INTRODUCTION
Leading business is one of the most significant part that direct the right path to the
manpower and help to accomplish goals effectively. This even significantly addresses the
specific issues of an organisation and help to enhance the ability to take the necessary steps and
carry out smooth internal processes. Almost all successful organisations leads their personnel in
such a manner that possibly enrich their existing skill as well as capability (Abdelkafi and
Täuscher, 2016). This is the profitable situation for both individual and an organisation because
manpower gets better future opportunity and which further helps to enhance firm's productivity.
For better understanding the report is divided into two parts where first part include reflective
statement and for second part Starbucks company has been selected. This is the top most coffee
company that has strong distribution chains and deliver enrich beverages to customer. The core
strategy of company is to gain global dominance with coffee house sector due to which it has
diversified its services and continuously focuses to upgrade the services. Within first part
discussion is made on the aspiring leader that have foresight vision and accomplished feasible
targets. In second part discussion is made on diverse leadership style that leads to sustainability
and help to gain the competitive advantage by carry out roles and responsibility effectively.
PART 1
1.a) Fundamental questions that leaders need to ask themselves
Leaders plays the progressive role in terms to motivate the personnel and build efficient
image in terms to carry out business processes suitably (Abdurrahman and Langi, 2016). For that
I believe that being a leader I need to ask myself whether I am able to formulate effective
relationship with other members to sustain the trust. Along with that I need ask whether I have
relevant information to deliver the same to team member that helps to attain collective goals.
b. Key aspects of leadership
Adequate knowledge: As per my opinion it is the responsibility of leader to update their
existing knowledge in terms to tackle the external situation and leads to critical thinking ability.
Effective communication: It is the other key aspect of leadership, based on which I can
deliver the relevant information based on fasts and figure which leads to more clarity.
