Introduction
This report also discusses the weakness as well as strengths of an individual. This report also
makes the action plan, which has been practiced for improving the skills of leadership. From the
application of leadership skills, I would also be able to evaluate my leadership style and practice
it at the working place.
My Work Experiences and Leadership Challenges
The leadership is the method wherein a leader is would be responsible for a leading group of the
attainment of particular aim and objectives. I got certain chances of leadership in my personal
life. The skills of leadership supported to reshape my life. The leadership skills could directly be
affected by the behaviors of the consumers (Allison, & Goethals, 2014). By implication of the
leadership style, I have been honored to conduct suitable behavior to the different culture of

people. As the leader of the team, I analyzed that a leader could be confronted with many
problems, which could be related to the attainment of the company’s task. Furthermore, it is
evaluated that a leader of the company could play an effective role, which enables to meet the
aim and objectives of the research issue. A group leader would be accountable for making trust
and got a higher outcome. I appointed in the Rural Water supply project in Nepal. Herein, I lead
some members for 2 years, which could be accountable for the attainment of the organizational
goal (Drescher, Korsgaard, Welpe, Picot, & Wigand, 2014). From the last 24 months, I lead to
the team members for the attainment of the organizational task. It could also directly affect the
performance of water supply department. It was very difficult for me effectively direct to the
different culture of people in the same direction and increase the probabilities of getting a
reliable outcome. I also improved my skills due to obtaining higher competitive advantages
(Foti, Hansbrough, Epitropaki, & Coyle, 2017).
Leadership Journey and leadership styles
I confronted many problems, which could create conflict at the working place and directly
influences the overall outcome of the study. Recently, I worked as a close member of the team.
For declining this issue, I conducted many meetings and consider views of a member of the team
in the process of decision making. The primary purpose of collecting opinion of others, which
will facilitate to the employees to be the part of the group. It could also facilitate to enhance
skills of leadership. Herein, I was accountable for reflecting the particular aim and objectives of
the group. I deeply evaluate leadership styles for effectively implementing suitable leadership in
the team and meet the aim. It could also lead to getting a reliable outcome (Kelly, 2014). As a
team leader, I was accountable for the overall performance of the firm, hence I managed each
activity of the working place. I inform to all the employees for the attainment of the

organizational task. I clear everything about their allocated work for the attainment of the
organizational task in the least time and cost. For this, I decided weekly and monthly target for
each member of a group of the team. It was made for a declined specific issue. Initially, I
concentrated on making weekly target for my team member but after some times, I observed that
this tool develops the pressure between workforces and group member, which could directly
affect to the overall conclusion. This situation could negatively impact on the overall
performance of the outcome (Koryak, Mole, Lockett, Hayton, Ucbasaran, & Hodgkinson, 2015).
For declining the pressure of employee, I used 3 months evaluation method in which I used to
evaluate the performance of the individual and make a decision accordingly. Herein, I also
practiced the 360-degree feedback method to eliminate group concerns by decreasing my
drawbacks. This technique will enable the researcher to meet the aim and objectives of the
research matter. As the leader, I practiced the open conversation tool wherein the individual will
be accountable in declining the possibilities of eliminating conflict in the firm. From the
application of the open conversation, the meeting could facilitate to declining the conflict to
improve the productivity of the organization (Lloyd, Clegg, & Crouch, 2015).
Importance and Implications of Feedback in my Leadership Journey
Gallup’s strength finder
Gallup’s strength finder tool is implemented to examine the drawbacks and strengths of mine,
which will lead to making a favorable result. The results supported to me to identify the
different strengths and weakness of mine. It could facilitate to affect to the overall development
plan of the leadership. Moreover, this tool is effective in directly conversing with others. It could
be effective in the attainment of the organizational task. Moreover, the primary purpose of
Gallup’s test is effective in conversing with other people. From the findings, I also observed that

