emotional and behavioural process. Evaluation helps to identify various strength and weak areas
that plays important role in attaining determined goals and objectives in efficient manner. It
helps to develop various skills and review effectiveness. In reflective essay various factors are

individual to perform in defined manner to attain task with efficiency. This report covers
reflection based on critical thinking about my potential strengths as well as difficulties in

Part-1
Description and analysis of results
As per my point of view managing people is the most difficult task which is related to
developing, organising as well as solving their problems for attaining determined goals and
objectives in efficient manner. I have analysed that there is range of skills are required to
mitigate personality clashes among team members for the purpose of developing effective
performance management strategy. I have analysed that there are various situations are raised in
business that need to be handled in efficient manner for leading all business operations in right
direction. In business different background and characteristics employees work together that
create problem for managers to manage them and influence to perform in the direction of
attaining business goals and objectives (Chow, and Luzzeri, 2019). As per my point of view, in
business different people-management styles are implemented that help business to lead its
employee in right direction. I have researched that there are various people management styles
such as autocratic, democratic, persuasive and laissez-faire that are adopted by the organisation

according to business structure and operations. I have analysed that there are different aspects of
leadership behaviour that are used by organisation and leaders react them in different manner
according to situations.
If I was the leader of organisation than it always trust group member and include them in
decision-making process because they can help in taking effective decisions. I have pay attention
on some things such as I would like to become spokesperson in group that enhances my
communication skills. As a leader of team, I would provide freedom to members to compete
their work with efficiency, encourage them to use uniform procedure, permit them to use their
judgement for solve problems, I lead group efforts and take responsibility through becoming
representative of group (Jain, and Nair, 2019). I have pay attention on conflict that are occur at
work place, motivate team members to take initiatives attain determined goals and objectives in
efficient manner. All these actions reflects my strengths which improves my personality such as
problem solving skill, influencing skills, leadership skills and decision-making skills.
As per the results, I have analysed that leaders perform some things occasionally in
organisation to lead team in right direction like as a leader, I would provide my ideas in group
and work hard for promotion, develop planning regarding how things are perform in defined
manner and assign particular task to group members as well as provide them authority to
complete task in well-defined manner. I have analysed that as a leader I would never encourage
to work hard, needle members to put great efforts, push to increase production and various other.
All these results, I have analysed that all these all these decisions and actions that are taken by
leader influence the current people-management style of organisation. According to results, I
have analysed that if leader adopt these approaches than they can conduct business operations in
most efficient manner and motivate team members to perform defined operations in best possible
manner (Kononowicz, and van Wassenhove, 2019). I have adopted the leadership which is
driven by the thee objectives such as build strong relationships, inspire team members to deliver
quality outcome as well as adopt changes in business and react them efficiently to attain
determined goals and objectives on time. In the process of managing people I have interacted
various people who are similar and different from my personality. I have used my strengths to
manage them in efficient manner and faces various difficulties to manage different people such
as communicating with them, managing conflicts within team that are raised due to differences
in opinion, formal planning, stage-management strategic thinking and monitoring. I have

analysed that all perspective of people and lead them accordingly that enable them to perform
defined operations in right direction.
As per the results, I have analysed various things that improves my strengths as well as
reflects weak points in some situations. I have believed that most of problems are solve
themselves and most of time I think that it is really hard to change the opinion of people. As per
the results, I have analyse that people done various things which is right in their opinion.
According to the survey, it is resulted that some people are born lucky because they have extra
characteristic and quality that different them from others (McNiff, 2017). There is question
raised which is related to most of the time people think that getting good results meant a great
deal to them by in survey, I found that majority answers no for this question that means that
accept failure and learn from their mistakes. Some time I have blamed for the things that are not
fault to hide my internal insufficiency which is my weak are that need to be improved for
accepting mistakes.
I believed that it is not necessary that if person studies hard than he can clear any
examination because just study is not only the factor which is needed to get success apart from
that other things such as analytical skills, writing skills as well as interest also matters to clear
exam of any subject. I have believed that some its it is right to does not pay attention on specific
things because some things are never turn out in right way (Pambudi, Darmawati and Insyastuti,
2020). I have leaved these things and pay attention on other things that are more important from
it and lead my efforts towards attain success. I have conducted primary and secondary research
to gain opinions of people regarding some concepts that enable me to take efficient decisions and
run operations in right direction. It helped in my personal life as well to attain determined goals
and operations with efficiency and effectiveness. As per the survey, I have analysed that of
people start their day with positive attitude then it is going to be good day for them because they
look all thing with positivity and focus on finding suitable answer than taking stress. From my
perceptive, parents are not listen their children point of views and take decisions on their behalf
which is not right because it reduces their performance and effectiveness due to lake of interest
in specific work. I have emphasised on supporting team members through provide them proper
guidance and training that lead all group efforts towards attaining determined goals and
objectives efficiently.

According to survey, it is analysed that parents have strong opinion regarding something
which is quite difficult or impossible to change their opinion. As per my perceptive, parents
should take decisions of their children decision because they know what is best for them. I have
analysed that the most important the best way to handle some problems are just not thinking
about them because they will be resolved without paying attention. I have realised that there is
no more choices for me to decide who are my friends because I have few friends who support me
in my difficult situations. It is not necessary that if you put strong efforts in some specific actions
than you got desirable outcome so, everyone must be prepared for both situations. As I manage a
team and lead their efforts towards attaining determined goals and objectives. If a person of my
age getting angry on me than I tried to find out the root cause of their anger and resolve it
maintain effective relationship among all team members (Sarfan,Cody, and Clerkin, 2019). I
have believed in good luck charms because they bring positivity as well as provide a hope that
because of that I have attained my desirable outcomes. I have a locket which is my good luck
charm, I keep it with me that make me feel that every thing will be good with me.
As per my point of view, it is right that people like an individual because of their action.
If someone act positively towards me then I also reflect positive attitude towards them.
Sometimes people are getting angry on other person not having any specific reason due to their
stress but it is not right thing because it impacts their relationship as well as it is quite difficult to
work with these kind of people. There is long time and efforts are required to change thing in
desirable manner, sudden changes are temporary so, doing thing today will not change which
might happen tomorrow (Sawin, 2017). I think that all good things are not happened because of
hard work some good things are also happened due to luck as well. If someone of my age want to
become my enemy than I tried to think about their point of view and resolve their
misunderstanding related to me. If some one not liking me than I analyse the things that they are
not looking in me than improve those things. As per my view it is important to be lucky than
smart because some time luck help to gain success.
