Question 2
In a leader strength and weakness, both are present and improving their strength and reducing their
weakness help them to make a good and loyal team. Here as a manager of the Foodstuff organization
some strength and weakness are noticed and improving it one can do better in their working procedure.
As per the leadership quality it is noticed that as a manager I have to provide careful attention to the team
members so that a loyal team has been made by him. Along with that the person maintain his time
dividing capacity so that the team members gives him a good support for completing the work on time.
Clear and ethical explanation helps a manager to improve his skills on leadership quality so by providing
a clear-cut explanation of things related to work help him a good team leader (Shah, & Pathak, 2015).
One of the major strength that I possess being a manager in the Foodstuff organization is to respect the
innovation and development procedure of some new thing in the organization. It bring enthusiasm in the
team which help them to innovate and improve their working techniques so that the company gets
benefitted and also their market share increases in the market. This leadership quality falls under the trait
theory of leadership qualities. This theory states that the people are born with certain leadership quality
among which careful to the team member, responsibility and creativity falls in this group (Burch, Swails,
& Mills, 2015).
So being the manager of Foodstuff Company the leader supports the improvement and creativity of their
team leader and is considered as one of the important quality to be a good leader. Another leadership
quality that makes me as one of the good leader in the organization is the awareness of decision making
strategies and capable of recognizing weakness. Any wrong decision in the workplace gives a huge effect
on the business procedure and not only the company has to suffer from losses but the management team
as well as the employee also faces problem due to this (Jin, Meng, & Berger, 2017). This help to build
trust in between the team members and this increases their working capability in the organization. Due to
such leadership skills the cultural sensitivity is maintained in the organization. As the team member
belongs to different culture and supporting their ideas and creations help them to improve their skills.
This leadership quality also motivated them to make new and innovative product for the organization. All
this leadership qualities help the leader to make a strong team but along with this some weakness are also
present in the leadership quality and this need to improve to become a good leader in the organization.
As a manager of Foodstuff Company, I have to maintain a good communication to their team member so
that the member does not hesitate to explain their opinions and ideas towards their leaders. As a leader
one should have to maintain good communication skills with their team member either verbally or non-
verbally (DuBois, Hanlon, Koch, Nyatuga, & Kerr, 2015). The leader hesitates to communicate verbally

with their team member and this creates a problem for both the leader and the employee. Due to such
problem of proper communication, the employees belong to different culture did not put their ideas
properly in front of the manager and this effect the production growth of the company in the market. As
per the leadership skills, the behavioral theory is one that is based on the behavior traits of a person and
thus for maintaining a good behavior as well as communication to the team members can diminish the
problem in the organization (Trivellas, & Reklitis, 2014).
My strength is to maintaining a good communication behavior with the team member also helps to
decrease cultural issues and the employees also do their work properly without any argument or conflict.
The leader also faces problem to maintain a proper balance in between the workplace and home and thus
does not maintain a proper self-care of its own. This causes a problem, not in the working place or home
but the leader also faces many mental problems (Bealer, & Bhanugopan, 2014). Due to work pressure
load, the leader faces many issues of maintaining balance in his working life and does not give time at
home. Being a manager it is clear that I have to maintain working pressure and balance between home
and working procedure. A leader should not mix his life with working procedure and for maintaining the
difference between the two faces the leader should have to complete the work at the stipulated time so
that the issues must be decreases in the coming days (Larsson, Eriksson, Olofsson, & Simonsson, 2015).
