» LEARNING OUTCOME 1 : Be able to identify personal skills to achieve strategic
leadership ambitions
» TASK 1
AC 1.1 Analyse the needs, goals and aspirations of organisations and people involved in inter-
organisational strategies
GOOD PRACTICE:
In answering this criterion Learners should take cognisance of the STEEPV factors impacting an
organisation’s business units particularly if this involves multinational and international links. Learners
should look beyond the more obvious technological and political for example and review the softer issues for
example the values and beliefs, in other words, their world view (Weltanschuung).
A full answer could also comment on the alignment of the needs, goals and aspirations of the people
involved and their respective organisational entities. Some comments on autonomy and the effectiveness of
policy and strategy cascade from Group HQ to organisational entities would add to the answer.
YOUR ANSWER:
Each and every stakeholder of the company requires and understand their needs which has been explained
in detail with the help of Maslow hierarchy of needs theory according to which leaders can identify the
pathways in order to motivate their stakeholders. They are any individual such as clients, customers,
workers, suppliers, operational teams and so on. Every individual can be influenced by their own ways of
intrinsic and extrinsic motivators which include diversified kind of things such as bonuses and promotions
(Bryson and George, 2020). With the help of understanding these motivator indicators, leaders are highly
able to identify goals, requirements and aspirations of people who are involved within the inter-
organisational strategies as well as they are going to respond accordingly.
Employees are the ones whose requirements, objectives and aspirations are considered as the
foremost consideration among the organization. They are the most significant asset of any company and
thus, the firm become powerless without their workers in order to bring and produce appropriate products
and services into the market space. In context of workers as well, the company expect from them to
combine their personal goal with the company objective. But before doing that, the workers should be highly
familiar with the company goals and aims. This requires effective leadership through which one can familiar
with their team members with the help of different methods which includes interviews, surveys, getting
feedbacks, etc. to understand their needs. The company also have to show importance to their workers and
make them feel satisfied and valuable for the company.
In context of customers and clients, they both are also approached by the company in similar
manner. They should be highly respected and valued as their members of the community. This is the
primary reason due to which companies are highly focused towards corporate social responsibility concept.
The framework has the power to represent the community that the company is highly focused towards
company values and operations. CSR is a practice which is highly based upon the political, technological,
social, environmental and economic values and beliefs that any company community hold within themselves

(Ionașcu and et.al., 2020). They must be aware about the stakeholders beliefs and values in context with the
economic situation, technology, political, social and environmental scenes in overall context.
For example the Zambia sugar involves the communication strategy in order to develop
consistent methods to communicate the quality as well as delivery of appropriate goals to all levels
of employees. This way the leaders look forward for better ways to coordinate with initiatives
across different departments. On the other hand the Illovo group of companies adopts convergence
approach in order to do appropriate decision-making and creating new paradigm for employees in
order to enhance collaborative networks. This strategy helps the firm to build high amount of trust
level with the help of appropriate communication, prevent or resolve issues and challenges, provide
clear and appropriate directions, create better relationship, increase engagement level among
employees which also increases their productivity as well as promotes team building within the
company. As this strategy has various advantages and to get such benefits in future terms as well,
the company have to plan certain things which consistently help them to increase their productivity
which includes identification of target market, target consumers and unique selling proposition.
Moreover, the company have to match with their audience issues with product solutions along with
setting goals along with identification of path to measure them as well.
AC 1.2 Evaluate the strategic skills required of the leader to achieve the identified strategic
leadership ambitions
GOOD PRACTICE:
In making an evaluation, you could view skills in terms of behavioural competences and know-hows needed
to address strategic/critical business activities such as mergers and acquisitions; organisational redesign;
selection of partners and suppliers.
Reference could be made to some of the specific domain knowledge and expertise required for the job role
in order to achieve strategic leadership ambitions. Learner evaluation could further make reference to
writers such as Gareth Morgan (McGill) and future/21st Century management competences that include
dealing with ambiguity; working collaboratively, remote management, holism, environmental scanning and
identifying fracture lines.
