Skills
There are three competencies that are very important for success (Sazena, 2015).
These are very important for lead effectively to a global environment as it determinations
success for their business commands.
Listening
Listening is the ability to develop a future vision. A leader is destined to build
incremental improvements. The leader has a vision for the future and puts a strategy in
motion by executing and alter the course and fortunes of a business. They have external
awareness by a sense of trends, changes, and development in the world outside of the
organization. Observant can new insight is gained. Set vision helps to lead by self-imposed
constraints. It is important to think outside the box for organization success. This helps to end
up by gaining new perspectives and insights on business (Lafley, 2009).
Sensing
Sensing is an essential skill for lead successfully business organizations. This ability
helps to make the decision with incomplete information. New future vision requires heading
in uncharted waters. There is no method to hold all details before action is taken. This is
necessary for risk tolerance. A leader cannot be excessively risk-averse. It is a key to
minimize risk if things did not go according to plan as all is not lost. This is significant to
consider the many possible scenarios and review each result. Decision making with all
information needs a leader to be clear about the underlying problem as not to address a
symptom instead. The ability of a leader in decision making is looked in point as the
sometimes decision must be made without having all pieces of a puzzle (Drucker, 2005).
Observing
It is a very important skill that a leader must possess. This is an ability to persuade
and influence. For this, they gain trust and respect of the organization and it is earned over
time and determine as a person observe the way to conduct on a daily base. The trust level
and respect that person possess for great impact with the degree to influence. The aspect of
influencing others related to facts that people buy emotionally. This is important to have the
vision and oversight to make a decision without facts and master the ability to influence
others (Watkins, 2015).

Lack of skills
This is perfectly a valid query to ask for making a career. This is determined by the
critical factor of feedback. Personal insecurity was not something that leader critically share.
Self-doubt related to limits my skill and knowledge that was bottled up in heart and mind. To
lead the organization effectively it is important to manage the paradoxes with the sense of
comfort by the vulnerability. For this is important for me to develop and understand the role
by the set of corporate destination and deliver direction towards answers. There is a lack of
deep sense to observe the right people in advance with the right behavior to promote stage for
a creative and innovative culture. For building a career, it is essential to create the future with
imagination to do things differently. Fails to listen actively present the sense to miss signs of
dissatisfaction and apathy.
Identification of shortage skills
Office coworkers from different culture recognized shortage skills by take a closer
look at performance by identifying skills gap. It includes data gathering to determine
competency gaps and root causes that are important for addressing.
Methodologies
Methodologies with a different perspective of issues provided insight within the
perspective of issues. Many data sources with various cross-validate data confirmed analyzed
the result with ultimately properly ratify and identify the gap of skill.

competency gaps within the business. Assessment within the real scenario of work defined
the skill of gap.

by the direct report and include everything. It is determined by the particular feedback and
