Leadership in organization is a very important trend as the leader has a large amount of responsibility to lead the direction and build a good organizational culture that expresses the behaviors, rules and values critical to the attainment of an organization's mission and strategies. Leaders who carry good leadership characteristics will benefit the organization and become an icon within the team. Tony Fernandes is a CEO of AirAsia. His leadership style can be varied depending on the situation. Sometimes he used an autocratic leadership style. For example, he wanted to install a mechanism for handicapped people at zero cost. He did not make any discussion with anyone. Thus, he adopts a 'walk around' management style. At the same time, Fernandes believes that employees come first before his customers. He also says that "employees come number one, customers come number two'. He thinks if you have a happy workforce they'll look after your customers anyway. Based on this, he also used a democratic style. Tony also is a situational leader. He makes decisions based on the urgent state of that current moment. It may not be something that he likes but he makes the decision because the situation forces him to train his leadership behavior. He also works as a charismatic CEO. His favorite phrase is 'better value'. If Tony becomes able to own the concept outright then he wants it. The above situations suggest that being a leader, you should be a very creative leader.
