CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background of the Research

The Middle East banking industry is facing major leadership challenges. I will be going to conduct a research study in which those challenges will be discussed and the reasons behind those challenges will be analysed and discussed.

Leadership can be defined as the process in which a person for accomplishing organizational goals and objectives influences others. The leader (cause) motivates someone else to act (effect). The cause to act might emerge in a number of different ways. When a good leader can identify the potential of people around him and inspire them to take on those tough challenges. According to the researcher the company leaders should look for top employees who show qualities associated with success, like good communication skills, demonstrated leadership talent, and a willingness to make sacrifices for the sake of the organization (Peters 2005, 15).
