market. Time management skills: - To begin with, I recognized that I don’t prioritise adjuratory
tasks, I instead absolute less complex work first, leading to demotivation and stress, as I
haven’t given the more ambitious work any attention (Lindebaum, 2016). To manage
time is most all important part and make some changes as per need of internal
organisation. I have learned that time management skill is useful to make some changes
in the overall working environment. It is essential to demonstrate organisation and the
capabilities to understand what work needs to be completed. Completing the self-
assessment test altered my perspective on where my weaknesses lay and I will now have
more self-awareness when completing the future tasks. This skill will improve the
success rate of work and also eliminate stress that revolves around university work. These
skills help to improve the productivity and efficiency (Daft and Marcic 2016). It is

my work and learn how to stay focused during the more challenging tasks. Team leading: - My strong abilities include providing a clear vision and direction for the
team. I believe that hearing everyone’s perspective is important in order to provide a
clear direction. It is unit leader’s responsibility to incorporate all opinions into one that
will benefit team (Tayur, 2017). It was made evident that I lack skill to raise
complications and concerns that affect outcomes of team, especially when there are
2

conflicting issues believe in a team everyone’s thoughts and sentiment are very important
to success.
 Assertiveness: - Assertiveness in a business is a central feature of working towards the
future roles. By voicing an opinion to a higher influence, in polite manner, is the epitome
of self-assertiveness. It displays certainty in personal opinions (Maag, 2016). I believe to
always show respect at work but there are often times when fellow employees can cross a
line. Employees who are assertive and self-assured are what companies look for in
personnel. They need someone who assert their own beliefs without disrespecting the
surrounding peers. As I work in a business firm state of affairs, I realise how it can be
daunting to speak your mind.

In my own experience the mentor’s I have spoken with, have provided me with the skills to
practice asserting my dominance, and to understand it is acceptable to be wrong.
3. Help such skills

communication skills with surrounding peers and most importantly service as a role model and
become an individual that is approachable. It is imperative that I apply these skills to university
so that my team work productivity will improve, if my skills in this progress further. I want to
acquire abilities to strengthen my personality and have skills to bring attention to issues in a
group setting and provide constructive criticism (Verbruggen, 2015). I believe to always show
respect at work but there are often times when fellow employees can cross a line.
