DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP
Introduction
The following report is based on the discussion of the dynamic leadership strengths. A
dynamic leader is the person who has the hunger for knowledge and also shows intent to gain
experience and improve the personal skills in managing and leading a particular team or a
group of individuals. The dynamic leader has the capability to gain experience from each and
every activities (Horsman 2018). The capability to implement the knowledge and experience
in a proper and efficient manner separates a dynamic leader from that of a leader. A leader
must possess a solid determination to complete a particular task (Pfajfar Uhan Fang and
Redek 2016). Apart from this the leader must be able to motivate the people and must have
the ability to take a unique stand and establish his authority over the others to highlight the
leadership abilities in him. The following report is basically a reflexive report that will
highlight the perspectives of a leader (Pitelis and Wagner 2019). However, the inclusion of
the results of the Gallop Strength of the selected leader has helped to make the report more
informative in nature.
Current Role and Responsibilities and Leadership Challenges
Leaders have a major role to play in the organization as they have the responsibility to
train and guide the employees in the proper direction. The responsible roles of the leaders
helps the organization to ensure success in the business (Harms 2017). As of now being a
leader I have the responsibility to earn the trust of my fellow employees. Trust is a three way
process and I will be applying it according to these process. The steps in the process are as
follows;
a. I must be able to trust the different members of the team
b. I must be able to present myself in such a manner that will help me to earn the trust of
the others

It will be my second duty to properly communicate with all the team members. The
presence of the proper communication with the team members will help in the proper and
smooth business operations. I have given extra effort on communication aspect in order to
execute a task clearly without any mistakes. Sometimes communication seems to be the
greatest challenge as there are people who tend to disrupt the communication process. Apart
from communication I must provide sufficient resources to the employees and show them or
guide them towards the right path in order to ensure success.
There a large number of different challenges that have been faced by me in the past and
also to be faced by me in the future. Some of the common challenges are as follows;
a. Setting the goals- The setting of the goals of the organization is utmost essential for
the organization to ensure the success of the organization. The setting of the goals
depends on the organizational strategies and the different kinds of the business in a
proper manner. The setting of the goals helps the management to ensure success.

b. Maximization of the value- The maximization of the value of the employees will be
my original priority. The providence of the proper value helps the organization to
ensure the success of the business in a proper manner. Being a valued employee helps
them to stay motivated and perform in a much better manner.
c. Gaining role clarity- The clarity on the roles of provided by me as the absence of the
clarity on each other’s roles can create confusion and will lead to problems in the
future. The employees must be informed about their tasks and can ensure that they
play a major role in the success of the business. The clarity on the roles of the people
helps the employees to perform in a much better manner.
Key Aspects of the Leadership Role
Being in the management or playing the role of a leader has made me more
responsible. Leadership according to me is the form of a next level management. My
experience of being a leader has helped me to gain a number of different knowledge that has
been essential for me. There are some key components or aspects of the leadership role
followed by me. They are as follows;
a. Coaching the employees- According to me, the most key aspect of being a leader is to
ensure that I act as the coach of the employees and not as the dictator A great leader is
a coach and not a dictator. Therefore I have decided to be friends with the employees
and then teach them the necessary procedures. According to me it is important to earn
the trust of the employees which can only be accomplished once I become friends
with the employees. My greatest advantage is that I am able to communicate with the
people easily. Being friends with the employees will help me to understand the
demands of each and every people and will help me to make the strategies
accordingly.

b. Adapting to situations- I must be able to easily adapt to different types of situations.
The adaption of the different kinds of the situations can help me to implement the best
strategies to lead the team and also help me to ensure success for the business
organization. My ability to adapt to different situations is one of the greatest
advantages and will surely provide me the extra calibre of being a leader.
Results of Gallup Strength
The Gallup Strength test has helped me to evaluate my inner strength and the
capabilities that I have within me. According to, Acton et al. (2019) the Gallup strength
reports has described my inner capabilities. The fact that I had the inner capabilities and
strengths in me was not known to me. Thus it can be said that the Gallup test is one of the
most important tests that helps to define the inner strength and inner capabilities of a person. I
would say that the test has been an eye opener for me as it has helped me to gain an
understanding of my strengths. These strengths are an important part of my professional life
as it will help me to engage in leadership activities in a much better and organized manner.
Key feedback Points
The results of the Gallup Strength provided here is a great example of an organized
personal strength biography. The Gallup test clearly indicates that you have been totally
unaware of your inner capabilities and thus you were not able to make the most of your
capabilities. The results has shown some key points which can help you to improve your
professional life in the future. I have assessed the report and can say that you have a natural
strength of including yourself in every single aspect which helps you to communicate and
mix up with the employees. On the other hand, the futuristic thinking is one of the largest
advantages that you have. The futuristic advantages can help you to enhance your inner
strengths and yourself strong as a leader. Another major feedback point from the following

DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP
report is your ability as a true leader which has been widely accepted by your group of
friends. The friends generally support each and every time and support you in each and every
steps. Your ability to adapt to each and every situations has been another positive result for
you. You are also quite unaware of the unique ways that you adapt to solve each and every
situations. The feedback is positive in the sense that it can help you to solve different
problems in an easy manner. I have also found out that you have received immense learning
experience. The positive work surroundings has been helpful for you to motivate the team
members and lead them towards a common goal. My observation on your strength will surely
help you to be a better professional person in the near future.
Implications of the Feedback
The feedback provided by the friends and colleagues in the workplace has been very
much positive as it points out me as an adaptive person with great learning experience. The
fact that I share a friendly relation with the colleagues and friends have helped me to gain
immense knowledge and also helped me to make my transformation from an employee to a
leader and then from a leader to a dynamic leader has been because of my strong leadership
ability and quality. The positive feedback of my adaptive nature can be utilized by me in all
the future works. As I always prefer a soft hand in each and every issue, it will help me to
gain an advantageous position to solve the issues.
Link to the Theory
Dynamic Leadership Theories describe the role of the leaders and their
responsibilities in a proper and important manner. The theories has been designed to
implement the best leadership plans that is able to show the perfect path to the employees and
gain success.

Conclusion
The reflexive report on dynamic leadership based on real life example has been a
great source of information and turns into a great scope for future studies on leadership roles.
The leadership roles and the importance of the dynamic leadership will provide a healthy
source of information to future researchers. The dynamic leadership style is totally different
from the original leadership styles. The leadership styles helps the management to ensure the
success of the business in a proper and efficient manner. The reflective report based on my
capabilities as an able leader has been made more informative with the inclusion of the
results of the Gallup test. Being an organized person I am able to address all the difficulties of
the employees and the organization in a proper and efficient manner. The basic needs that
must be followed by me will be to gain the trust of the employees in a proper manner.
