Assessment 1
Leadership concept
From lecture, I increased understanding that leadership is the command to lead the team member
for accomplishing the particular goal as well as objectives. Moreover, it is assessed that
leadership is a process by which a person keeps the authority to manage the team members for
attaining the goal as well as the objective of the corporation (Lopez-Cabrales, Bornay-
Barrachina, and Diaz-Fernandez, 2017). It was also beneficial to me for developing my
leadership skill consequently I can apply my leadership skill in my professional as well as
personal career. During the course of leadership, it is analyzed that a leader is a person who is
followed by another person (Raelin, 2016). It is also determined that a leader can persuade and
influence the attitude and performance of others at the workplace (Roy and Abaid, 2016). As a
result, I am competent to build harmonization amongst member of team for attaining specified
goals as well as objectives.
Moreover, leadership initiatives have supportive for me to become a good leader as it has
developed my traits of personality. Leadership is a competency to influence others but, he may
be made or born (Cashman, 2017). Moreover, I learned that leader could be born or made. In
such condition, it is evaluated that trait of leader can exist from born or it could be built by
sufficient coaching and training. In addition, a leader cannot survive without the followers

(Sotarauta, 2016). In such case, I demonstrated that a leader has a specific foundation of
authority like formal authority, resources, personality trait, knowledge, and experience. It also
aids to influence the behavior of cohorts (Epitropaki, Martin, and Thomas, 2017). Consequently,
this understanding would be advantageous for me to improve my personal as well as professional
growth.
Leadership model and theories
Through the leadership course, I have developed my knowledge about distinct models and
theories like transactional and transformational leadership. I have applied both leadership
theories to train the workforces at the workplace by building the leadership understanding. After
analysis, I realized that my leadership strength and weaknesses are transparent and clear. As a
result, I could enhance my knowledge about leadership as well as can become successful leader
in the upcoming period. Further, my initiatives to accomplish the goal of leadership in long-term
is elegant, practical as well as quantifiable. I will apply my initiatives as a leader to complete the
objectives as well as goals in future. In addition, I could determinedly analyze my enhancement
through structuring the plan. From the course, I have developed my understanding about two
types of leadership style named transformational and transactional as I am able to use these
leadership styles in the future. In this way, it is assessed that transformational leadership enables
a leader to consider learning experience and team member culture (Drescher, Korsgaard, Welpe,
Picot, and Wigand, 2014). In addition, key purpose of transforming the precedence and value of
cohorts is to lead them to act away from their expectation (Breevaart, Bakker, Demerouti, and
Derks, 2016).
I have also built my experience my understanding of the transactional leadership that was
effective to me in order to apply it in the company. It is evaluated that transactional leadership