A more developed response might further comment on the strengths, weaknesses and relevance of the
Anglo American management model and associated tools and techniques in Asia Pacific, EMEA and BIC
markets.
YOUR ANSWER:
The skills and abilities that are highly required by any leader helps them to identify their ambitions involves
the ability to deliver organizational justice, collaboration among within the company teams, communication,
adaptive leadership skills, emotional skills, social abilities, transformational leadership skills along with
administration capabilities. At primary level, organizational justice allows the leaders to grasp the truth about
the establishment. This is significant at the time when the changes are highly required. The leader who is
not able to recognize and accept the truth will be a leader who fails to implement the right type of changes
within the right time duration (Dabić and et.al., 2020). Another skills are that they must be able to facilitate
collaboration as they can highly able to create a team who works well with each other within an organization
and no company will be effective at achieving their goals if they fail to combine. Third one is the
communication abilities which are vital for an individual leader because ultimately they are the ones who can
transfer and share the necessary information among team members as per the vision of the task.

Communication is a two-way path that is capable to deliver healthy returns if they are taken into both
ways. Adaptive leadership styles are significant in overall context as they promote the development of
company through all ups and downs along with ensure that all the challenges becomes the opportunities for
them. Transformational leadership styles assist them in well manner as they enable the leaders to facilitate
the procedure related to change at the time when it is required. In context of emotional as well as social
intelligence abilities, both assist leaders to relate positively with their employees and provide them
appropriate support that is highly required for them to become productive in nature (Katsaros, Tsirikas and
Kosta, 2020). Basically, the administrative skills are the ones who enable the leader to manage their team
members into most effectual ways.
AC 1.3 Assess the relationship between existing, required and future skills to achieve the
identified strategic leadership ambitions
GOOD PRACTICE:
Here the assessment could build upon the response to assessment criteria 1.1 and 1.2 and take your
assessment to look at not just existing but also the required and future skills that will better enable mangers
to achieve the identified strategic leadership across the E2E Supplier Customer Chain and those issues that
have been previously identified.
YOUR ANSWER:
Relationship between the existing, required and future skills depend on the organisational culture
as if the company have the strong and supportive work place culture then it is sure for them to
continuously cultivate the productivity. As to address the political change and other environmental
change it is important for the leader to must have the relevant skills so that they can be able to
represent the better leadership to motivate the team towards the organisational goals and
objectives. For the future skill it is essential to have the communication skill which enable the
leaders to easily assign the tasks to the team members. Communication skills also enables the
leaders to converse with the different stakeholders in order to cooperate with the efficient decision
making process (Cobbinah, 2020). As for the strategic leader it is essential to have the vision,
perseverance and better decision making skills that makes them to stick and be consistent in the
tough situation. There are many chances when the leader has to make the strict decisions,
therefore their decision making and problem solving skill will make them to take out the best of the
situation.
E2E supplier customer chain where all supply process can take out which involves the procurement
of the raw resources to the manufacturing process and ends in delivering the products in the market.
Therefore leaders play an significant role in order to integrating the management and logistics
system. Thus skills off the leaders helps them in analysing the market factors and to utilise the
information system that guides in carrying out the best decision. It will be helpful if the organisation
provide the continuous training and other development sessions which helps the leaders to
sharpen their skills and to make maximum contribution to introduce the innovation at work place
and to support the growth of the organisation. As market trends are changing which is emphasising
the technological factor in such it is important for the leaders to have the good technical skills as
well in order to manage the system (Chanpoom and Intrawong, 2019). Thus continue focus on
goals and vision will make the leader to be more responsible and it also makes them efficient to
cultivate supportive environment where the maximum employee engagement are found to support
company’s goals.

