Executive Summary
Leadership is a way of motivating and encouraging people with winning their heart. A
leader is generally leading a group of people or an organisation with an intention to
encourage people that organisational or team goals can easily be achieved. The leader
determines the success or failure of his/her followers or an organisation. A leader is not
always belongs to the top level of an organisation rather it also occurs from the lower level of
the organisation. This paper will help me to develop new leadership skills that are essential to
become a good leader in future. The development of plan is based on self-assessment and
evaluation result, which is derived from Gallup strength finder test and Big five personality
test of leadership. However, the leadership development plan is based on Boyatzis’
International Change Model that will help me to enhance my skills and knowledge in next
five years and that further help me to become a successful leader.

Introduction
A leader is a person who motivates and encourages other people towards the
organisational goal or objective. A leader not only motivates to achieve organisational goals
rather it encourages people for achieving their self-goals as well (Boyatzis & Cavanagh,
2018). Leadership is generally defined a key skill in a person to lead and motivate a group of
people or any organisation in comprehensive manner and enables the people to understand
their responsibility and accountability. However, leadership helps the people to move forward
towards their goals and ensure success in their life or for the organisation in which they work
(Conger, 2015). This report is based on my own leadership style, which is influenced by
many leadership models and theories. This report also includes the result of Gallup Strength
finder test that helped me to analyse my leadership skills. The result of the test was a
surprised for me because some of the leadership skills I have already known and some
outcomes of the result have surprised me. This report helps me to find out my strengths and
weakness of my leadership style. However, this report includes a development plan that will
help me to overcome my weakness and enhanced my leadership skills in future.
Challenges in my leadership Style
There are few challenges that I faced in my leadership style are as follow:
Building Team and Teamwork: As a pharmacy in-charge, I feel that building team
is one of the tough works and I feel difficulties in this work. Building team is a requirement
of effective team performance and success. However, lack of coordination, integration, and
support are the primary requirement to build an effective team.
Train and Educate colleagues: Educating people and staff about their roles and
responsibility is necessary for successful operation of any business (Lu & Hsiao, 2010).
However, I feel that I have faced many difficulties in handling people and educate them to do
the job. Sometimes people fail to perform their responsibility and avoid their accountability
from the work. In such a situation, educating people and staff is necessary for a leader to
ensure success of the organisation.
Relationship Building: Building relationship with pharmaceutical companies is
really a big challenge for a leader because it is really a challenging to maintain a good
relationship with people while competition is too high in the industry. Every competitor

provides more benefits and incentive packages to people to attract the talent. In such a
situation, managing relationship with employees and pharmaceutical companies is a difficult
task.
Development of Managerial Skills: The development of managerial skill is also
required for a leader to manage the people and observing their actions (Ardichvili,
NattochDag, & Manderscheid, 2016). I have already some managerial skills that helped me in
my life to perform lots of specific works but some skills needed to be polish to become a
good leader in future.
Gallup Strength Finder Test analysis and Summary
When I assessed my leadership style Gallup strength finder model, I found that I have
many positive skills of leadership that can help me to become a successful leader in future.
The findings of Gallup strength finder model are as follow:
Connectedness: This skill is required for a leader to connect with people and co-
operate them in their work. This skill generally required in a leader to work in a team (Denis,
Langley, & Sergi, 2012). This skill helps me to gain trust of people and it is more usual in my
life that I used to connect with people and understand them that what they want to say. This
skill helps to connect with people (Dugan & Komives, 2010). I am friendly with people and
usually my openness helps me to collaborate and communicate with people in easy way.
Analytical: This theme of the model shows my personal style of thinking. I believe in
practical approach to understand the concern rather than emotionally or heartily. I have
worked as a registered pharmacist and the experience I have gained from my past wok that
concentrating on facts is much better than thinking emotionally on the current situation.
Responsibility: A leader should be responsible and set standards for other so other
people can follow the leader (McKeown & Carey, 2015). After analysing my leadership
skills, I found that I am a responsible person and I always prefer to act in responsible manner
in every decision-making or action that I take in my life.
Includer: This trait helps me to accept people as a friend and co-operate them in the
work. This skill is inbuilt in my personality and I have found that I always accept people in
my work. I love to connect people and accept their opinion for the successful achievement of
my goals or team goals. I feel comfortable in multicultural team and the best example of it is
assignment preparation when a group people work together to accomplish a project.
