within a team. There is proper coordination in between the team members and thus the
tasks are achieved within deadline. However, still there is room for improvement and
these needs to be adapted when the team members get changed and responsibilities were
exchanged. In such organizational changes, the unfreeze stage requires team
coordination and this aspect requires improvement.

theories has present which can applicable for people for managing their leadership roles. These
include the great man theory, trait theory which describes the importance of leadership. On

2. Summary and Action Plan
According to current journals I recognize several strengths and weakness factors that impact on
the performances of me qualities and performances. According to my point of view my strengths
are leadership, team working skills and negotiation and weakness is knowledge performances.
According to current journal review I acknowledged that motivation. Good team working skills,
respect to the team members, contribution of the ideas that enhance the performances of my
leadership skills. Negotiation skill is on a good scale and leadership skills are good, however
requires improvement. The leadership skills need to be inclined as transformational leadership
since it motivates the team members to give their best effort in achieving the tasks. It extracts the
best out of the team members and also improves the communication medium in between the
team members. The acquisition of knowledge is poor and it need to be improved through self-
development in learning skills. I am also capable of maintaining responsibilities of my team
images related to several work issues such as working environment, bullying factors in
workplace and many more. Moreover provision of several new framework related to the work
enhances the cooperative working abilities and performances. Good negotiate performances of
my enhance my capabilities and helps to create a good relationship with my co workers. I have
got several positive feedbacks from others which are similar as per my thinking that I have good
negotiation skill in my regular life. I am good in my negotiation skill good in making
relationship with other people for doing any kind of work. These factors help me to develop my
regular life activities and reach the goal of my lives.
On the other hand I confessed with the weakness related with acquiring knowledge objectives
and performances. Lack in myself analysis, capability, knowledge and objectives reduce my
11

efficiencies and my works. Lack in confidence and understanding of oral and written language
reduces my developmental factors and objectives. Moreover lack in the leadership skills makes it
difficult to have future growth and career development. It also mitigates personal development of
an individual. I need to be more organized and support my group. Due to this reason I need to
concentrate on my leadership style and abilities.
I need to develop my acquiring knowledge skills that help me to enhance my opportunities and
reduce the threats from my personal developments. I think that development of my leadership
skills enhance my future prospects and objectives. It helps to manage my future progress and
objectives. Transformational leadership style helps me to improve my leadership skill. It assists
me to connect with my co workers and their thinking’s that helps me to get my achievements and
goals. Moreover this leadership style influences me to resolve different types of problems in
different situations. Acquiring of knowledge helps me to explicit my knowledge and activities. I
utilize it in my future progress and career. Moreover I need to concentrate on the accessible
knowledge related to my work. In addition it helps my presentation capabilities.
Learning more information about the subject enhance my performances and helps me to achieve
my goals. Simulative information about knowledge enhances my growth factors and reduces my
difficult situations. Negotiation development improves my capability and business performances.
Cross cultural business negotiation improves the probability of accomplishing my personal
development and growth plans. I can use my skill in my work life to make relationship with
other organization which can help to develop my organization in an appropriate way.
Enhancement of negotiation power improves the motivational objectives and performances
(Schulze and Krum, 2017, p. 70).
