Naturally occurring data
The information regarding the naturally occurring data is collected through the existing sources
of the company so that the favorable and the relevant data can be attained. To meet the aim and
the goals of the organization this information is needed. In the company Woolworth different
kind of methods is used such as conversation and emails so that the naturally occurring data can
be considered. With the help of these sources I can easily collect the data and can also easily
communicate with the executives. This method helps in achieving the goals of the organization.
Information communication is the best way to communicate with the employees as it helps in
solving the conflicts at the working place (Martín-de Castro, 2015).
Communication techniques are very helpful at the working place as it shares the opinion sand the
beliefs to the sender and the receiver for the particular issue. The thought process of the company
can also be improved with the help of this effective tool and it also helps in meeting the goals
and the objectives of the organization (Turabik and Baskan, 2015). There are two kinds of tool
which are used in the organization which is direct as well as indirect. Indirect communication the
conversation is done face to face which helps in building the relationship in the company and
also helps in improving the behavior of the individual. In the indirect communication tool, the
communication has been done indirectly such as through the email. With the help of this
communication tool the employees can make the relevant decision in the company and can
exchange the information. Moreover the information communication enhancing the indirect
sources of communication instead of direct face communication which is done through sources
such as social media sources, emails, telephones, etc. The written information is always
considered more valid in the companies so emails are the best source of communicating with the
employees and it helps in analyzing the depth information about the concerned. Email is also
considered as valid in the informal communication as it is cost-effective and information is
shared at written so considered as more relevant than the direct communication (Micklich, 2014).

As stated above I have also analysed that I have some weakness which needs to improve so that
goal can be achieved in the organization more easily. I always forgive; let go people and very
much sense so I have to overcome those factors. My relatives and crew members think that I
have a lack of confidence and hope so it leads to declining the productivity of the company.
Misplaced within the chosen organization
By collecting the above information it is analyzed that I can take the good decision in the
company which will lead the organization to fulfill its goals on time. I can cut down the cost of
the company and can complete the organizational task on time. The goals of the company can be
met when there is effective communication in the company (King, et al. 2010). Moreover, my
crew members and the relatives give their feedback in regards to my personality through which
my capability of teamwork is also enhanced. I always work as the team and encourage them to
complete the task on time.
I can maintain suitable behavior with the others as I have some past experiences in the other
organization. I have some weakness but I am focusing on such factors so that I can overcome
them. In the workplace of the company I have supported the favorable environment which
reflects my capability of the gratitude competency. In addition to this, there is lack of hope in me
as it was evaluated by my relatives which decline the business growth of the company. My
behavior was much analyzed by my family or relatives so they share actual opinion and thoughts
about me. I have one lack in my career which is that I cannot motivate the other person to attain
the goals which basically affects my career (Van de Ven and Rogers, 2016).
Self-improvement
There are several motivational tools which are used by the organization which helps in
improving the performance of the employees and also evaluate the retention level of the
employee. It is also analyzed that the organization uses the motivation tool to motivate the
employees for the growth of the company. It is also helpful for the company in enhancing the
performance which also leads to increase the profit of the company.
This tool is imperative for enhancing the growth of the company. This tool not only motivates
the employees and enhances the success of the company but also leads to increasing the profit. If

there were any policies which are affecting the performance of the company or which is affecting
the efficiency of the employees then it is evaluated to meet the organizational task of the
company. The senior executives of the company should take the relevant decision by
considering the opinion of everyone and should develop a reliable result. When the executives
make the relevant decision in the company then effective relationship is also build-up. Along the
with the communication skills the executive has to focus on many other skills also such as
interpersonal skills, personality, etc. so that the result can be enhanced more effectively (Wright,
2017).
By establishing the communication and motivation tool in the company, the financial condition
of the Woolworth Company has increased. As the market is very diverse so the higher
competition in the market affects the profitability and the growth of the company. So the
profitability of the company is affected by the diversification in the market (Homburg, et al.,
2017). The performance of the organization is also getting affected due to the different culture of
the employees. If the communication is not effective in the company then the relationship will
not be build up and the profitability can be declined.
The organization has to improve their communication skills so that a good relationship can be
build up and effective decision can be taken in the organization. The company should have
motivated employees who can take the risk and can handle the diversified market for attaining
the goals of the company (Morschett, et al., 2015). The executives and the top manager of the
company has to give the proper guidance to their employees so that they work in the right
direction. The workplace of the organization should be environment-friendly so that employees
feel motivated and they work with full of concentration.
Conclusion
From the above report, it is analyzed that the employees are an important asset of the company as
they operate the various functions in the business process. The personality of the individual is
evaluated in this report which the help of the two effective tools which are MBIT and SWOT
analysis. In addition to this it is evaluated that the performance of the company is getting
affected due to communication, leadership, and motivation. If these three factors are effective in
the organization then it leads to increasing the efficiency of the employee.
