1COMPETING VALUES FRAMEWORK: TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY
I used the competing values framework of Quinn et al. (2014) for self-assessment as it is
a tool that can provide multi-dimensional picture of my leadership capabilities and competencies.
It provides an essential picture of my essential skills and the areas of improvement.
As a leader in a tourism and hospitality the competing values framework shows that the
spiderweb is not evenly distributed. This points to the fact that there are various areas that need
to be improved. From the analysis of the spiderweb it is quite clear that my essential strengths in
leadership lies in the areas of collaborate, control and compete. However, the main issue that can
be identified is in the quadrant of create. This is the quadrant that is actually causing the entire
spiderweb to be irregular. Hence, with regards to my role as a manager I would require to nurture
more innovation in my team and take up more innovative approaches as an individual. In this
sector there is very much requirements for man management skills. The manager also has to be
responsible for the issues that are faced by the team. This is the reason for which I tend to use the
human resource model more. This model helps to keep the employees satisfied and motivated at
the same time (Megeirhi et al. 2018). However, as I was able to understand from the competing
values framework I would require to be more innovative in my approaches to be in perfect
balance. Being non innovative can be a significant area of weakness if not rectified in the long
run. In order to be in the industry better communication is required (Jaiswal and Dhar 2015).
Innovation can be applied to enhance the same.
In conclusion, I believe I have the potential to make all the quadrants equal in my
spiderweb. I will like to continue with my people oriented attitudes and enhance the prospects of
becoming an optimally efficient leader in the future.
