DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP
Introduction
Leadership plays the most significant role in driving an organisation towards success.
The most effective leadership traits determine the structured business functionalities that help
other employees to develop their professional and personal goals while accomplishing the
business goals (Breevaart et al., 2016). I am working as a team leader in a small-sized consulting
firm. In order to make progress in my career goals, I have undergone a self evaluation process in
which I have identified some of the specific areas that need more improvements. In this study, I
would prepare a personal development plan to ensure the progress in some of my behavioral
traits as a leader. I shall draw a complete reflection on these specific traits to increase the self
awareness by thinking deeper about my values and their influences on my career goals. I shall
also identify the critical gap between the current capabilities and the values as well as leadership
aspirations. Furthermore, I shall identify the influences of the national and organisational
cultures based on the future implications that can develop my leadership skills. Obtaining
knowledge from the suggestive theories and models, I shall establish a structured development
plan in this study.

The personal development plan for achieving some of the necessary traits is established
