Result
I will analyze the leader’s strengths using the Gallup’s tool analysis. I have used my
leadership abilities to strengthen and impact on individuals in my workplace. Throughout my
leadership journey, I have been able to grow both as an individual and a team player.
Interpretation or discussion
Indeed, interaction with other leaders has enabled me to learn positive and negative
approaches to undertake within my surroundings having learnt from others my social
observation skills of effective and ineffective leaders around has improved. I have had a task
of self-reflection by analyzing my past experience individually to guide my future behavior
and actions. Being accountable and responsible is a key quality that has enabled me to
understand how to use power and authority appropriately without burdening my employees.

LEADERSHIP
Through this development, I have had to grow thick skin in order to cope and pass
through tough time s without a break down. Additionally, persistence and toughness has been
embraced in my journey. As a young leader, I have faced many challenging situations that
required mental toughness and persistence (Khan, 2016).
Implication for future
As a young leader I have been perceived by my employees to be tough and
empathetic though some might not like the way I govern, my actions direct me to become a
great leader in future.i have had the opportunity to create long lasting relationship with some
of my colleagues and employees, which enables me as a leader not only inspire my team to
follow but also motivate them to strive wholeheartedly to achieve the organization’s goals
(Oreg, & Berson, 2015).
All great leaders have a unique strength or talent that differentiates them from others.
I personally don’t compare myself to others although I don’t mind approaching those that
intimidate and inspire me. I took the chance to venture into further studies which will boost
my knowledge and skill sets to manage with the modern business.
Conclusion
As a leader I have come to realize leadership is a mindset and attitude towards
achieving a particular goal. Gallup’s tools of analysis helps us to determine the type of leader
and the leadership ability. I have tried to balance the respect and dissenting voices from
employees in order to avoid any surprises such as strikes have recently began a forum with
my employees and colleagues to bring out positive values which will help the company
growth (Zhang, 2014).
