INTRODUCTION
My personal experience in a simulation both as a follower and leader will be reflected
thoroughly in the analysis. Climbing the longest peak of the Everest with me group was a
thrilling experience where I faced many situations which enhanced my leadership and team
working skills that will be thoroughly mentioned in the evaluation. The analysis is aimed to
highlight every aspect of the event in order to evaluate the successive factors (Forte-Celaya and
et.al., 2021). Analysing process is aimed to enlighten the gaps in the skills sets which has to be
filled to become more proficient. Skills analysis will be followed by the development plan to
polish my skills and develop new ones.
My Background
Skills of leading a group of people towards success is the basic characteristic of a leader.
Quality of a leader has been an essential part of my life where I developed more associated skills
with leadership. My participation in my family business enabled the qualities of leader in me.
Initially, I worked under the superiors of the business and eventually learned to tackle the
different situation and resolve various problems. During my academics the leadership qualities
were polished up-to to a higher extent where I studied the relevant theories and case studies of
the great leaders (Cotronei-Baird, 2020). Abraham Lincoln was the personality which was
idolized by me and I wanted to develop my personality in that manner. In my school and college
life I experienced various situations both as leader and follower where I learned the management
skills and the ways of contributing in the group goals with collaboration and coordination. Also,
in this period I acknowledged the importance of contribution of every individual irrespective of
their position and intensity of the duty. Interdependence of every small and big task on each
other is necessary for achieving the overall objectives of the group effectively.
During the Everest simulation I played the role of leader and follower as well where I
tried to contribute the best of my knowledge and skills to the simulation. Leaders of the team
were very supportive and highly skilled. Influence of there experience in the simulation helped
the team to gain effective results. However, there were some gaps that lacked and lead to
mismanagement to time. But, the focus of the leader towards the mission was highly appreciable.
