Analysis of strength
At my workplace, I have observed that I have some of the leadership traits which can be helpful
to enhance my career in future. I have the competencies of handling team conflict,
empowerment, honesty and integrity.
In my organization, I have demonstrated the traits during the implementation of new technology.
I empowered other employees for accepting the change so that resistance to change can be
minimized. Honesty and integrity were also shown by me towards the management while
implementing the change related to technology.
In order to become an effective leader, it is crucial for me to adopt some of the effective
strategies. For this, I would learn from senior management to handle team conflicts in an
effective manner. In addition to this, I would set small and measurable goals to enhance my
empowerment skills so that I can become a transformational leader (Swamy &
Nanjundeswaraswamy, 2014, para. 4, pp. 58).

others by the principle of equality, responsibility and integrity.’

would be helpful in seeking and gaining various opportunities for others in the organization. By
achieving my set vision, I would be able to enhance my communication ability in authentic

understand their requirements and goals (Megheirkouni, 2016, para. 2, pp. 238).

Some of the effective actions in the plan would be taken to achieve the vision and become the
kind of leader that I want to be. In this manner, I would gain experience and knowledge related
to leading people and various projects. I would also enhance my communication skills and
ability by following an exercise schedule.
