feedback in systematic and informative manner to focus in the better development. Having a
documented process and self-directed are also the key characteristics of a good-practice CPD

1.4 Reflect on taken responsibility
I had taken responsibility to present a group presentations and project on a selected topic
and during this project I am having the responsibility of team building and effective data
collection. I had faced many difficult and issues in proper delegation of role and responsibility
among the group members along with setting effective communication and coordination among
team members. Apart from this, lack of information about collection of data based on
management topic has been also faced. But still, I focused on maintaining a positive and ethic
atmosphere among all the team members where view point and opinion of all was effectively
discussed and valued. A scene of engagement, value and respect are the core aspect of my group
and we worked in efficient and ethical manner to meet the set goal and provided responsibility.
2.4 Reflect on approach to working inclusively and building positive working relationships
with others
Open communication and participative leadership style are the two core approach that has
been adopted and implicate by me to ensure a positive and inclusively working relationship. It
has been seen that having open communication and regular feedback create a sense of value and
respect on team members and colleagues as they have a platform where there issues and problem
are being discussed and solved. Further, participative leadership style also ensures proper
involvement of all employees and group members to have positive and inclusively working
based on view point and creativity of all.
3.4 Reflect on the impact of continuing professional development
The CPD that has been deign by me is having a positive and vital impact on my own
behaviour and performance level as it supported development of improved leadership skill that is
vital and important to effectively direct and influence others. Along with this, leadership style is
vital and important to manage the human resources and lead a positive working environment.
Along with this, having commercial awareness is also supporting higher job opportunity and
employability level through leading awareness about all latest trends and current siution
prevailing within the managements flied that support positive behaviour and improved
performance.
