PART 1
Systematic knowledge of leadership concepts and their benefits to organization
A.
Two key question leaders should ask themselves is what hind of leaders I am and how
which leadership style I am using to motivate my Team members and if I am using then it is
effective (Antonakis and Day., 2017). This two question they should ask themselves, so they can
understand they are leading their team properly or not , if they are not then they can bring change
in themselves and improve their leadership.
B.
There are two key aspects of the leaders are vision and encouraging other team members
to achieve objectives. Leaders have to lead their team members according to the vision of the
company, and he should encourage their team members to help him to achieve objectives of the
company (Barr and Dowding., 2019). This is important for leaders to motivate them because
leaders work is to motivate other to achieve goals.
C.
There are many leadership styles, but we have to decide which leadership style we should
use to motivate and achieve goals. I personally recommend democratic leadership style in this
style every employee take part in the decision-making process and share their opinions. This also
create good communication flow in the workplace and also help to create good relationship
between leaders and members.

D.
In my opinion there are two various leadership style which is suitable for the VUCA
environment, situational leadership style in which leaders lead their team members according to
the situation in the workplace they change their leadership in different situations and other is
coach style leadership style in which leaders react like a coach and other members listen to
them.
E.
It is essential for the leaders to know about leadership style because they leaders whole
team in the organization, and they are responsible to achieve objective sand goals by motivating
their team members (Bolman and Deal., 2017). This leadership style help them to them how they
can solve from in they organization how they can leaders and motivate others to achieve
objectives and goals of the company.
Knowledge to measure the share which single, leaders and stakeholders make in creating and
execution the mission and vision
A.
Mission statement of any company define their business and their objectives and their
approaches to reach those objectives effectively (Buzo., 2018). This statement totally focus on
the future opportunities and what they want to become In the future. Vision statement are often
combined to provide the proper statement of the purpose of the company, goals and values.
B.
According to opinion every single person in the organization have same contribution to
execute companies mission and vision (Ciulla., 2017). Superiors of the company motivate,
guide , lead and provide proper information and employees help company to achieve their
business objectives and goals of the business, so they have equal contribution.
C.
Leaders of the company have most impotent role in the company to executing their
mission and vision. They motivate and lead employees of the company and make proper aim to
achieve the companies objectives, without leaders of the company business cannot be successful
to execute their mission and vision.
