a big hurdle for achieving a similar goal. Various views and opinions of group members could
indirectly affect the attained result but at the same time, I have also analysed that brainstorming
method could be imperative for achieving the organizational goal. I take initiatives for
eliminating this difficulty by conducting the meeting and conclude them in the managerial
activities.

Gallup’s strength finder analysis
Gallup’s strength finder analysis method was aided to me to comprehend my skills of leadership
(Dinh, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden, & Hu, 2014). Therefore, I used this method and make a
reliable and valid conclusion. With respect to increasing understanding towards leadership skills
and improve it by implying the same tool. This tool could be effective for identifying essential
strength and enhance my existing skills (Tyssen, Wald, & Spieth, 2014). This test was

evaluated a leader could be direct by the example. This characteristic could be effective for
leading my group member in a limited time. This test was imperative for making a strategic plan.
It would lead to getting a feasible result.
Feedback from others

to arrive at a reliable conclusion. Through a section of self-reflection, I involve feedback of my
senior, group members, fathers, and my life partners in order to attain the aim and objectives of
the research issues. Moreover, it is assessed that feedback can be significant for analyzing my
weaknesses and improves my strength in order to obtain feasible results. In addition, my life
partner defines that I have good communication proficiency. My partner opines that I am a self-
reliant person that was a favourable feedback for me. By getting this, I was competent to
encourage my members of the team. My parents stated that I have strong competency and once I
have set a target for myself then there is no opportunity unturned to attain it. My team leader
stated me that I always create a favourable atmosphere within my team that generates open
argument on allocated tasks. Along with this, it is assessed that I also get unfavourable
atmosphere as well. My father opined that I may learn the art of saying no to others. It can be
beneficial to attain the targeted objective in the minimum period. It is beneficial that a team
leader is competent to perform the responsibilities to the extent that can be attained in a
systematic way. I would boldly work on this concept. Moreover, it is assessed that my team
member told me that sometimes I faced a high level of stress in order to attain the goal. It is
analyzed that I used feedback technique and gathers perception and opinion of others in order to

Dynamic Leadership 10
obtain an authentic result. I get feedback from all sources in order to enhance my competencies
hence this could be beneficial to create energy to the team members and leads their urges to
attain their goal in minimum time. There is a different factor for enhancement (Obolensky,
2017). I should also focus on my interpersonal skills in order to arrive at a valid and reliable
conclusion. I also need to improve my skills related to time management in order to develop a
balance between personal and professional career.
Implication of reflection
During this course, I obtained different feedbacks that were highly uncontrollable. Furthermore, I
also improved my behaviour in depth. It may lead to develop a positive judgment in diverse
circumstances and gain chances of obtaining favourable results. I decided to focus on my
weakness to attain my targeted objectives and arrive at the reliable assumption. I also emphasize
on how I attain the team goal with teamwork. In addition, I also practiced extraordinarily high
purposes as a tool to motivate my team members (Swanson, & Frederick, 2016).
In addition, it is assessed that when this strategy would be implemented into the team members
and it affected the productivity of workforces, in this case, I would reject this strategy. I also
decided six months of the time period for enhancing my weaknesses and attain my objective
significantly. Further, the main cause of selecting this time phase is that I was aware that this
time period is suitable for effectively improving my leadership skills. I also tried to entail my
team member in the group before making the last decisions. I will make a contribution to become
confident and arrange my efforts in a methodological manner. A leader can be competent in
controlling time significantly together with my responsibility to create a positive decision
(Pearce, & Wassenaar, 2014). Through the use of feedback, I learned different things and
enhanced my competencies (Tepper, Dimotakis, Lambert, Koopman, Matta, Man Park, & Goo,

Dynamic Leadership 11
2018). It was an extremely significant professional. In addition, I also increased my knowledge
about the Maslow’s hierarchy need of a theory that involves different techniques to encourage
group members and creates a reliable judgment (Rothaermel, 2015). My sources of motivation
come by self-esteem attainment (Tucker & Lam, 2014).
Conclusion
As per the above discussion, it can be concluded that appropriate selection of leadership style
could lead to the leader for developing a profitable organization and reliable judgment.
Moreover, a leader can have different responsibilities that can be related to the task of an
organization. A team leader may be skilled executives, friend, mentor, group members, and
guide. In addition, the fields of responsibilities of any leader can be wider as compared to the
executives. Therefore, it is always been significant for me in terms of becoming demonstrating
and a good leader.
