Current/recent role, responsibilities, and leadership challenges in the organization

perform effectively and efficiently. I am currently working in the finance Dept of an ASX
Listed firm. Throughout the years, my supervisor has been actively seeking my advice

whenever transitions or problems are facing by my team. I have the skill of compulsions and
duty to execute the mission, and the capacity to connect as well as educate the team as a
realtor.
Different challenges that I faced at the moment derive from:
1. Execution of new systems-coping with transition resistance as well as, successfully
preparing together with, implementing the transition.
2. Anxiety about COVID-19-individuals is concerned regarding their health, availability of
products as well as, job security.
Key aspects of the leadership journey
In an existing company, I am performing as a leader where I have pointed out my
weaknesses. But, by participating in the lectures about leadership, I am competent to motivate
others to perform their act by my action and words. I have also constantly got challenges to
become a leader like I confronted issues to offer to back as well as, mobilize others to
perform their task because of mismatching ideas.
At the time of lecturers, I have pointed out that a leader can encourage others by
illustrating and motivate them. Along with this, I have pointed out that a leader could
motivate by implementing the practices on older adult learners as compared to telling as
compared to perform the task. Therefore, they could easily learn. As a leader, I would
struggle because of a lack of organizational competencies and confidence. My key concern is
the routine plan that keeps me emphasized on task. I also provided a longer time to make a
decision and evaluating the vision for the longer-term. It was challenging for me to attain
organizational objectives.
The results of the Gallup Strengths Finder and any other personality
16Personalities shows that I am 44 percent Extrovert and 56 percent Introvert as per a
psychometric personality questionnaire that I took. Responsibility, restorative, intellect, as

well as, ideation are things that I know about myself effectively. These are some feedback
that I obtained through friends as well as, colleagues.
They know that they can keep me accountable for any assignment allocated to me or
asked of me that I don't participate and enjoy discussions where, I do not see any benefit
through it; and that I enjoyed wandering off about the thinking as well as, interpreting
concepts. THE GRAMMAR AND HOW IT IS WRITTEN PLEASE
Gallup Strengths Finder has provided me confidence as well as, inspiration to further
grow those strengths to support me to accomplish significant elements in the potential time
(Zeike, et. al., 2019). It would also allow me to identify the places that I can perform at work
as well as, the places where, I need support can allow me more effective together with, more
competitive environment.
Key feedback that you have received from your partner
From the implication of the tool, it is found that my partner seeks that I have an
autocratic leadership style. This leadership style demonstrated that I am a task-oriented
person. This kind of leader could support managing the accountabilities of the organization
efficiently. This kind of leadership supported to complete the organizational target. It is found
that the team could as well as the workplace as well as wherein the standard is not meet.
Organizations are frequently taking initiative for improving the quality of work in the time. I
am especially talented in the leadership assessment role.
On the other side, cultural gaps resulting from dealing with people of distinct cultural
backgrounds and have resulted in several obstacles to leadership. Moreover, as a project
executive, I need to make sure that knowledge is correctly communicated
to different stakeholders hence they can comprehend and make sure that teams can work
together efficiently in different regions of the globe. For this research, this has not been the
situation (Romanova, 2016).

Along with this, I am excellent at finding issues and assessing others 'success against
KPI's. It is examined that I have not positive experienced with family members that affecting
on making personal relations. Besides, it is examined that I have 81% emotional decision-
making skills while only 19% of structured though procedures. It is also examined that
suitable gifted in the examination of management function.
It is illustrated that I am capable to determine issues as well as evaluating
performance. It is addressed that my key opportunities in the upgrading of the leadership
career, empathy, and emotional manage the team of others. It is examined those autocratic
leaders accountable to complete their tasks on time.
But, at the same time, rapidly transforming the atmosphere has resulted in leadership
problems due to delays in communication and it is resulting in obsolete knowledge operating
on the floor. To deal with this problem, a centralized database is developed to enable real-
time data sharing as well as, updating (pricing, amounts, and needs) (Marx, 2017).
It is examined that some people observed I can resolve issues with an innovative way
that is effective in getting higher success. On the other side, indecisiveness through
top management is contributing to lost opportunities, increased costs, as well as errors of
judgment. Furthermore, the organizational leadership challenge is to keep those people
(suppliers and staff) involved as well as encouraged to work despite the client's
unclear strategic direction (Goldenhar, Schwatka, & Johnson, 2019).
It is identified that there are abilities in learning as well as training that think that are
more reserve as compared to proclaims. Besides, it is evaluated that I have the capability of
maintaining organizational success. It is illustrated that personality could directly affect a
business process.

