Introduction
Leadership is one of the valued skill which helps to build the management in a quiet
impactful manner. The leader of an organization is one who makes consideration of some
changes and innovations which are necessary to be adapted in context of organizational
growth and development. I will discuss about the experiences and values which I have
observed in the current organization where I am working. The organization is ANZ bank,
situated in Australia and one the largest bank. I have learned that I need to explore my
leadership skills when one of my colleagues put some negative comments on my working
capabilities. In this report I have made discussion about some of the leadership issues which
I was facing in the previous analysis of my skill set. I have used the model Clifton strength
which helped me to understand my core skills and also boost up my valued abilities. This
particular report will give an overview of my current and future capabilities.

Reflection on the leadership journey
The leadership is most necessary ability to be established by one but at the same time this
attains some sort of responsibilities and concerns which needs to be focused. The leadership
does not mean to make efforts to get work from the teammates apart from that this is the
concept which states to work with the team to get balanced and equal results. My family and
relatives motivated to me understand and attain the leadership skills because they had
believed in my creative decision making. They trusted that if I will enhance my core skills it
will help to enhance my peculiar as well as specialised skills. In my opinion effective leaders
have the power to strengthen the entire organizational structure (Sunder, et. al., 2019 ). there
are two different models which will help me to enhance my skills these are Whiteman grow
and boyatzis intentional model. I have made planning of 10 years to grow and develop my
leadership skills.
This specific time will help me to analyse my personal skills in a more precise manner and
will also help me to analyse the changes and innovations which needs to adopted by me. In
my opinion leadership is one of the most valued and complex tasks, as the concept plays vital
role to engage the employees towards their tasks. That was my own choice to be the leader
of an organization. After attaining the desired designation this becomes my major
responsibility to make some relevant and justifies changes to attain growth and development.
I have observed my presence and systemic execution of tasks helps the employees to manage
their work by the right time. I also have observed that this made the workplace culture
balanced but again the lack of focus of mine becomes the factor of concern (Heaton, et. al.,
2019). This is one of the major reason that I have chosen such large time to enhance my
capabilities at this time will help me to become more effective and impactful leader.
The current stage of my personal and professional lifestyle
At present, I am working in one of the largest Bank of Australia that is ANZ bank, which is
one of the largest financial institutions of Australia. Here I want to give more information
about my work role in the organization. I have joined the organization as on the work role of
lead developer. Major tasks which were included in my profile are related to analysing the
behaviour and performance of the employees. After analysing I am responsible to make the
encouraged to enhance their performance if they are working quite below the bar. On the
other hand, I also needed to give them appraisals if they worked beyond the task.

This analysis of the organization helped me to understand the working performance of the
organization and also given justification about some factors of concern. I have observed that
some of the employees were working extremely well but some of the employees had some
sort of careless behaviour towards the tasks which had been given to be completed. That was
making conflict in the entire performance of the organization that was showing biases in the
organization and making the challenges to perform well. Major issues were raised for those
who were working well. Initially the major issue for me was related to understanding the
main reason behind the issues but after giving some time I understood that this is necessary to
understand the strength and capabilities of the employees. And according to their capabilities
have to give the tasks.
This scenario of organization leads me towards to build some strategies with the help of my
interpersonal skills. in have made some sort of changes in the work allocation to different
employees as I have set the sequence and allocation of tasks as determining the capabilities of
individual employees. Afterwards, I have decided to provide some training and development
resources for the employees who are less skilled. Both of these tasks helped me to attain
some significant changes in the performance of employees in the organization. Apart from
that I also made analysis of the performance of employees after making the changes. the
results were fair enough and employees were looked satisfied while working. Consequently,
it can be stated that the leadership skills and abilities are some fine concepts which help to
build the effective formation of organizational structure.

