objective. Administrative leaders
emphasize the corporation and its persons. Leaders influence administrations or people by their
visualization, carefulness, and empathy, the idea of efficiency, precision and concentration on
their resolution making, information, and abilities, belief of equality and fairness, self-confidence
increasing, represents moralities and integrities to mention a few (Hamad, 2015). Emirates
Airlines is a globally recognized airline company. Because of key internal and external business
challenges, its administration and initiative have established, approved, and accepted various
methodologies. In this particular situation, there are a variety of issues that frequently arise
within the business and industry on the loose. This necessitates appropriate responses from the
administration.

Recommendations

It is suggested that Emirates Airlines' essential leadership places a premium on the variety of
their partners, particularly their customers, because the enhancement the board frameworks offer
excellent types of assistance and items to their customers through their prepared, intense, and
enthusiastic staffs and representatives (Julmi, 2017). If Emirates is to build on its recent
successes, the top management must do more to steer the company away from the inspiration
hypothesis, as well as the difficulties and opportunities that emerge in the market.
 12

It is recommended that the different specialists of Emirates should have the option to give better
offices than their customers in light of the fact that their dynamic headship has had the option to
unite a lot of people with assorted settings which is a compelling crew and an establishment of
force (Rezaei, 2018).

The arranged authority should do more to lead Emirates from the motivation model and
experiences and chances which show up in the market foundation as they have done in the most
up to date of the twenty-first in case they are to expand on their triumphs.

Part B
Reflection:
The experience of using the topic (leadership) was very useful to me. I learned a lot of things,
like good leaders have much in common, and most can adjust to the burdens of whatsoever
administrative tests they meet (Grealish, 2016). Frontrunners who are truly businesspersons,
outshine when a condition asks for comprehensive possession of a project or difficulty, become
more interested as ambiguity rises, and have an amazing aptitude to encourage others to monitor
their path of achievement. I came to know that both imagination and progress are intricate
marvels that are dependent on a wide range of logical and social influences. The initiative's task
is to propel ideas through the to some extent political cycles within the organisation that are
ordinarily too cumbersome to even consider survival. The intervening effect of view of help for
advancement helps with uncovering that it is a critical role of the pioneers to give both asset and
political help that can empower and persuade representatives to look for imaginative activities in
the working environment.

Different theories which I have used in my paper were very useful as well as the leadership
styles and different leaders which I selected were very helpful in doing business. I learned bundle
of things from different styles of leadership in the chosen company (Emirates Airlines). The
company leaders have adopted increased cleaning and disinfection measures as a precaution
against modern-day issues. Increased support has been provided to the front-line employees that
include the crew team and airport employees. The company managers have realized these are
more unprecedented times that call for the fact that the right thing is done for the employees and
the customers.
 13

The leadership style which I found interesting is participatory administration which is a

leadership style in which decisions are discussed with subordinates by their director prior to
execution. This management style aids in the formation of strong bonds between director and
worker (Rezaei, 2018). Participatory administration is similar to majority rule on a board,
allowing representatives to take on solid and dynamic roles. Following the implementation of
this administration, the organisation will gain more benefits and be able to reduce its expenses.
Emirates' administration includes representatives and various partners who participate in
decision-making. Emirate urged their employees to make their own plans to distinguish and
obtain authoritative objectives, to deal with issues, and to make other decisions that would
directly influence the organisation. Emirates' administration consults with their subordinates
before making a decision.
