In the wake of globalisation, business are more susceptible to financial, legal, political, environmental, social and economic crises due to external and internal forces within and outside companies. The main objective of the research paper was to critically analyse the statement ‘Leadership & decision making in crisis in the global era: how leadership nowadays can encourage the development of business?’. An overview of leadership and decision making models applied in organizations are presented outlining challenges and issues that hinder business development. The study explores on the issues that might cause crisis in organizations and make leaders' decision making process more difficult.