Conceptual framework
GROW model
This model helps me to analyse the situations and sort out the problems. It helps me to
enhance my skills, abilities and provide directions to do work in the right directions. I use
grow model which describes the depth information of goal, reality, way forward and options.
Goals
This factor describes that focus on the goals, mission and vision. According to me I
understand that my aims and objectives as a leader are fixed for upcoming 10 years. I learn
many things in my professional and personal life. At that time I am the leader of ANZ bank.
It enhances my skills and abilities and encourages me to do something new and upgrade my
skills. During my professional life I learn many things and it is challenging for me to perform
well within the organization. This model gives me directions to set the goals and does work
according to it. So there are many goals which are set up by me for long purposes with 10-
year planning. It includes;
 To upgrade and enhance my skills as a professional and personal life it supports me to
improvement.
 To attend the professional leadership programs courses and it helps me to enhance my
learning skills. These course tutors help me to improve my professional skills and
implement them in the right directions.
 To reshape my abilities and skills to reach the higher post within the organization
(Pranesh, et. al., 2017).
I observe that these programs and courses help me to achieve a higher position. I observe and
notice the senior staff members of the bank and learn new things. Their guidance, directions
teach me how to work in right directions. It not only provides knowledge but also provide me
to do work by using systematic ways and approaches. For achieving the higher position I
need some essential requirements which built my skills. I require some skills by learning for
the desired job (Tucker & Lam., 2014).
So I make plans for the long term and short term purposes. My short term goals are; to learn
the advanced skills, new things, leadership skills, courses and implement the relevant things
according to the requirements. Courses and guidance of the tutors help to achieve my short
term goals for 1 year. It also provides me knowledge of how to perform as a leader within the
7

organization. My long term goals from long purposes are handled the large group's members
within the organization, perform their tasks accordingly, analysis their performance, activities
and behaviour. Other goals are; motivate the workforce, encourage them by using of various
types of tools and techniques and support to the weak employees within the organization.
Reality
According to my observations, I learn many things and make efforts to achieve higher
positions in the ANZ bank. At that time I am the leader of the organization and capable to
learn various types of things which is essential for my professional skills and abilities. I learn
many things such as; analysis the employee's behaviour, observe their activities and
performance and monitor the high authorities, their behaviour. I also learn leadership styles
and know how it is used in the right directions.
I used five functions of the leadership management it includes; directing, controlling,
planning, staffing and organizing at a small level. I work with few members and do works
with them to accomplish the organizational goals and objectives. During my professional
schedule, I perform very well and learn new things. At the beginning level, I use to develop
the skills to motivate the people, use the right decisions which helps me to build self-
confidence and encouragement. I am capable to apply for planning operations and functions
regarding leadership method (Pfajfar, et. al., 2016).
Options
This component describes that to set the options for improvement and do work according to
it. Working as a leader of the ANZ bank it is important for me to do work and achieve a
higher position. For it I set one option for my current position which is leader in the well-
reputed bank. I have applied for a volunteer post which gives the knowledge, information
regarding the leadership. It also helps me to develop leadership abilities and use them within
the organization.
Another option which is set up by me is to involvement in the leadership training and
development programs, coaching, courses and learns what skills, directions and information
provided by the tutors for me. I learn many things due to these components and set planning
for long term purposes. It permits me to fill the gaps between the employees and leaders
relationships. I learn many things, communicate with various types of people, and discuss the
8

senior authorities. It helps me to enhance my current skills and increase my confidence level
(Lee & Farh., 2019).
Way forward
Now I will try to move forward and implement all the skills regarding leadership
development. Due to enhance the skills and abilities I will step forward to get the higher
positions within the organization. I set plans for next 10 years and do efforts to accomplish all
the targets and targets in a systematic form. It is analysis that these circumstances give
various types of information regarding leadership development; increase my abilities by
using various types of advanced skills.
During attending the courses and tutors guidelines I learn many useful things such as
communication skills, leadership skills, managing the staff, monitor the team group’s
activities and their performance. Now I learn how to learn the people behaviour within the
firm, corporate-level duties, responsibilities; I used leadership style within the organization
and understand the culture of it. I focus on democratic leadership style which helps me to
analyse the circumstances and develop my leadership quality, skills and abilities.
Boyatzis intentional change model
This model is focused on intentional of the people mindset. This framework is related to
coaching procedures. It is based on the intentional desired changes with various types of
factors of coaching to enhance the ways to develop the leaders in critical theory. ICT refers
both the aspects such as central and sustaining changes. At the individual level, it explores
the ideas, information of various types of stages whereas people cycles help of journey to get
the items. It includes five stages such as;
First: Catching dreams and connects to the passion:
This component helps to the individuals to focus on their own dreams and engage with the
passion. It is the starting stage of the intentional model. This factor shows that person should
focus on the ideal image and clear the vision and mission. It includes three elements which
help for building the self-image such as;
 Assume that individual attain it
 Built image of the expected and hopeful future
9

