optimum outputs. So it can be said that time management is very much potential for every
class of individual in potential manner.
What is the core skill to develop?
The another key skill that proved very much potential is team working, in the whole life an
individual have to work with differ kind of people that possess variation in their working
nature (Bubnys, 2019). In that regards coordinating with them proved essential element in

very obligatory to develop such skill in an individual so that can gain desirable outcomes.

activities are scheduling work, communicating with people, find the root cause of conflict and
delivering potentially tasks and duties to each and every individual so that they can give one
of their best efforts. (12 easy ways to improve workplace teamwork, 2020). in that regards by
using respective ways I can be able to gain the desirable outcomes out of them in potential
manner.
Can you identify any contradictions from your analysis above?
In team working skills I found some sort of contradictions that is primarily I analyze that I am
not able to allocate roles and responsibilities to each and every individual in proper manner
(Dlouhá and et.al., 2019). after that I found that people in proper manner acknowledge about
their responsibilities and give one of their best efforts in development of oneself and for
organization. So primarily I lose my confidence but after observing results I gain positive
insights from people potentially.

objectives. In that regards professionally it proved beneficial for an individual about their
work and way to persuade it in potential manner. it helps in allocating tasks and
responsibilities to each individual so that they can take interest in their work by gaining

potential remarks from their authorized individual.

read and write to understand in proper manner. by practicing again and again to write on
specified subject matter and then taking suggestions from people that helps me to improve in
respective skill potentially (McDonagh and et.al., 2019). By framing the checklist that possess
the no. of questions with day to day targets that need to access and rating in results regarding
its improvement helps me in gaining potential outcomes. After adopting respective steps I
can be able to demonstrate my skills in potential manner.
Can you identify any contradictions from your analysis above?

able to communicate in perfect manner. but while people not able to understand the gist that I
communicating with them create problem for me that adversely Impact on my performance.
