INTRODUCTION
The study aim to analyse the critical and ethical leadership which aid value in providing
suitable assistance to the business in enhancing their operations and production. Therefore,
leadership is all about termed as the form of leadership where individual demonstrate the
execution of the common good which is acceptable and appropriate in every area of their life.
(Duan, Liu and Che, 2018). The construction businesses mainly execute the building and
infrastructure work, therefore, if something is on the drawing sheet they make it actual by
constructing it for an amount on which both the client and business are agree. The chosen
business for this analysis is Bechtel. This is an American engineering procurement, construction
and the project management business which was founded in the year of 1906 by the efforts of
Warren A. Bechtel. The headquarter of the firm is in Reston, Virginia, United State. The firm is
committed for carrying out business practices in transparent addition to an ethical ways by
adhering effective corporate governance. Key focus of the car organisation is to make the
enterprise a sustainable luxury venture with the help of promotion responsibility together with
sustainable economic developments.
My target job in this industry is to work in construction business of a top repopulated
brand as a construction manager whose main role and responsibility is to manage production of
buildings as well as manage workforce working in construction department. It is determined that
construction manager of a construction business such as Bechtel is required to be a creative ad
ethical leader as well who can not only lead rather also motivate employees working under them
in manufacturing department so that production of cars can be increased.
Leadership is an art of motivating a group of people so that they can work together in
order to achieve a common goal and objective (Liu and et. al., 2020). In car factory, it is
extremely important for production manager to be effective, creative and ethical leaders so that
they can motivate their workforce in order to increase production and high- quality cars can be
manufacturers as per the needs and demand of end target customers. This project will lay
emphasis upon importance of creative and ethical leadership in car factory and skills required by
production managers working in car factories in order to become creative and ethical leaders.
RESEARCH METHOD FOR 360 DEGREE
There are two main types of data collection methods that can be used for 360- degree
appraisal, that are: primary and secondary data collection methods. Secondary data is a data that
1

has already been published and can be collected from magazines, journals, government updates,
websites etc. Whereas primary data is a kind of data which is collected for the first time with the
help of survey, questionnaire, focus group and by many other techniques (Shapiro and
Stefkovich, 2016). Research method that will be used for 360- degree appraisal is primary data
collection method in which questionnaire will be used for data collection. There are various
methods with the help of which questionnaire can be filled some of the main methods used for
filling questionnaire are as follows: questionnaire filled by oneself, Psychometric test results
which is done online for evolution of one’s own skill set, questionnaire filled by peer or
classmates, filled by supervisor, customers, asking for formative feedback from tutors and many
more. Using one of these methods for questionnaire appropriate feedback can be collected so that
evaluation of one’s own skill can be done. Questionnaire will be consisting of few questions that
will be answered by us in order to identify skills required to become a creative and ethical leader
in production managers and will further help in identify current skills present and skills that are
required to be developed. This questionnaire for 360- degree appraisal will be filled by me and
my co-worker so that I can identify and evaluation my own qualities and skill set in Aston
martin. Other than this, for this project and evaluation of skills induction method which is used
for asserting truth of general preposition by considering a particular care that support it. So,
using questionnaire, skills required to be developed within production manager for becoming an
effective, creative and ethical leader will be identified. Induction method is basically used for
building theory so it can be used for developing theory for identification of opportunities for
production manager and skills required to become an ethical leader.