» LEARNING OUTCOME 2: Be able to manage personal leadership development to
support achievement of strategic leadership ambitions
» TASK 2
AC 2.1 Discuss the opportunities to achieve strategic leadership development
GOOD PRACTICE:
In discussing the opportunities to achieve strategic leadership development, the Learner could refer to the
overall corporate governance structure; policy and strategy cascade and the communications channels in
place. In other words, the context and environment in which opportunities to achieve strategic leadership
development can occur. Some comments on the constraints (theory of Constraints) and barriers in place
would add to the answer.
YOUR ANSWER:
Strategic leadership refer as the leader’s ability to plan and lead the team and to make best
out of the best utilisation of the resource to implement the strategy. Corporate governance mainly
empowers the businesses they are the driving energy for the efficient robust governance to reduce
the conflicts among managers and owners (Guzmán and et.al 2020). They demand the better
leadership to develop and implement the best strategies at work place. The context and
environment which cooperate with the strategic leadership development must involve the self-
reflection in practice. Also in organisation where the culture enables the workers and employers to
give feedback over the performance. It helps the leader in making the effectual decision for their
own as well as for organisational benefit. Environmental factor for the organisation can be dynamic
as at some point company needs to adapt certain and specific change for their betterment. Thus it
is the ability of the leader to adapt the change and also makes the all team comfortable towards
change, so it will help in maintaining the synchronisation at work place for better goal
achievements.
As the barriers can be lack of knowledge and skills which cause the hindrance in developing
the strategic leadership skills, it is important for the leaders to have better skills in order to lead the
organisation in order. If the organisational culture, structure is not supportive then highly skilled
leader can also fail. Thus it is important for the company to have the better and safer work place
culture which cultivates better leadership (Gausmann and Lima Ricci, 2020). Based on the theory
of constraints major barrier can be if the leaders are not determinant towards their work, then it will
cause barriers for them to set the goals for team, therefore blurred vision is another factor which
underestimates the organisational performance. Therefore, strategic leaders must have to possess
communication, decision making and other skills which helps them in analysing the opportunities
for further development and it will also guide them to carry out better leadership for the
organisation.
AC 2.2 Construct a personal development plan to achieve strategic leadership development
GOOD PRACTICE:
Here the Learner are required to construct a Personal Development Plan (PDP) to achieve strategic
leadership development. At this level Learners should be looking beyond the here and now and current

competencies and skills. This could include behaviours, underpinning knowledge needed to fulfil a job role
within their area of responsibility in context of their organisation and developing skills these might include
those less obvious skills for example language skills or emotional intelligence.
Learners might also set out the current and future requirement for requisite behaviours and know how’s
along with the associated dates by when these would be achieved and that this period of time indicate, short
medium and longer term objectives. Some might find it useful to undertake psychometric testing of some
sort to support their personal development and provide some base line assessment.
YOUR ANSWER:
Personal development plan helps in reflecting own practice so that further improvements can be
made accordingly. For the strategic leadership it is most important to have the enough knowledge
and skills to carry out the designated tasks.
Competency skills: To become a transformational leader
Thus for the transformation leader it is important to openness for new creativity and thinking
in order to introduce innovation and they always ready for accepting the responsibilities. They also
motivate their team members to make participation in different activities and to promote the
knowledge sharing.

AC 2.3 Devise an implementation process for the development plan
GOOD PRACTICE:
In devising an implementation process for the development plan answers would refer to an appropriate
implementation strategy; CSFs, Constraints and Assumptions and include resource implications and
possible plans to gain those resources that might be financial but could also include others and time
provision.
YOUR ANSWER:
The personal Development which has been prepared above will help me in achieving the
goals which has been set for learning them in the specific time frame. This has enabled me to have
the clear ideas and the goals for the future. It has able to know my personal strengths and the
weaknesses so by seeing this, the improvements can be made. This has helped in what all
resources will be required by me for achieving the goals which has been set. In order to implement
the above personal development plan, the resources which will be required by are mainly the time,
budget and the knowledge. It is very important to have the budget and the time for completing the
goals and knowledge for developing these skills. Like when I will be developing the problem solving
skills this will require knowledge as this will as for making the lists for the solutions of the problem.
