MAIN BODY
Reflecting leadership theory to own professional experience:
Leadership is one of the most important term for every learner, this simply means
becoming effective in the workplace using leadership style to manage other people in the firm.
Leadership help individual to lead team and drive success in the organization, it is very clear that
without leader, team can not achieve stability as there will be no one providing clear direction to
the team to achieve intended goals (Daniëls, Hondeghem and Dochy, 2019). I carry experience
of working as leader in the workplace, I know the importance of using leadership style to
manage other people and mainly to work in a team to achieve intended goals. Using
transformational leadership style, I was managed workplace by including other people in
decision-making process, I believe, a great leader not only listen to their follower rather they try
to include followers in important area like decision-making where employee share their thoughts
and viewpoint allowing them to become effective in the workplace.
Transformational leadership theory: This is one of the most common but important term in
the business where leaders try to become transformational, this simply means they will try to
include followers in decision-making process. It is very clear that transformational leadership
allow firm to gain internal stability, I was focusing on this leadership style to manage followers
and their involvement in the management process (Bass and Riggio, 2016). I believe using
characteristic of transformational leadership, it was easy to work in team and manage viewpoint
of team member, these characteristic are:

 Collaboration: This is one of the most common but important characteristic of
transformational leader which allow leaders to collaborate with followers and perform
certain task. It is very clear that this leadership style want leaders to create good relations
with people, leaders have to listen to their followers and act accordingly (Buil, Martínez
and Matute, 2019). I believe, this leadership style is best because it helped me to manage
team effectively, I try to listen and understand viewpoint of team and complete my task.
At first, working in team was challenging for me, collaboration was challenge because I
carry no experience of working and leading an team but after understanding
transformational leadership style, I become confident in team building and leading.
 Communicative: Every leader is communicative who have power to convince people and
drive them towards success, it is very clear that transformational leaders try to
communicate with followers and include their thoughts in decision-making process
(Gandolfi and Stone, 2018). I try to communicate with team and resolve any issue that
impact their performance, I believe communication does matter when it comes to
managing people. I used to effectively communicate with team in the workplace.
However, transformational leaders not only communicate their thoughts, they try to
communicate their vision as well.
Reflection is about reflecting back on the experiences and to learn from the mistakes, it
helps in improving one self, for an instance if one has made mistake in their past then in the
future they can refer their experience (Laranjeira, Afonso and Querido, 2021). It helps in not
making mistake again and often helps in delivering the better outcomes. I am very dedicated
towards my work, I have always developed a curiosity in me to do something new and to explore
the things which helps me to grow further. I have always been attentive to the class always ready
to do any kind of assignments and project work that helps me to groom my knowledge.
Gibbs reflection
It is developed by the Graham Gibbs, according to the Wilson and Miller, (2018) this
model is made with the purpose of providing the structure that is about to learn from the
experiences. Gibbs model of reflection popular cyclic models which comprises of the elements
that are description, feeling, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan. All its factors help
in describing the experience which one have gone through.
