performed. In this report, construction of the patchwork analysis has been asked to prepare

Patch-1
Outward bound reflective evaluation
The outward bound is the organization which focuses on the development of the youth
and assists them to build leadership skills in their functioning. It is considered that leaders need
to understand all the internal and external factors of the business before implementing new
strategies and program in organization. This organization has main focus on developing the
leadership and team building intents in each and every youth (Miller, 2015).
Self-reflection
Throughout my time in Outward Bound, I have learned several learning programs which have
helped to develop my personality and made me more employable. The one of the best course
which I took from Outward Bound was related to leadership program. In this program, I was sent
on the practical learning training in ABC Company. This company is accompanied by the
complex set of activities in which various function are performed. I was hired their as
probationer management trainee. In that company, I was assigned work of instructing employees
and assist management department to formulate strategies. However, I had to face lot of
problems and issues in the starting to work with the team. The main problem which I faced was
related to understanding the organizational culture and working format of that organization.
Nonetheless, I adapted myself to the organizational culture of ABC Company and cope up with

the all the new changes and business factors. I had to assist 40 employees to perform their work
in effective manner. I identified that some of the employees were facing conflicts while working
in group. I used my own leadership intents and helped them to find mutually accepted solution to
reduce their problems and conflicts in determined approach. After that case, I realized that I am
very efficient in getting work done from others in effective manner. In addition to this,
throughout my work in that organization, I was assigned independent work to do which I had to
complete within the assigned deadline (Miller, 2015). I took the help of 20 employees and
instruct them to complete that task under my surveillance and instructions. I realized that if I
could understand each and every employee’s value, perceptions, wants and needs then I could
easily convey them to do particular task. I needed to work with them as group or team to deliver
best level of results. Nonetheless, problems like corporation and coordination’s have been faced
by each and every employee due to different level of perception of each and every employee in
team. Throughout my work I made proper follow up with each and every activity of employees
and motivated them for the better level of work. My motivation was very good help for them to
work as team and deliver best level of services to organization. I also learned that being a leader
I had to satisfy each and every employees demand and need to motivate them. Otherwise I have
to face failure in compliance in the desired level of outcomes. After that, in the end, our team got
the best result and we deliver the task within the assigned deadlines (White cotton, Libby &
Phillips, (2013)
Outcome of the experience in that organization
There were several best things which I learned throughout my experience in ABC
organization. I have learned how to act like leaders to establish proper coordination between
employees. The main theme of this developed program is related to leadership and cultural issues
faced by the employees in business functioning. I have learned how to get the work done in best
efficient manner (Sullivan et al 2014). I have learned that if I evaluate all the internal and
external factors of the business then I could easily increase the overall effectives of the business
an outcome of the organization. The one of the main challenge which I have faced is related to
increasing the overall outcome of the work while working in team. In this part of the report,
Patch-1 which is outward bound reflective evaluation has been discussed for the betterment of
the organization. My outward outcome of the business will increase the overall outcomes and

increase the efficiency of the business. It is designed that if being a leaders I could increase the
overall outcomes of the organization then it will not only assist me to increase the overall
outcomes of the business. I have learned coordination, corporation and team building intents in
business. This business functioning and my experience in this organization has helped me to
learn critical understanding and team building efforts through the time. It has helped me to
increase the overall outcomes of the organization. I have learned how to tackle employees in best
efficient manner. I have faced various issues and problems in my working which has increased
my learning and interpretation power. I had to coordinate with the 40 employees at the same time
to get the desired level of output from the business. I have also increased my working efficiency
by using proper level of managerial skills. This level of experience and my own working intents
have assisted me to develop effective leadership intents in my working (Fickler, et al. 2016).
Now in the end, I could infer that if a person could have theoretical and practical
knowledge in his working then he will surely learn various important aspects of working.
Leadership and team building sprit are the most required intents of the successful management
skills of the organization. I have realized that establishing proper coordination and effective
working environment is based on the strategies prepared after evaluating proper internal and
external factors of the business. This self-experience has helped me to understand the key
concept of business and how management works to get the work done in stipulated time manner.
I have learned that being a leader I have to understand each and every one’s aspects, values and
business functioning. I learned to work in team and also developed effective leadership intents in
my work. This level of working experience helped me to face various problems and issue and I
also learned to develop effective solution for the business (Finkler, et al.2016).