I was calm in nature that supports to me for making a positive relationship with others. This
technique could be imperative for making a decision with respect to the current matter. I was
capable to easily talk with others and never easily influenced by any situation that would be
imperative in the attainment of organizational goal (Baltaci & Balcı, 2017).
Leadership development plan
The plan of leadership could be effective in providing an opportunity to determine my abilities,
drawbacks, and strengths with respect to leadership skills. It could facilitate to meet the short
term and long-term goal. It could be effective in the attainment of an organizational task. It could
be effective in declining my weakness and supported to being an effective successful leader. I
used Whittman GROW model in the declining weakness of mine and help to get favorable
outcome (Cashman, 2017).
Goal setting (G):
Initially, I determined both short and long-term objectives, which supports to work in one of the
direction and meet the team goal. In the upcoming 9 months, our group will be tried to meet a
group goal and make a feasible result. I tried to enlarge my team in the upcoming 3 months by
increasing the number of individuals in the group. It could be imperative in the attainment of the
organizational goal in the specified time and cost.
Reality (R):
From the evaluation of this factor, it is stated that eight employees or members are worked under
on me. I lead them for working on the same goal to meet the aim and objectives of the research
matter. I supported to make a favorable decision in the context of the current matter. I observed
that Rural Water supply department could support the specific area for getting a favorable
outcome. I observed that the water supply department of the firm is new as well as the

responsibilities of each individual are diverse which could create the conflict in the organization
that could directly influence the overall result. Therefore, I was responsible for each member of
the group could give their best effort in the working place that enhances the probabilities in
obtaining a result. It is examined that I decided 24 weeks of the time period for accomplishing
the specified goal (Farh & Chen, 2018). I also concentrated on make plan for increasing the
capability of the employees. My executive and individual member taught me for behaving well
at the working place. I also enhanced my understanding of the skills of leadership, which could
lead to getting a reliable outcome in the context of the current matter.
Obstacles (O)
The main aim of this problem is to examine leadership skills for improving the business
condition in the least time and cost. A person who is hired by the firm that could have some
skills, therefore, I consistently concentrated on performance in improving the firm productivity.
It could also directly impact on the organizational performance. The water supply section could
be influenced by the single small mistake of an individual, therefore, I concentrated on each
employee to eliminate the misunderstanding problems from the team. I communicated with all
group members about its assigned work as well as declined lack of clarity problems from the
organization (Gelard, Boroumand, & Mohammadi, 2014).
The way forward (W)
GROW approach is effective for improving the skills of leadership as it could lead to making a
favorable decision. This step could be imperative for resolving problems that are associated with
obstacles. It is examined that company might assure that group that has requisite of assuring the
best tools. On behalf of the existing performance, I analyzed that my group members will meet
180% of target that was a great achievement for me. It is evaluated that effective leader could be

accountable for team growth. It is evaluated that the company could focus on enhancing skills of
leader and support to get a favorable outcome. I feel responsible for the group performance and I
would try to be an effective performer of the firm. I practiced certain sources such as offline and
online sources in improving my own skills. It is examined that I would be part of many
workshops related to the leadership for attracting a large number of consumers to meet aim and
objectives of the firm without any conflict (Khan, & Adnan, 2014). It is evaluated that different
aspects of employees could direct to me in enhancing my capabilities and skills. It is examined
that competition level could influence the overall outcome. It could be effective in overcoming
the firm obstacles. For enhancing team performance, I enhanced my abilities to reach a favorable
conclusion. I got feedback from colleagues and mentor in improving my weakness that could be
possible by gathering the senior’s feedback. It would support me for improving competitiveness
to get a reliable outcome. It is evaluated that the responsibility of the water supply section is kept
by me as it supports to sustain the business (Farh & Chen, 2018). I decided 1 year of the time
period to decline drawbacks of an individual and supports to make a favorable decision.
Conclusion
As per the above discussion, it can be concluded that leadership is imperative in accomplishing
goal and aim in a systemic way. Leadership is an ability to inspire, direct, and manage the
activity of a team to accomplish the firm goal. It can also be summarized that leadership skills
can be identified as the personality and followers of the individual. It can be concluded that
effective leader could be responsible for team growth. It can also be summarized that this course
was imperative for improving my drawbacks, which leads to sustain the position of the firm in
the marketplace. This report also supports to critically examine the abilities of the leader about
the accomplishment of the organizational goal. It is also founded that the team leader could also
