Task 1: Introduction and Strategic leadership Purpose
Leadership is an ability that comes after the responsibility of work or task in person or leader.
Being able to lead within the organization makes you a decent leader, but the most important
quality is having leadership abilities that fundamentally alter the organizational structure and
behavior. Since strategic leaders are responsible for a wide range of stakeholders, it's critical
to gauge their effectiveness and influence in relation to the values they foster for each group
(Coursehero, 2022).
Task 2: Historical Perspective of Strategic leadership in the organization
Strategic leaders are valuable assets to the organization. Honesty, responsibility, duty
allocation, adaptability, and time management are distinctive qualities of a strategic leader.
When we look at its historical context, we see that it began in the 1950s, when notable leaders
like Peter Drucker, Alfred Chandler, and Igor Ansoff arrived. Both as leaders and as strategists,
they excelled. Most businesses have leaders, but few have strategists. Only 8% of people,
according to a PwC case study, are strategic leaders. For the business, this is a very complicated
issue and a cause for concern.
Task 3: Strategic leadership within the fold of corporate governance in the UK firms
Strategic leaders are accountable for the formulation and implementation of strategies within
the organization. Strategic leaders must have the skills of good governance. These skills are
transparency, honesty, trust, and inclined toward role and responsibility. Managing conflict
among subordinates and superiors is an excellent governance skill Ready to identify key
stakeholders who are accountable for decision-making and ethical practices. The UK has an
influential model of corporate governance which is imitated by many European countries.
Executives are less logical than strategists at the leadership level. With conventional
leadership, top management develops a plan, and middle management is prepared to
analyze it constructively.

The traditional employment pyramid model shows a hierarchy with the CEO at the top,
presidents at the second level, vice presidents at the third level, middle management at the
fourth level, team leaders and supervisors at the fifth level, and entry-level workers at the
very bottom (typically with very little opportunity for upward progression). This paradigm
has been a structural norm in many businesses and organizations for a long time (Cait Flood,
2021).

Task 8: Conclusion: Based on the above discussion, we can conclude that strategic leaders
play a major role in finding the goal of UK organizations. These leaders are the backbone of
the company in terms of performance and productivity. Leadership brings huge
accountability, decision making ability and keeping cultural values in the organization.
