MANAGEMENT 1
Introduction
In the field of business research, the study of leadership is one of the most discussed
topic. Leadership is one of the key role for the growth of a sustainable organization.
Organization are influenced by the ability of the leader in their actions and steps for the benefit
of the business organization (Herman 2016). In this essay I would like to highlight my position
as a human resource leader of a business organization and my journey towards becoming a more
efficient leader in my area of profession. In this essay I would explain the key concepts related
to the management of the system of the human resource within my organization together with the
evaluation and the application of the considerations of the human resources while undergoing an
of the decision related to business that are in line with the strategic goal of the organization I am
serving. Highlighting the contemporary approaches of the leadership and the models, I would
evaluate my leadership trait and develop personal development targets for improving in the area
of the leadership in the human resource.
Discussion
The mission or the target of the human resource with a business organization is
towards the provision of the leadership and oversight all the relevant aspects of the human
resources staffs for the development of the business organization by enabling partnering with the
leaders and the individual within al the levels.
Some of my basic behavior and traits include supporting and influencing the strategic direction
of the business organization by providing the employee and the managers with some of the
innovative solutions for the issues of the human resources and the organization.
Importance of Human Resource as the source of competitive advantage

2MANAGEMENT
I believe that human resources are the most valuable assets for the competitive
advantages and for sustaining in the long term business. Many of the assets of the workforce are
reviewed theoretically reviewed in the consideration of the resource based view. According to
the online resources that I have accessed, the competitive advantages are frequently possible for
imitating. I believe that effective leadership is an essential component to lead and survive the
business in the competitive market.
Leadership Theories
As per the online resources and the theories that I have learned through out my course
of study, some of the key leadership theories includes the great man theory, trait theory ,
contingency theory, situational theory and behavioral theory. These theories are the foundations
of the leadership behaviors ad traits of the human resource of business organization.
I personally believe in following the situational theory of leadership which is
somewhat similar to the contingency theory. According to Tucker et al. (2017) the situational
leadership theory proposes that fact that no one of the leadership styles supersedes the others. As
per the suggestion of the name, I follow the situational leadership theory implying the fact that
leadership depends on the situation of the hand. I believe that leaders should always correspond
towards the leadership traits regarding respective situation by asserting of the certain variables
like the type of the task, the nature of the followers and more. In the proposition of the class
documents and the class notes, I researched that the situational theory blends two of the essential
key elements. This are the leadership style and the maturity level of the follower. The four of the
major different category of the leadership styles include the context of the maturity which the
situational leadership theory targets.

 The members of the organization do not possess the motivation or the skills related to
tactics for the completion of the necessary jobs.
 The members of the team are ambitious and willing for the achievement of something
and lack the necessary abilities.
 The members of the team possess the capability and the skills for the accomplishments of
the task but are not willing to take the necessary accountability.
To summarize, my perspective on the situational theory includes the exercise of the
leaders regarding the particular form regarding the traits and the behavior of the leadership on
the basis of the maturity level and his or her terms.
Model
In the context of the operational Human Resource Management, the model of the
leadership as the leaders of the human resource that I follow is the Ulrich’s 4 Roles Model.
