Answer preview
Organizations have the obligation to act socially responsible in order to protect the interests of both external stakeholders and the corporations. Notably, this is one of the challenges many organization leaders encounter especially if they have developments in foreign countries. Organization leaders with developments in foreign countries face a number of obstacles regarding economic, cultural and political development. Stringent solutions to these challenges fall within the self-interest of most global organizations in which the ethical beliefs and values of their leaders come into play (Yukl, 2012). It is apparent that the leadership strategy that is adopted by most of the multinational corporations largely impacts the attitudes of their followers as well as the stakeholders. This can have a positive or negative influence in the organization’s image.
