to provide the better skills to my team members. As this is the most required skills as
communication with the team members I the one of the important task. The team- oriented
leadership model used to state that the leaders must have the participation of the team members
in the decision-making of the company. As the leaders of the team I used to follow this model as
this helps me to have the better ideas from the team members. Some leaders are successful by
following this model as this makes the company to make the better decisions in order to grow in
the market. This model used to provide the coaching and training to the employees that helps

management capabilities are termed as the capacity of the leaders that helps them to run the

organization and have better decisions to achieve the goals. As the leaders of the team the

workplace. In order to work as an individual I need to develop my technical skills as this is the
most important skill in order to lead in the market. To improve this I will get the training of using
the new and innovative technology that helps me to have the better management activities in the
workplace (Donate and et.al., 2022). As the member and lead of the team I also have to manage
the work that helps me to have the proper working. By working on the passionate projects I will

working. Thus by having the proper planning of the leadership and development activities helps
