Personal reflection
Leadership definition
Leadership is being an imperative concept for the current business era as it assists to make the
smooth business process and support to get higher competitive advantages. I gained my
understanding of the leadership that impacts on the overall outcome. I comprehended that the
leadership is the capability of an organization as well as individual to guide and attract to the
follower and another member of the company (Ward, 2016).
From the evaluation of the questionnaire result, it is addressed that I have got higher marks in
certain section as it means I have some skills named as Idealized influence,
Inspirational motivation, and Contingent reward. I have also understood that some characteristics
come in the moderate level named as Intellectual stimulation, Individual consideration, and
Laissez‐faire leadership. Apart from that, it is founded that I have fewer skills to work as the
management of exception hence this comes at the low level.
The classroom lecture taught to me that an effective leader has different characteristics such as
creative with innovative thinking, willingness to take risks, self-confidence, and openness to
change. Another characteristic that I possess is levelheadedness as well as, reactiveness during a
crisis, strong communication with management competencies, and perseverance at the time of
failure (Sanders, 2017). From the outcome, it is founded that I have higher marks as it means I
have the capability to influence as it means people have made their beliefs on me than other as it
is a positive aspect for me. For illustration, people give their positive responses towards my
behavior that feel me positivity around me From the application of the lecture, I enhanced my
knowledge about the characteristics that required for the perspective of team leader named as the
community-relied organizations. I enhanced my many skills by completing this class named as

communication, self-confidence, and management skills. I also observed that personality is a
major concept of making a change in the behavior of an individual and I improved my
personality due to attracting a huge number of consumers (Blanchard, 2015).
Behavior theory
I have also developed my understanding that motivation is significant elements in leadership and
plays a fundamental role in path-goal leadership theory. It is also related to how a leader can
encourage their workforces in terms of attaining their objectives. It is also identified that a leader
can gain motivation through rewarding their workforces. It is also addressed that a leader should
clarify which path to select to perform with respect to objectives (Heifetz and Linsky, 2017). I
have also observed that a leader should give consideration on their workforces by offering them
coaching as well as, maintaining them on feasible track because it would gain work enjoyment. It
is identified that a leader can emphasize on several kinds of leadership behavior. It could differ
per employees and situation as long as, they offer focus on support. It would permit the leaders
in terms of performing towards the objective of departments and also combines these with the
goals of an organization (Frohlich and Oppenheimer, 2015). In this section, I also gained my
knowledge about the behavior theory due to attracting the behavior of others for making the
decision effectively. I observed that some leader is born while others were skills were developed
their skills towards the leadership. I also observed that a leader should be influencing and have
the capability to attract a large number of people as it could be effective in obtaining a favorable
result in the favor of the research matter. From the outcome, I addressed that I have inspirational
skills as it means I have the capability to positive inspires others to do any specified activity and
encourage them to get a positive result. But, at the same time, I ti also founded that the
researcher should be needed to concentrate on different skills that might be affected by the

overall research outcome. The inspirational motivation is an effective technique for getting
reliable information about research result. It is examined that skills could be effective in
operating the research activity and support to higher competitive advantages. It is illustrated that
leadership is an activity that enables to the team leader to make vision towards their work. For
illustration, I would imply this learning into the upcoming period to practice the effective
leadership style in the organization (Robertson, 2016).
From attending the lecturers, I increased my knowledge about the behavior of a leader that could
be implied by a team leader to conduct suitable behavior with the team member. I also make an
effective way for the determination of leadership success. It could lead to getting a suitable
outcome. I would also practice the effective leadership style in the organization to operate the
business acts and make a decision effectively. These approaches were concentrated on the
leadership qualities for improving the productivity of the firm (Komives and Wagner, 2016). I
have noticed that behavioral theories of leadership are categorized as such because they
emphasize investigation of the particular behavior of the leader. It was learned that behavior
leadership theory focuses on observable action with reactions that a leader can be developed as
compared to born. It was also taught to me that effective leadership relies on learnable and
definable behavior. It is also found by the result, it is addressed that I have quite fewer skills of
creativity that could create a problem for me to meeting the specified task in an innovative way.
But, I am capable to create an effective atmosphere in the team for the attainment of the
organizational goal. I also improved my leadership skills to make an effective decision towards
the organizational task. It is addressed that leadership skills could be essential in the attainment
of the organizational goal. I am capable to create an environment which is tolerant in extreme
situation. I will also be capable to get the reliable result in the context of the current matter. For
