is to provide high quality services to deliver to its customers by offering them personalised
services and provide comfortable environment. It is my responsibility as employee of Hilton
hotel that I provide my consumers, high quality services which leads to high organizational sales
in order to reduce organizational cost and manage economies of scale. It is my responsibility to
effectively maintain proper coordination with other employees and management so there is a

lack wastage of time and money to deliver better and unique quality of service. (Jones, 2013)
Moreover I also need to attend regular meetings and share new ideas for improving the overall
business growth. Being a service oriented company innovative and creative ideas to provide
better quality of services enhances business competitiveness in the market thus I effectively
focus on attaining the same. I manage a strong communication with customers to develop
significant relationship. Employee communication is managed within all departments through
follow up action plans, team meetings, efficient usage of all system and maintain it full
knowledge about safety and security procedures, participate in training session which are provide
by Hilton hotel (Kelly, 2012).
1.2
In order to manage the competitiveness within the economy I have developed a significant
competitiveness and development aspects in the economy. My personal strengths includes the
ability to effectively communicate with the guests to build a strong image and loyalty in their
minds. I work as a team to accept changes in environment thus has developed quick and effective
learning attitude in the market. I am a soft spoken person and can speak different to deliver a
unique quality of services. I regularly update myself with new technology to enhance my
compatibility with modern means of working. The major weakness comprises of the aspects
when I am unable to deal with the conflicts. Also I have analysed that my stress management
quality is ineffective for business development hence I need to efficiently enhance the same.
On the other hand, my opportunity to improve my performance and develop my
personality can help me a lot in efficiently adhering the future business expectations. I can
improve my communication skills by attending foreign courses and dealing with foreign clients
and agents. My knowledge can be improved by attending regular session of training and also
through better use of digitalization technique (Komarraju, Dollinger and Lovell, J. L., 2008). My
Major weakness is that I cannot deal with high temperament of guest which affects my
performance quality. Also sometimes I am not able to attend France and Germany guest because
of low command on these language which affect company performance as well as it gives
negative impact on my performance. In order to effectively work upon the stated issues I will
take professional classes and expert advice on the issue mentioned. Moreover my introvert
personality has affected my identity in the organization as other employees does not respond me
and I am not much interact with all employees in my team members. (Mitchell, et.al., 2014) .

1.3
As analysed in the above section that there are some effective strengths and weaknesses in
my performance which has helped me to become an effective and efficient employees of the
business at the same time few attributes has set development aspects for me. For example as an
employee of a company my weakness is that I cannot attend French and German people so
Hilton hotel should conduct a program and training session in which employees learn languages
of another country they focus on individual performance so that I can learn different language
which can improve company as well as employees performance leads to increase in revenue and
sales. Moreover better communication with guest gives a great chance to increase customer
loyalty and employees deliver better quality of service to them. Hence Hilton hotel should take
necessary steps to overcome employee issues within the organization.
Recommendation for improvement in my weakness
In any business organisation there are problems and alternative solution to resolve the
issues in effective and well defined manner. In order to ensure my own development and growth
in the business I will adopt the following measures:

Developing problem solving behaviour – First organisation understand the problem if they
think that the problem is crucial they have to know how problem is discovered and breakdown
the problem into a segment so it can easily rectify problems (Moura, et.al.,2013)
Undertaking life long learning- After identify problem we need to solve them so after it various
alternative develop to solve problem .It requires intellectual thinking process that will lead a
better solution are come out . Evaluating various alternative solution by comparison with the
problem which more effective or which is less effective for a organisation to solve a problem

Enhancing positive attitude– sorting out a best solution to solve a problem which also requires
a knowledge and experience and remove those solution which are not work to solve such

problem the best idea they select and with the remaining solution put them into action to solve
organisation problem .
