Global company executives are under a lot of strain, and it is a common problem that their leaders haven’t changed their leadership style to reflect the new level of ability and confidence of the executive. The Executives are stressed and worried about this because they frequently believe it harms their relationship with their Leader, their confidence, and their own brand inside the firm.
