leadership must adapt to new challenges in order to meet the needs of

intellect and emotion, and the ability to incorporate new and existing
leaderhip styles. A Holistic and humanistic values-based leadership model meets these evolving needs, ensuring that the leader is respected, followed, and also trusted during the country's most demanding missions.
