In today’s changes in the economy and social well-being, various leadership styles are being used, which are applied in the context of the processes of today’s globalization. Leadership has become a highly significant concept in the twenty-first-century context.

The article formulates tasks: to reveal the transformation of attitudes toward leadership by comparing the factors of different leadership styles that influence the team’s focus on achieving the sustainable goals set by the organization. The results of the paper show sustainability could be reached in the organization if the organization’s managers apply sustainable leadership practices.
