INTRODUCTION
Leadership and management both plays an active role in the organisation which helps the

TASK 2
Different types of Soft and Hard skills to run the events
To run the successful events following skills are required to employees so that they can
manage the affairs of the event planner in better way. The event planner is useful if they trained
the employees in the effective way. The soft skills which the event planner is used to run the
events is related to communication with other person or leadership skills which plays an
important role in achieving goals (Hartley, 2016). Leadership are more effective as through their
guidelines and support and through their reviews and judgement which they made helps the
employees to show the right path. They guide the employees that what is right and wrong and
helps to communicate with other team member so that they can easily discuss the issues and
factors which stops them to work smoothly.
In case of hard skills it requires technology advancement which helps the event planner to
deal with problems through online only. Usually due to changes in technology, computer are
must which is known by every person and that results in reflecting the working strategy of the
company. The employees of the company are to be trained so that they can learn new things
which helps them to bring new ideas and thought in their events o that they use it in their
business (Kyratsis and et.al., 2016). This results in bringing new changes in the event planner
and they can run their business successful for dealing their crucial matters through online.
Future skills and attributes requires in light to bring changes in technology.
Event planner can adapt the creative thinking skills which helps them in planning their
day to day activities in the different manner. As they are the event planner company, so they
have to be creative and unique by their thoughts and ideas (Jefferies and et.al., 2016). This helps
them to grow their business into large scale and are renowned by society through such activity.

In resect of bringing changes in future and skills in case of development of technology is
related to enhancing their services in more different way. In case of holding a meeting in the
conference room regarding the important discussion of doctors regarding the equipments which
they had to use at the time of treating the patient, that the services which are provides through
technologies should be in more effective manner and reflects the clear presentation (Cole and
et.al., 2017). With this method they can get help from the other authors and cal refer the cases
through online or video conferencing which results in solving the problems in better way.
Changes in factors in technology force the leaders to develop their leadership skills
Changes reflect to be the better part of every business and they also reflect the success
story of the organisation. In case of event planner the changes regarding the technology and
customers needs and wants can only be initiated by the leaders through their leadership skills
(Ford and et.al., 2016). The factors in relation to customers needs, wants and technology can
only be done by leader through maintain the trustworthiness regarding their work commitment
and proper communication skills.
Leaders role are major in every business and they have to take care of every employees to
provide proper training and guidance, so that they can work smoothly without any difficulty
(Frich and et.al., 2015). So leaders mostly initiated with the communication techniques to deal
with employees and also society to know their reviews and judgement regarding the services
which they are providing top them. This helps them to maintain more sustainable facts and ideas
and help them, to bring changes if any requires improving their services.
Development of the management and leadership skills contribute towards meeting the needs of
different stakeholders
Leaders are those people who communicate with all the management in the organisation
so that they know the vision and mission of the top management which they impose upon the
employees or helps the employees to fulfil such objective in more effective manner (Essential
Leadership Skills for Project Managers, 2019). The event planner at the time of taking any
project regarding holding any conference meeting of doctors and also discussion taken regarding
the treatment of patient with different techniques they have to implement their strategy and
discuss such matter with all the stakeholders of the organisation (Northouse, 2018). So that every

person have chances to know the techniques which the doctors had innovated to treat their
patient.
For e.g. If the events is organised to handle the marriage function than strong
management team and leaders are required to mange the affairs of that events. First they examine
the needs of the family regarding organising that function and what type of decoration they are
expected in that events (Hargett and et.al., 2017). As every couples prefer to have the unique
concept so in this case the management team had to bring different ideas and then they disclose
such ideas with the leaders which are further initiated by them in more different way.
Different leadership and management roles available within the event sectors.
Leadership and management both plays a virtue role in the organisation. In terns relating
to appointing them job roles, management of the organisation duty is to appoint an eligible and
knowledge person for that post and the role of leaders is to trained that person regarding the
work which company is committed (Cohen and et.al., 2019). These roles affect the leadership
style in very negative way as due to not communicating properly or neglecting any person in
relation to less eligible or knowledge that in that case of it affects the role of leaders and they are
not training properly.
CONCLUSION
From the above study it can be concluded that leadership and management skills play an
important role to achieve success in the event planner. Communication is the best way to deal
with every situation and the leader's role is to communicate with the top management
organisation, discuss their strategy and targets which they decided for the future growth of the
company and then they trained and motivated the employees accordingly to achieve goals.
Communication helps to overcome from all the problems and also it is considered to be the best
leadership skills in event planner.
