ABSTRACT: In an increasingly complex and fast-paced business environment, organisations must navigate constant change, technological disruption, and shifting customer expectations. Traditional leadership models, which often focus on hierarchy, control, and long-term planning, struggle to keep pace with these challenges. These traditional models are often insufficient or ill-equipped to drive organisational success. Agile leadership, characterised by adaptability, collaboration, empowerment, and continuous learning, has emerged as a critical approach for organisations to remain competitive and innovative. This paper positions agile leadership as necessary for organisational success. The discussion shows how agile leadership enables faster decision-making, fosters a culture of innovation, and enhances employee engagement. By empowering teams to operate with greater autonomy and embrace change, agile leadership helps organisations respond rapidly to shifting market demands and technological advancements. Additionally, this leadership style supports the development of customer-centric strategies that are essential in maintaining relevance in competitive markets. Through real-world examples and a proposed conceptual framework, this paper demonstrates that agile leadership is not only beneficial but essential for organisations seeking long-term sustainability and success in a dynamic global landscape.

This study investigates how support from the government and advancements in technology influence the competitiveness of small manufacturers on a global scale. Objective: To evaluate the role of governmental support and technological innovations in enhancing the international competitiveness of small manufacturers and to propose strategies for strengthening their market position abroad.

Data analysis, conducted using Jamovi software, integrates insights from both data types to assess the impact of government policies and technological advancements. Results: Findings reveal that government support, including financial incentives and regulatory reforms, significantly aids small manufacturers in scaling operations and cutting costs. Technological innovation enhances production efficiency and product quality, helping manufacturers meet international standards and adapt to global market demands. Conclusion: The study identifies key areas where optimizing government support and technological adoption can boost global competitiveness. It recommends that policymakers and manufacturers leverage these factors better to strengthen their international market position.
