Reflection

From my section, I observed that leadership is a way of leading to the specified person to meet specified aim and objectives. Further, I obtain many opportunities because of my suitable leadership skills. These kinds of opportunities could be imperative for reshaping my life (Bolden, 2011).  Moreover, it is evaluated that the leadership skills facilitates me conduct suitable behaviour with others. Moreover, it is examined that a leader could face many issues at the time of leading team members.  A leader could need to improve their many skills with respect to the leadership to attain aim and objectives. Moreover, team leader has a crucial role in making a different image of the organization in the marketplace (Eisenhardt & Martin, 2000).  Moreover, it is evaluated that as a leader I was accountable for making a trust between workforces and reach the valid conclusion.  Moreover, I worked in the communication department wherein I taught many things related to leadership. I performed my duty as a team leader in the group sometimes that was very complicated for me. Currently, I direct ten number of people to reach a reliable conclusion. I faced many problems at the time of leading my group member to reach at the valid conclusion (Erkutlu, 2012).  Nowadays, I observed that each member of the team is free to share anything to me that was very effective for making a reliable relationship with others. I was not capable to comprehend the issues of others that as very typical for me to retain my group member as well making a relationship with others.  Hence, I started to conduct a small meeting with my employees and consider them in the decision-making making. It was very effective for improving my communication skills and relationship with my teammates (Fausing, Jeppe Jeppesen, Jønsson, Lewandowski, & Bligh, 2013).  Through this method, I was also able to spend my time for my group members as it was imperative to deal with employee’s conflicts and making a realistic decision. In this journey, I taught many things related to the leadership that was supportive to accomplish my task and making a huge amount of profit. Moreover, I practised the democratic leadership style for leading my team members and reach them at a reliable place whether they deserve. For the accomplishment of the desired goal in limited time, I think to make weekly and monthly target for my group members. I thought that weekly target could remind to the actuality of the employee performance but after sometimes I realized that my team members are confronted form pressure and stress due to nit achieving their target. Hence, I stop to imply the weekly plan for my team mates for reducing their short-term stress. For eliminating the employee stress, I practised monthly target that was effective for both employees as well as the organization (Foti, Hansbrough, Epitropaki, & Coyle, 2017). Moreover, it is examined that feedback is effective for a tool for the success of the team as it facilitates to collect the opinion and views of others towards our shortcomings. Moreover, my team use 360-degree feedback method that was imperative for me to eliminate the organizational issues and meet a reliable conclusion. 360-degree feedback method is emphasized to collect the opinion of senior managers towards performance. From the application of this method, each employee is accountable for giving their real feedback towards the group members to decline their shortcomings. This technique was significant for me because it facilitates to make transparency in the team and enhanced each member of the employee (Roy & Abaid, 2016). Due to the part of the communication team department, I realized that communication is an imperative tool for solving any issue in the least time. It could increase the probabilities of success in the marketplace. I used open communication to decline the issues of conflict form the organization. From the use of open meeting, I was capable to work on each individual shortcoming and strength that was effective for increasing possibilities of getting higher profit. Furthermore, it directs to enhance trust between the teammates. In this section, I was able to enhance my leadership capabilities to get a favourable outcome. I requested to my executives to give their proper opinion and improve their skills of leadership in an appropriate way.  

Gallup’s strength finder

This tool is emphasized in identifying the weakness by reacting to the series of questions (Russell, 2014).  I get a result with respect to my personality. Hence, I observed that this method assist me to develop a leadership plan and accomplish my organizational task. As per Gallup’s test, it is illustrated that the main purpose of using this method is that as it assists to identify the major strengths of mine. I was always accountable for management in the group hence I was performed as a responsible individual persona to reach the reliable conclusion. Moreover, I read many books and magazine related to the leadership as it was crucial for improving suitable behaviour and accomplishes any task. I analysed that the communication method is an imperative tool to make a long-term relationship with their shareholders. Therefore, I tried to become open-minded and being transparent to my group members to accomplish my task. It is evaluated that this kind of culture could be effective for making confident to the employee to the accomplishment of their goal (Dinh, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden, & Hu, 2014).  Moreover, it is evaluated that the comfortable atmosphere could also be imperative to sustain one place hence I made the very friendly atmosphere in the working place to easily convey to others towards their goal. On behalf of Gallup’s test, I am very recuperative. This ability facilitated me to make a favourable decision in the context of the existing situation. As a team leader, I was accountable for directly conversing with my team. I comprehend many issues that frequently occurred in the group and work on the same. Further, it is evaluated that crisis in the organization could be sudden that could directly impact on the overall situation of the firm. It is evaluated that effective communication could be imperative for managing the working place issues. In addition, it is examined that open communication could lead the employee to directly share their issues with their team leader and make an effective relationship with others. Through this test, I observed that I focused on making the solution rather than discussing of issues that were imperative to assist to reach a suitable place. It could be imperative for keeping shareholders satisfaction and enhancing the trust level. From this test, I am very optimistic that is effective to learn more in a suitable way. Thus, it is evaluated that this characteristic supported me to learn many things that could be imperative for getting a realistic result (Khan & Adnan, 2014).                                                   

Leadership Development Plan

The leadership plan could be imperative to determine my strength, weakness and leadership abilities that could play an imperative role in enhancing the skills of leadership. This plan could be imperative in the accomplishment of long-term and short-term goal. I observed that the leadership development plan could be imperative for examining my shortcomings. Moreover, I practised the Whittman GROW and Boyatzis Intentional Change models model could be used by the leader to complete the same. From the application of this model, I was capable to make the goal for my specified members of the group and make a favourable decision. The primary purpose of practising this model is that it only focusing on the determine goals but also supports to determine the action plan for making a reliable decision in the context of my shortcoming. It would also lead me to make a higher profit (Koryak, Mole, Lockett, Hayton, Ucbasaran, D., & Hodgkinson, 2015).                            

