Introduction
An internship is a closely supervised work or service experience in which a student
defines learning goals and actively reflects on what is being learned during the experience in
order to educate themselves. After a serious conversation with management, everyone can
come to an agreement on the program's goals that everyone can understand. It is possible to
adapt the programme and internship to best suit those goals. In order for a programme to be
effective, as many staffing experts are aware, management must be on board with the
initiative. Effective job descriptions need the creation of demanding work assignments that
match students' academic courses. Creating a preliminary list of job tasks that meet the
department's requirements is one method to achieve this. This will assist the college advertise
their internship or field experience and filter the suitable individuals for the position by
providing a thorough description of usual responsibilities (Aoki, 2019).
The provided report will be based on reflecting on the experience of project
management internship in UK. For the present report document various deviations are being
produced that develop core understandings of various skills and knowledge being developed
during the course of internship programme. Commonly, young students aren't taught how to
think critically and logically. As long as they follow the right method, It is known that critical
thinking is highly helpful in solving the problem, but it's not easy to accomplish this without
any direction. A reflection over my skills and knowledge development when engaging with
my internship activities will be\ discussed in the provided project. It has been a fast-paced
and demanding internship, and I've like it so far since it encourages me to perform a better
job than I did before. This project is part of our internship requirements, and as interns, we
are all obligated to work on it together. The project requires me to work with my co-workers
in my spare time because I have a very hectic internship schedule. This intern project has
taught me a lot of problem-solving abilities, and I've enjoyed the process. Everyone has to be
there at the same moment, which is the first difficulty. The four of us have varied schedules,
and we're all on the same team. Due to this, we have to squeeze more time out of our
schedules to be able to cooperate on the project. Even after work, we have to work on the
project as a team to complete it. We were thrilled with how far we have come. Since we are
only interns, we don't have a lot of authority, so we have to work hard to make up for what
we've missed out on. As we progress, we must therefore learn to be more professional. When
I first created our PPT, I felt it would be great to include a bunch of animations. I've also
included photographs of the persons in charge of the thank-you notes on the slideshow. But

after asking our mentor for his perspective, we received a lot of helpful feedback, so I
basically threw everything out and began again. As exhausting as it is to go through the
process of solving an issue as an undergraduate, it was worth it since I learned how to
become more professional in preparation for the real world. In a summary, I learned a lot
from our intern final assignment. The problem-solving experience I gained throughout my
internship will surely help me in my future profession (Badrinarayanan, Ramachandran and
Madhavaram, 2019).
The provided report will form basis to grasp the value of leadership and change
management, as well as how to implement them. This will help the organisation achieve its
goals in a more efficient manner while obtaining a competitive edge. These elements must be
grasped by leaders and members of an organisation (Burke, Hoitash and Hoitash, 2019).
Leadership theory: Theory 1
Leadership theory works on basic principle of utilising available resources to achieve
specific goals while ensuring that the organisation remains cohesive and cohesive. According
to some, leadership is the process through which a person inspires a group of others to
achieve a common purpose. It's no doubt that leadership is a complex and confusing
phenomenon. It has been researched extensively throughout the years, and in today's fast-
paced and increasingly globalised society, it is more important than ever before. Despite the
complexity of the issue, leadership continues to be a source of interesting and complicated
debate. Leadership is the most researched and least understood issue in the social sciences.
Organisational success relies on effective leadership. In reality, the relevance of human
capital and organisational management is increasingly being recognised. Organizational
leadership is one of the most researched issues that has been examined in connection to a
variety of performance outcomes for employees. Integration between leaders and followers
seems to be a relatively recent notion, as evidenced by a literature analysis of the subject.
Organizations invest a lot of money on leadership development programmes, so it's important
that leaders and followers see things the same way (Campbell and Wilmot, 2018).
For the given internship at project management in UK, I was able to develop core
understandings of the respective concept. Every team needs a strong leader to achieve its
goals. Take, for example, a world-class orchestra that is devoid of a conductor. Despite the
fact that every member of the orchestra can play well on their own, without a conductor, they
will only generate an incompatible tune. Communities, corporations, and governments are all
subject to the same principle. Nothing will operate smoothly without a leader. Leadership
