Results
As per my evaluation about asking someone (who is my sister), who knows me very well, the
results are being evaluated. Considering:
a. Influence: As per my sister, it is one of those factors on which every person agrees too. I
am an emotional person who is always carried out by the thoughts of happening anything
wrong. Whenever my friends try to take me to anything wrong, I get easily influenced. It
is tough for me to deny which makes me a complete failure. It is important for me to take
my decisions myself and suppress the compressing power of others.
b. Process: As per my sister, I have a strong power to convince my parents for any new
clothing or gifts. I am happy when they are easily carried away by my thoughts and take
me and my sister for shopping. There is a requirement of improving such skills as well so
that some other people do not take due advantage for the same.
c. Relationship: As per my sister, to improve the work relationship, my sister has always
asked me to be a good listener and try to communicate. But due to the shy nature, I am
hesitant to talk to the different groups, with different thoughts, as some of their thoughts
ruptures my feeling to understand the point.
d. Service: As per my sister, I always try to help the other people as and when needed
without anything in return. This is bad sometimes, because people start taking due
advantage and then this leads to the issues both at work and home.
Insights
As per my evaluation, I feel that my sister knows me better on all the matters than I do. She
understands me very well and I have to take all her points into consideration so that I am able to

handle myself. On the points related to the influence and relationship, it gets tough for me also to
handle the decisions taken by the others and be influenced by them. Sometimes, the relationship
improvement helps me getting my work done easily and it helps me closer to the other people as
well. The processing is also a best quality according to me, where at work, it becomes easy for
me to proceed with the different standards in an easy manner. Along with this, I am also
handling the different processes which are encouraged by the different people at work. The
services that I deliver to the customers are important to be of the best quality and for this, it is
important to improve the level of customer satisfaction. This comes with the development and
implementing some of the effective strategies. They are based on the concerns related to the firm
working towards the targeted marketing areas.
As per the evaluation from my friends, there is certainly some other feedback when it concerns
to maintain the relationship. According to my friends and colleagues, the judgement of them is
that due to my shy nature, I stay to be a good listener only, and do not represent my opinion. In
corporate world, it is important that the individual works towards the working and improving the
standards by properly communicating. The power to convince my manager and the other
colleagues also get low as there is no proper relation that could be maintained with them.
Conclusion
Hence, the leadership qualities are important for an individual as this not only helps in the
improvement of the life of an individual but effectively work on the concerns that relate to
provide the best services to the customers as well. (Bolman & Deal, 2017). Leadership is
important for the proper growth and the judgement that leads to handle the marketing areas as
per the concerned progress. The work processes are based on working over the ways where the

people are important to execute the different things and work towards the improvement of the
planning and the decision-making process. (Daft, 2014).
