a) There were a bunch of issues that I personally am facing as being designated to the
post of an HR manager. The issues and the ways through which I am on the journey
of development of these aspects in particular are as follows:
 Project management techniques- I faced major issues in managing the
projects that my department in particular was in charge of handling. This was
because I could not assign the particular projects to the desired and most
relevant person, and also there was difficulty in understanding for me as well
as the employees (Radujkovic. and Sjekavica., 2017). So, I worked on the
activities that would support me in developing the project management skills.
Firstly, I worked on prioritizing the tasks according to their importance. I did
this through major resources like referring to the clear and precise accounting
records of the company due to which I understood what was more necessary
for the company at a particular period of time. And also the efficient and
proficient human resource of the company helped in developing these skills.
 Problem solving techniques- The team that I was managing was facing many
issues regarding the conflicts and issues and they were obviously inclining on
me as I was their superior (Menkel-Meadow. Schneider. and Love., 2020).
But I was not able to resolve those issues because the lack of my problem
solving techniques. I started to work upon personality understanding so that I
could relate to each and every employee on a personal level and through that
be able to resolve the conflicts accordingly. I did this by reading personality
understanding guides and different E-books. It obviously is little time
consuming as u have to search for the most precise content, but slowly it did
show results and there were less conflicts made big in the team.
 Leadership skills- Due to lack of leadership skills I was not able to lead all the
team members towards a single or common organizational goal that they
were required to achieve (Iordanoglou., 2018). So I started taking more
responsibilities regarding tasks and also delegating work so that it is not
stressful for either the subordinates or me and we can work together towards
the common goal. Also, the positive feedback that I got from the employees
is also very appreciative and motivating for me to grow these skills further.
 Effective communication- I lacked communicating the senior instructions to
the employees and vice versa in a clear manner which led to major issues
(Stacho. and et.al., 2019). So, I started taking notes to remember each point
and also I worked upon my tone and voice management so that subordinates