Zambia Sugar providing the training in the organization for the development of the skills,
then they will also require the resources such as the budget, educators as this will help the leader
as well as the employees in the professional development. The budget will be required by the
Zambia sugar if they will use any software for providing the training to its overall workforce.
The organization may face the many challenges while providing the training to the workforce
such as they have to raise many funds for the training session of the development. The time frame
the company can achieve these goals may vary from the goals as some can be achieved in the 2
month and the other may take the 3-4 months. The Bench mark as well as many other tools of
measuring the performance can be used by the company for evaluating the progress of the goals.
» LEARNING OUTCOME 3: Be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategic
leadership development plan

» TASK 3
AC 3.1 Assess the achievement of outcomes of the plan against strategic needs
GOOD PRACTICE:
When making the assessment, Learners could start by making reference to strategic planning process
adopted by the organisation. For example, a deliberate or emergent strategy of the resource base views of
the firm (RBV).
This section can only be completed when some of the activities in the plan have taken place and will
possibly be in line with the review dates set out in the original plan. For this criterion you will note that the
objectives in the initial plan need to be measurable if they are to be measured and built upon as part of the
review process.
The plan also needs to consider the changes in the organisation or sector and may need to be reviewed in
the light of these. For example Learners might need to revise the plan in the light of the maturity of the
organisation. For example, a start-up; a mature or declining organisation as each type will require different
leadership styles and domain knowledge. Learners might also need to adjust to any changes made in
organisational style and culture and note that there may be cultural differences in business units and
different locations.
YOUR ANSWER: A strategic planning process can be explained as process through which the
leaders that works within an enterprise set out their vision in front of the whole organization that
they are going to achieve in future and determines the goals and targets with respect to the
organization. It has been determined that with the help of the development plan, the leaders of the
Zambia Sugar developed problem solving and decision-making skills within themselves within the
stipulated timeframe. However, the leaders have been finding it hard to enhance their
communication skills and negotiation skills within the mentioned timeframe. For the same, the
Zambia sugar needs to make certain changes within the development plan that can help the
leaders in improving the same. In order to enhance the communication skills, the leaders should
read as much as they can, learn new words and enhance their vocabulary along with the strategies
that have been mentioned in the plan. And, in order to develop the negotiation skills, it is essential
for the leaders of the Zambia Sugar to implement strategies that could help in enhancement of
communication skills as it is essential to develop the communication skills for the same.When it
comes to achieving strategic results from strategic needs, there must have to be something more to it than just
making a strategic decision. Strategic planning is said to be the process in which the leader of the
organisation elaborates the vision of the firm for the future and tells the goals and objective of the firm. The
strategic planning will be done enhance the strengths and to defeat the weakness the firm is facing the first
major problem the firm is facing is of better negotiation skills, for the increase in the source of funding the
firm needs to contact to investor for the percentage of company share in return of some money for this the
better negotiation skills are required so that the firm can acquire more money and give less percentage of
share of firm which will be very beneficial for the firm and by this the firm can acquire more money than
they can in sharing more share of firm’s. for this the leader’s of the firm have used the resources and have
also started to listen to investor point as well then they give their point which must have to be heavier than
the point of the investor’s. the second weakness is of decision making skills the decision making skill is very
important for the firm as well (Golensky Hager, 2020).
AC 3.2 Evaluate the impact of the achievement of objectives on strategic leadership ambitions
GOOD PRACTICE:
Again Learners will need to evaluate the impact of the achievement of objectives on strategic leadership
ambitions. A full answer could set this out in the form of a gap analysis indicating the gap between current
and future objectives and progress achieved towards meeting strategic leadership ambitions. The answer

could also indicate any constraints, assumptions, critical decisions and critical success factors (CSFs) and
measures (KPIs) associated with the achievement of objectives on strategic leadership ambitions.