The implications of the feedback and your reflection on its significance
It is illustrated that COVID 19 has been concentrating on the implementation of new
phases. It is examined that examination of new procedures which is dealing with the
planning, executing, and changing effectively. The following factors demonstrate the
implication of feedback:
Influence:
From the collected information, it is examined that I am capable to attract my
teammates at the time of changing in an organizational structure. It is illustrated that I made
an effective relation with teammates by collecting opinions and views of recent procedures. I
gathered opinions and views of the employees towards the organization and make
modifications caused by retains their employees for the long term. It is evaluated that
individual observation, as well as factual data, have shown that I am capable to attract the
number of people in the least time (Cardona, Rey, & Craig, 2019).
It is illustrated that I always consult with my teammates and understand needs as well
as desired results for engaging them in the discussion as well as create the ownership result. It
will support to teammates for feeling them as they are part of the team. It can also be
examined that the contribution of a team could be effective for making an effective outcome
(Kozlova & Volkova, 2019).
Motivate
From the collected information, it is observed that because I use feedback as one of
the strategies to control the team. From the implication of Marlowe's hierarchy of need
theory, I w was able to inspire my teammates and lead them for meeting their target.
Realizing whatever they want, I can draw into their emotional needs of identification and
give them hope of motivation because, it is collaborating towards the same aim of

introducing a method that will make me more effective (Ghossoub, Nadler, & El-Aswad,
2018).
I am in a place to be more likely to achieve it. It will also play into self-fulfillment
desires of employee-that if the execution is positive, they will believe they have
accomplished something (Schad & Smith, 2019).
Inspire
From the feedback, I observed that I have the capability to provide good work ethics
and attractive qualities that are effective to inspire others by considering leadership (Houdek,
2017). Also, combine this with open communication, there is a need to approach the team
members as individuals can understand by their interests, promoting involvement, believing,
respecting and trusting, and expressing gratitude either verbally or by incentives (Mazzarol &
Reboud, 2020).
Conclusion
Based on the above analysis, it could be summarized that leadership is a method that
significantly offers a direction for a leader in achieving both specific tasks as well as, goals. It
can be shown that leadership skills in the workplace may lead, monitor as well as, direct to a
team member. It could help to accomplish the organizational goal.
Concerning the above interpretation, it can be concluded that leadership ability is
defined as a personality that may be essential in obtaining greater competitive benefits. It can
be summarized that there are some specific obligations for effective leaders who have guided
team development.
This report facilitates in identifying my vulnerabilities and helps me to undertake
beneficial judgment in the light of business performance. It could be concluded that the team
leader has responsibility for leading team members as well as, inspiring their friends to
successfully meet their goal.

Recommendation
For me, the leadership program helps identify my strengths, weaknesses as well
as, managerial skills. This may be helping me to reach my present moment as well as long-
haul goals. It can easily decline my shortcomings even as it makes it accountable to become a
respected leader within an organization. I have also updated the Whittman GROW model to
keep a strategic gap from my weaknesses within the quickest possible period.
I created a growth plan for leadership to achieve these goals. Therefore, it would
contribute to improving my results. Besides this, it is mentioned that I have strengthened my
comprehension of different research actions which lead to an improvement in the company's
productivity (Chen & Rybak, 2017). I have performed several activities as they related to
team management, negotiation, communication, and conflict management (Sauid, et. al.,
2018). It will have a direct effect on the efficiency of an organization.
I read dozens of books, posts, online together with, offline sources to obtain the
information for the organizational reason (Bacharach, 2018). It is reported that I wanted to
develop my leadership competencies for 2 years which would impact my organizational
target. I should implement a lot of hypotheses and patterns to strengthen my weaknesses as
well as, creates a successful decision (Bich & Thai, 2019). Being a good leader in the
company will be important.
