1 LEADERSHIP- A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVEThe four important areas in leadership that I have chosen at the very beginning wereinfluence, process, relationship and service (Northouse, 2015). However, when I tried toanalyze myself from these four perspectives it was very clear to me that processing is the bestquality in me among the other three areas of leadership. As we, all know that for a leader it isan essential quality that they must have that power to convince others so that the work can bedone in order to enhance the productivity of the company and helps in leading the team andassociates towards organizational aims. My biggest limitations that I came to know are in theareas of influence and relationship. A leader needs to have a good communication skill aswell. However, in my case I am only a good listener that is because of my shy nature(Hackman & Johnson, 2013). Not having a good communication skill and being a shy personitself is a drawback as a leader. I am an emotional person and so another drawback of mine isthat I am influenced easily. However, to be a good leader or the characteristics the leaders hasare that they should have the power to influence other rather than getting motivated or carriedaway by other. Therefore, I have to stop being subdued by the flattening power of others.Thus, the important point that I learned is that the leadership qualities are not only helping anindividual to grow in himself but also it deals with how effectively one can serve theircustomers. However, leadership qualities help for proper growth and judgment that guides tomanage the areas in marketing as per the development. For this particular assignment I have taken the help from my sister to help meevaluate myself as according to me she is the one who knows myself very well and can havea honest analysis about my character. My evaluation about myself and that of my sister’s whoaccording to me knows me much more than I do is not of much difference but still I wouldlike to discuss the analysis of both. Firstly, what I think is that I am a person who isinfluenced very easily. My sister also pointed out that I am influenced by my friends’ wrongdeeds. However, I also feel that I cannot deny anything when I should do that to avoid getting

As my sister said for the points influence and relationship, where theyeasily dominate me and I cannot manage the decisions taken by them is, what I feel helps megetting my work done more easily and makes the relationship strong. Another point ofdifference is there between my sister and my own analysis and that is, she thinks I am anemotional person and so am always scared that something wrong will happen, but I really donot think that way. I might be an emotional person but that is my characteristics I feel and ithas nothing to do with the surrounded feeling that things might get wrong. For me I think mygreatest quality that I have is processing. My sister also agrees with this particular point and Ihave seen in my professional world that I can very swiftly proceed with the various standardsof the customers in a very easy manner. However to improve the customer satisfaction in myjob it is very important that how I deliver the best quality service to the customers. Therefore,to deliver the best quality service I have to deal with different people in a comfortablemanner. The work relationship that I have is delivering satisfactory services to the customer.As my style best suits in the area of processing thus, it is very easy for me to process withvarious standards in my workspace in a very comfortable manner. I am handling the variousprocesses in my company and its becoming possible only because I have support supportivepeople at my work. However, in the area of influence my style can largely be a drawbackbecause it becomes hard at times to take the decisions myself without being manipulated byothers. In the corporate world, anyone can take advantage of this and compress me. I do havea convincing power that can actually work in my benefit and in a way enhance myrelationship with my colleagues and subordinates to actually influence them to on certainprofitable decisions. However, because of my shy nature my friends and my colleague’sthinks that I like to stay a good listener. This however, affects that relationship in aprofessional world because here only being a good listener will not work, as people will also
