The main aim of the company is almost clear to me and I know what the goals of my team are
and the works we must do to reach the goal of the company. I have a tough time in delivering the
missions and goals of the company to my team members as I find it hard to communicate with
team members from different cultures. I like to addresses the present issues in my team rather
than thinking about future all the time and I have a very effective team members and I often
celebrate their success. I find it a bit hard to motivate my employees and when the time comes
for taking difficult decision I find it hard to come up with better decisions. But when the time
comes to influence on decision I flourish and my team members have the clear idea of the steps
to be taken to fulfil the decision. I keep a good contact with the associated who are key to the
company and I am also informed time to time about the important changes in the organisation.
Although it takes time for the breaking news to reach me and I use my connections to do the
things on time.