As a leader, it is essential for me to set up plan to achieve a higher position within the
organization. It is essential for me to build my image and engage with the people. It is also
essential for me to use an effective strategy with the pre-planning of leadership development.
I require to concentrate on my own skills, abilities and knowledge which is essential while
performing the tasks and targets within the organization ( Schoemaker, et. al., 2018).
Second element: Real self
These elements show that people can build an actual image in front of the organization. It
refers to drive the intentional change which includes that compare ideal self with the real self-
image. It gives the actual image of own images, progress, performance and strengths and
weakness. It gives directions to do work in the right directions. It is essential for me to
motivate me and encourage me to develop the self-awareness, built the efficiency level in a
systematic way. Self-awareness shows the actual and real image of mine, it also gives
directions to me which areas should be required for improvement and which areas require for
use as strength.
Third element: Create the learning agenda:
These elements show that learn the whole agenda in systematic form which includes
advanced goals and do actions which is drive to the ideal self-learning. The model suggested
suitability changes which occur to provide directions to make the ideal self-image within
ANZ image. This model shows directions to improve the learning skills, develop plans for
learning and implement in the right directions. As a leader, I am focused on developing the
reshaping the skills and abilities and focus on implementing these abilities according to the
requirements. Learning agenda provide me to maximizes the strengths and potential of my
own and make it is as a weapon within the organization. It maximizes the positive aspects
which concentrate on reach the aims and objectives of the goals.
Fourth element: Experimentation and activities:
This element focuses on experimentation and activities of the leadership; which conduct the
learning agenda its implement and redefined. According to Kolb’s theory leaders utilizes this
theory and build their own skills and learning skills. It enhances the people knowledge and
provide directions to gain the information via coaching methods, and try to motivate and
encourage to the peoples.
Fifth element: resonant connection
10

This element focuses on trust, beliefs and concentrates on growth and development and built
a strong connection with the leaders and managers. This element provides information about
various types of facts and information which helps me to learn new things and gain advanced
skills, knowledge. ICT explains the five essential elements which describe behavioural
changes and this model is complex.

Justification of models:
I learn many things, knowledge and information regarding both the models such as GROW
and boyatzis intentional change model. Both models provide information about self-image.
Grow model describe the overall personal growth and development and provide directions to
build the self-image. It provides information to enhance the skills and abilities regarding
leadership. The second model describes the person intentional change model which focuses
on person mindset, their behaviour and their intention levels. I choose to grow model which
is a suitable match with my situations.
As a leader, I select the GROW model to provide the right directions, guidance’s regarding
leadership development and also support me to enhance my personal and professional skills.
It is investigated that this model helps me to build the self-image, enhance the personal skills
and abilities to do work in the right directions. It also provides me to develop leadership
skills, implement it according to the requirements of the conditions.
As a leader, this model supports me to manage the company tasks and targets within the
given time period. Grow model used to develop the awareness and give guidance for higher
the response and accomplish the organizational goals and objectives. Become a leader I
understand that it is required for me to monitor all the options and it enhances my abilities to
achieve all my short term and long term goals. Move forward option encourages me to do
work within given time period and focus on the potential goals and objectives.
This model is simple as compare to the Boyatzis intentional change model. ICT model is a
more complex and lengthy procedure. On the other hand, grow model is simple and provide
all the information which is relevant to the leadership concept. So I choose grow model and
gain the various types of information which are provided by it. It helps me to take right
decisions within decision making process, accomplish all the tasks and targets within
organization. It supports me improve my presentation skills and upgrade my abilities to
achieve a higher position within the organization.
