Introduction:
The paper highlights my individual skills and competencies in being an efficient
leader. The paper analyses my learning of the performance and reward theory and along with
that, the paper also provides significant information that I was able to gather from the internet
browsing. Apart from this, the paper also summarizes the important points from the interview
of the industry guest speaker which has the potential to improve my skills and the
competencies as a leader. In addition to this, the paper describes my learning from the
experiences of the in class activities and portrays the method in which that experience can

and the weakness of mine in being an efficient leader.
Theories:
From the theories of the performances and rewards, I understood the importance of
the SHRM and along with that, the theories were of great significance for me in
understanding the objectives of the SHRM which were the improvement of the productivity
of the organizations, the increment in the sales of the organizations, effective reduction in the
rate of the employee turnover, increment in the effectiveness of the business activities of the
organizations along with strengthening the link between the internally consistent policies of
the organizations and the objectives of the organizations. Apart from that, from the theories, I
was able to understand the scope of improving the performances of the organization with the
application of the efficient SHRM practices.

over tasks, performance appraisal, teamwork and training.
Apart from this, the theories enabled me to have the knowledge regarding the impact
of the performance rating errors. I was able to understand the fact that the performance rating

of the central tendency, stereotyping ad recency error. The effective understanding of the
detrimental impact of the mentioned errors were crucial for me in gaining the appropriate
knowledge regarding the method of efficient leadership.
In addition to this, the theories were of great significance for me in gaining the
knowledge regarding the significance of the appropriate rewarding system and along with
that, I was also able to understand the objectives of the efficient rewarding system which
were the attracting the employees, retaining the employees, development along with
motivating the employees for the better performances in terms of productivity and quality in
the services of the employees of the organizations.

for being an efficient leader and along with that, the message from the video was crucial for
me in understanding the significance of having a precise look at everything being the leader.
Being a leader, it is important for me to cover each and every part of the activities that are