Goal setting (G):

With the support of my team member, I make a long-term and short-term plan for us. I made my goals for the next 9 months and assure each one to perform well for accomplishing their task. At the end of 9 months, we make a plan to expand our team for accomplishing the task and get a higher result. I increased the responsibilities of each employee due to increasing their strength. As a team leader, I was accountable for gaining my understanding of many factors named customer relationship management, marketing, hardcore sales, and public relations. Moreover, we decided to be a self-sustaining team in the next 5 months. Furthermore, I was very confident towards my every activity due to a higher position in the group. It was very craziest thing for me that I play a leadership role in the organization. I analysed that different leaders have used different leadership style because of their convenience and characteristics that could be a major task for the organization as the leadership style could directly impact the organizational preference. Further, the stability of the motivation level in the working place could also be a major task of the organization to meet their organizational task (Lopez-Cabrales, Bornay-Barrachina, & Diaz-Fernandez, 2017).                   

Reality (R):

I directed five employees or the group to accomplish the same goal. It is difficult for me to comprehend each stage of the accomplishment of the goal. In the organization, I worked as the leader in the communication department that was new for me as it was accountable for each activity that hampered me towards the accomplishment of team goal (Nonaka, Kodama, Hirose, & Kohlbacher, 2014).  My team was not well defined hence it becomes a very complicated task to reach a reliable conclusion. It is also examined that each member of the team gave their best efforts to the accomplishment of the goal. Moreover, we accomplish our goal that was a very happier movement of our lives. Thus, I planned to expand the growth and obtain higher profit as it could mandate to me to increase the target of my team members. It is also compulsory for us to gain our understanding and existing knowledge in the context of the current issue. It would also be imperative for the researcher to get a favourable result (Obolensky, 2017).  Moreover, I need to inspire my team members to perform well in the working place and reach a reliable conclusion. I was very attached to my senior hence they suggested me to imply democratic leadership style in their personal. Furthermore, my group member recommended me to stay in touch with each other to make favourable relations             

Goal Setting

Obstacles (O):

The promotion of leadership could be major obstacles for the firm (Renko, El Tarabishy, Carsrud, & Brännback, 2015).  Moreover, it is also evaluated that a company could choose top management business schools in which organization could consider those consumers who have suitable behaviour with respect to the leadership qualities (McCleskey, 2014).  Thus, I also realized that in need to focus my skills improvement and address ways by which my team could get higher competitive benefits (Pearce & Wassenaar, 2014).  I also observed that the communication department new in the organization hence each one is confronted form the vital issues that were very typical for each one to survive in the department and meet the same goal (Antonakis, & Day, 2017).  Initially, I was not aware of the roles and responsibilities for teaching members of a group that was stressful for me. But, after sometimes, I do research on the same and could capable to comprehend how the team will work and how they will achieve their target. Apart from that, it is also evaluated that the leaders should have a distinct personality as well characteristics that I have also which makes me positive and feel different firm others (Rothaermel, 2015). I always work on doing something in a unique way that makes me creative as well as my team members. It was effective to meet my targeted goal. It is evaluated that sometimes the decision of anybody or leader could create conflict that could directly impact on the overall situation or financial performance of the firm. Thus, it is examined that such kinds of problems could create decline possibilities of getting a positive response (Wolfgramm, Flynn-Coleman, & Conroy, 2015).  

The way forward (W):

In this way, I was capable to comprehend the methods that could be imperative for declining occurrence of state obstacles at the time of goal achievements. I also assured to my team member that we have all the required resources to give their best efforts to the accomplishment of the specified goal. I have decided to meet my goal in the next 9 months to make a reliable decision. Moreover, it is also evaluated that the motivation level could be an imperative part of success hence I always focused on it (Tyssen, Wald, & Spieth, 2014).  I would give my best efforts for my team members that were effective for accomplishing the task in the least time. I will account for each activity that will be accomplished in the team (Swanson, & Frederick, 2016). I would also meet different personality of people and read many cases to solve the diversity and cultural issues form the group. I motivate each employee of the team to make a reliable decision in the context of management issues. I determined 2 years of time frame for improving my leadership skills and become a successful leader in future. I observed that 2 years of the time period could be effective for deeply comprehend my shortcomings and eliminate by using many techniques. I read many articles, books, and magazine about the leadership and gain my existing understanding of the same It was also effective for improving my professional and personal life in a systematic manner. I would follow to Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to comprehend their experience and learning’s in-depth and observed what we need to in the same situation. I also concentrate on enlarging to my skills and experience for effectively leading to my team members and reach the reliable conclusion. I will address the opportunities of learning’s to improve my skills and encourage me to perform in a different department and get a positive response (Tepper, Dimotakis, Lambert, Koopman, Matta, Man Park, & Goo, 2018).  I will be liable for the performance of my team hence I always tried to use best at the time of accomplishment of the organizational goal. I also used offline and online sources to increase specialization in many sectors and effectively leading with the diverse culture of people. I would enrol myself in three workshops to improve my leadership skills and sustain my position in the organization for long-term. I would attempt to found may methods and be aware to the team members towards the information of workshops and gain their skills and proficiencies to perform any task in a systematic way (Tucker & Lam, 2014).