YOUR ANSWER: The qualities required of a strategic leader can be used to identify the firm's strategic
objectives. A strategic leader should cultivate certain leadership abilities, according to ZAMBIA SUGAR
strategic goals. If the ZAMBIA SUGAR organisation undergoes any unforeseen changes, a strategic leader
must build new competencies to meet the new problems. Changes might be huge or little, gradual or abrupt.
As a result, none of the strategic leader could lead the organisation to success unless they have the necessary
competences. Strategic leadership qualities are essential for managing the organisation on behalf of
stakeholders and investors; these competencies give strategic organizational direction and serve as the
foundation for the mission statement. As a result, the ability to assess and analyse a growing strategic leader's
strategic competency is critical (El Toufaili, 2018). Leadership abilities may be honed and strengthened in
order to achieve critical strategic goals. However, these goals cannot be met if strategic leaders are
exclusively created within a particular functional area.Gap analysis is an essential tool that focuses on two core
questions; “where are we? Furthermore, 'where do we want to be? “Gap analysis is useful when comparing the developing
leader’s actual performance and its potential performance. Any weakness or opportunity can be defined as a gap. Gap analysis
can help strategic leaders to priorities and understand the organization’s needs by identifying any shortcomings or inadequacies
in the PDP Focusing on the implementation plan in line with ZAMBIA SUGAR strategic objectives, and monitoring them
through gap analysis, ZAMBIA SUGAR can successfully navigate the organization into the right strategic direction. In Table
four, an in-depth gap analysis has been designed to support and strengthen the evolving strategic leader.
AC 3.3 Review and update the leadership development plan
GOOD PRACTICE:
In reviewing and updating the leadership development plan, Learners could review the relevance of the
current leadership development plan in context of the emerging STEEPV factors impacting at a national or
international level or based on a change in personal goals or opportunities.
YOUR ANSWER: Reviewing up the plan of leadership allows the Zambia Sugar senior team of the
management to enhance the growth of the strategic leadership strategy inside the firm’s environment. To
track leadership growth, regular assessment stages must be performed. The best practise is to analyse the
development plan with the use of the gap analysis in order to get to know the weak and the vulnerable areas
that need to be addressed. This improvement of the leadership plan's inefficient sections allows it to expand
and flourish to its full strategic potential Regular assessments by the help of academic supervisor and an
external mentor will highlight areas for development, and PDP progress may be tracked using this approach
(Saputra, Kusnadi, 2021).
The strategic leaders of Zambia Sugar can use the development plan to research and analyse areas of
commercial and financial value that will enable future advancement to a more marketable product. The
external mentor's findings and the gap analysis are used to assess the development plan's progress; this
expansion will reinforce and align the organization's strategic direction in its present or future function.
Measuring progress toward specified objectives will help the ZAMBIA SUGAR leadership team to assess the
development plan's strengths and shortcomings, as well as identify areas where improvements may be made.
It becomes evident how the leader may proceed to the next strategic aim by focusing on essential job-related
components of the development plan, and by assessing what the future educational skills are needed, the
development plan can change with the direction of the external mentor. The Zambia Sugar team of the
leadership development may use this external mentorship and coaching to see what future training and
development needs are needed for the strategic leader's future growth.
Setting fresh, attainable strategic aims and objectives, as well as researching additional training and
development resources, will guarantee that the strategic leader gets the most out of the leadership plan. The
Zambia Sugar board of directors' yearly assessment will provide clear signs of how well the growth strategy
is performing. If the findings of the academic supervisor, external mentor, and gap analysis demonstrate that

the development plan is off track, resources that must have to be provided to make the necessary adjustments
and updates. Each of the department director must have to conduct a strategic planning meeting at the six-
month mark to devise a strategy for the PDP areas that are going behind the planned timescales. After an
assessment of the development plan reveals no substantial changes in the PDP or STEEPV environment, the
organization's strategic objectives are reached and attained.
