Self reflection on leadership
Critical examiniation of the leadership skills
With the changes in time, leadership skills and theories have gainined momenturm
thorugout the time. I have found that leadership is skills are accompanied with the various
aspects such as divergent thinking, coherent behaviour, leading actions and proepr strategic
program. On the basis of the received marks to me by the lecturer , I was shocked to see that I
could be good leader. The highest marks I have got is related to my adaptibiltiy. With this mark I
had normal feeling. My behaviour mould with the personal and circumstance where I am. I am
good management worker as well. I have been given more than 60% marks for my management
skills (Aga, Noorderhaven, & Vallejo, 2016). This given table attached in the appendix reflects
that I am good learner and having consistency in my own leadership skills. I am good in
managing complex things and getting work done from the others. However, the main issue which
I have in my psychometric tests which shows that I am not good in communicating my thoughts
I make mistakes in understanding the person’s motives and what they want. In order to build the
self-awarness in the undertaken work, I have to understand the associated factors which might
positively and negatively impact my undertaken leadership actions. My currnet strength is in
understanding the perception, values, belife and other aspects of the employees and followers
who are following me. In ordre to enahcne my current and future effectiveness I will have to
develop my divergent and coherent thinking to mitigate identified leadership issues.
Reflexive practice as a means of continuous learning and self-development
There are several issues and complexity in my leadership skills. I have found that if I want to
learn more and mitigate these leadership issues then I firstly has to focus on consistent learning
program. I also have to focus on my own acts and mistakes which I have been making thorhgout
the time. Nonetheless, my main mistake in leadership work is related to understanding the
persons motive and their demands (Anantatmula, 2010). I will solve this issue by connecting my
self with them on consistent basis either through meeting or virtual world. It wil give the brief
idea about their wants and needs. In addition to this, I will also have to use my daily routine
tactics to push myself to strengthen the effectiveness of the work done by my followers. This
will allow me to set up an alignment between my work and employees work. If I could influence
them to work positlvey and align their interest with the particualr task then it will also mitigage
