Answer 3
1. Principles and techniques involved in the management;
 The performance management procedure is carried out by recognizing the team’s members.
The team should comprise individuals who are good performers and moreover, they must
recognize the goals and objectives of the organization.
 In addition to this, the team leader needs to have an understanding of the employees’
behavioural patterns. Moreover, identifying their personality traits is also important as it
helps in analysing their work patterns, nature and other factors as well. In addition to this,
the employees should be motivated to mix up with the diversified workforce and training
sessions should be provided on such factors as well (Goetsch and Davis 2014).
 Moreover, a personal development plan is immensely important and each employee should
be motivated to set up their goals and plans. The template should be provided by the team
leaders and the employees should be asked to fill in their details. Monitoring their plans
would provide the team leader with sound knowledge regarding their goals, personal career
objectives and how they plan to meet the organizational needs (Howard-Grenville et al.
2018).
 Personal goal setting is also important as it will enable the employees to set up their
personal goals in accordance with that of the organization.
 Lastly, the team leader should also motivate the employees and conduct sessions on time
management. Managing time is the most important factor, which should not be taken
lightly. It will help the employees in balancing their work as well as personal life in an
effective manner (Söderhjelm et al. 2018).

2. Organization’s procedures regarding professional development;
 Position specific development policy ensures that the employees carry out their duties as
per their job positions, qualifications and descriptions within the working hours.
 Non-position specific development policy permits any rearrangement of the working hours
for assisting employee personal development. It permits annual leaves and arranges for
unpaid leaves, depending on the emergency level.
 Educational and training requirement policy involves reimbursement of the fees or
provision of study leaves, which is paid (Bolden 2016).
3. Types of learning style;
 For training the employees in the most effective manner, the team leader needs to
understand their style of learning. This is immensely crucial in the fast paced environment
of the organizations.
 The kinesthetic learner gains knowledge from direct practice and experience. They might
require adequate resources for effective training.
 The auditory learner absorbs the information best when shared out loud. They get benefitted
from group discussions (Bush 2015).
 Lastly, the visual learner learns when the information is presented in the form of an image.
They might find the auditory learning style ineffective as they easily lose interest during
lectures or group discussions.
