MODULE ANALYSIS1
The aim of this paper is to discuss the learning experience of module 1 and 2 that
discuss the ideas of leadership. Through these two modules I have learnt about various facets
of leadership and challenging the job of the leaders have become now a days. In reading these
two modules I have pointed out some very important factors that have shocked me, surprised
me and made me understand that there are various layers of organisational power that the
leaders enjoy but they also have some very important decision making responsibilities.
In reading these two modules, I have faced challenges like understanding of some
phrases that are used in the business management only. In addition to this, I have come across
different theories and models of leadership that has made me understand that the topic of
leadership is highly debatable and the theorists of different time and culture have seen
leadership differently. I am truly intrigued with the fact that leadership process has changed
overtime and incorporation of new ideas. I am also intrigued with the fact that the word
‘authentic’ has been associated with the leadership. In the words of Hirst et al. (2016)
leadership is itself an aspect of authority and execution of power where the subordinates feel
attracted to their leaders for their genuineness and charismatic nature. Here the word
authentic intrigued me to think that there were questions of the legitimacy of the leaders in
this 21st century business world.
Initially I only had the knowledge about the political leaders and thought that all the
responsibilities and style of leadership are same among the political leaders and the business
leaders but through this module I have gained knowledge that the responsibilities and
perceptions of the business leaders are different from the other type of leaders. I was
completely surprised with the fact that the authenticity of the leadership is measured through
the honest relationship with the subordinates by the leaders that value their input and build an
ethical foundation.

MODULE ANALYSIS2
The learning as details all the importance factors of leadership can effectively
implemented in the organisations. The readings and knowledge I have gained through this
module has close connection with my development as a leader. I have learnt about various
models regarding the leadership styles like authoritarian, participative and laissez-faire
leadership styles and also know how these leadership style are used for motivating people in
the workplace (Baron 2016). In such case, mention can be made about the responsibilities of
the leaders like guiding their subordinates, developing their skills according to the needs of
the goals, reaching them every time they need their leaders and maintain transparency
through authentic leadership.
There is a huge implication of learning of these modules focusing on leadership
process in me which have empowered me in understanding my own responsibilities as a team
leader. Usually the readings of the modules give me theoretical knowledge about the
leadership background which seems not to be helpful in the practical would of business but I
am sure that when I make decisions as a leader, the knowledge from these theories help me.
This is due to the fact that the theories are proven fact and these theorists have proven their
ides with examples. In the words of Lee et al. (2019), many large and medium companies
around the world have gained advantage after following leadership theories. In the case of
fire and rescue service, I have understood the need for discipline and proper knowledge of the
roles of the individual team members are necessity (Boekhorst 2015). They must be abduling
their leaders more importantly so that they can receive orders and execute those properly.
Hence the process of aligning the team members can be understood when I have read the
modules.
The learning activities of the modules bear various case studies which are real world
incidents. Therefore these give in depth insight about the relational transparency of the
leaders. With the change in the business organisational culture, the changes are seen in the
