UNIT 13 PPD
TASK-2

2.1 The current skills and competencies again
professional standards and organizational goals
Being a Team leader at Morrison, I need various skills and competenies
such as leadership, motivation, communication, decision-making,
conflict management and others.
Skill audit is the best way to determine my existing competency level
and areas where I lack, so that, necessary actions can be undertaken
to bring improvement in my performance.

Contd.
Being a TL, I need to communicate plans, ideas and strategies
which require effective communication skills. After
performing skill audit, I found that I have good
communication as well as presentation skills. I am enough
confident in such areas.
Besides this, I also discovered that I have strong time-
management skills, and I am able to finish work on set
deadlines. It is because, team-working and staff motivation
helps to complete work on right time.

Contd
However, there are few areas where I noticed poor performance. As
I am not able to make quick decisions, however, considering
current dynamic market situation, companies need to respond to
the market changes quickly otherwise, they cannot grab the
benefit of market opportunities. Therefore, it is the main area
where I need to bring improvement so as to make rationalized
decisions.

Being a TL, I have been assigned with the prime responsibility to lead all the
team members, however, poor leadership skills questioned my
performance, hence, required improvements.
Conflicts can also take place in the team which creates negative environment
in the team and affects other members too. Although I tried my best to
overcome such conflicts, still, people are not satisfied with my decisions.
Therefore, I need to focus on improvising conflict management skills and
maintain good bonding among all the members.

development. By attending various seminars and learning programs the

effectiveness such as decision-making, time-management and others can
be improved.
