MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP PLAN, AN EXPERIENTIAL PROJECT

Research Part A

Being a leader in the future has always been my dream. Class learning has enabled me to

explore more about leadership and exposed to how leadership is done in different contexts. In

reference to class learning, I came across the following items which have interested me and I

believe will enable me to become a better leader in the near future. These inter alia include:

Gaining knowledge about the organizational behavior and appreciate the

developmental skills of analyzing behavior associated with the real-world cases as construed in

chapter one. This has helped me to understand my position in society and the best what is

expected of me (Samhain,533-544).

Chapter two has exposed me to barriers that exist in an organization. Further,

different organizations are characterized by different cultures. As a leader, it is crucial to uphold

and respect diversified cultures in an organization for different people of work in an organization

meaning the presence of different cultures so as to maintain the proper relationship at work.

Furthermore, chapter 3 has enabled me to understand myself and my neighbors. It

has equipped me with skills that shape my personality in order to impact desired behavior in an

organization. Therefore, this chapter has given me the best way of dealing with different

environments at any given time.

Moreover, chapter 4 has enabled me to gain knowledge about desired values,

emotions and the attitudes of an organization. Therefore, I have gained experience on how to

manage stress so as to work-life balance. Further, the chapter has enabled me to realize ways of

properly managing my health and that of the workforce in an organization. Thus this chapter has

helped me know the best ways to contain my attitude has helped me relieve problems related to it

i.e. depression, high blood pressure, illnesses, and anxiety.

In chapter 5, understanding my motivation and its nature has given me an ability to

remain focused and keep a forward determination without retracting as a leader.

Moreover, motivation in the organization as stated in chapter 6 has helped me to

comprehend the manner in which motivation works in an organization and also acquire skills of

how to motivate employees by giving them rewards and incentives providing goal settings and

best job design, this encourages employees to remain focused at work. I also learned that

employees by giving them incentives and various rewards, it will help in enriching their job

motivation.

In chapter 7, I have learned the best way of defining and differentiating several teams

and understand their benefits and costs and also gathered the ability to manage and promoting

the teams for effective performance. This has helped me realize the best benefits of teamwork in

realizing successful results.

With regard to chapter 8, I have developed knowledge of distinguishing problem-

solving from decision making together with knowing the rationale of decision making. And in

chapter 9, I learned the importance of having the best oral communication skills and the barriers

to it. This has given the ability to handle me in the most powerful manner in both media and

organizations.

I have gained knowledge of conflict resolution as opined in chapter 10. This has

given me the ability to know the best ways of containing bargaining and negotiating and

mediating on any dispute.

Leadership and skills, chapter 11. I have gained the best strategy of knowing the

nature of leadership and the ways of developing leadership skills. This has helped me to manage

and present myself in a formal manner and be able to manage things in the best manner. And in

chapter 12, I have gained experience in changing leadership enabling me to get oriented easily

with the changing circumstances. Also, as stated in chapter 13, my leadership skills will enable

me to recognize politics as a way of developing myself.

In chapter 14, I acquired knowledge of the basic elements and types of organizational

structure which include; matrix, divisional, line organizational structure, hierarchical structure,

team-based, and network structure ( Kotval, 297)

organizational structure and its management which has been instrumental in developing a

successful knowledge of understanding the best keys of managing a successful organizational

PART B

Strategic and Tactical Items

Vision

My vision is to consistently develop my leadership skills by learning, adopting integrity,

clarity, humility, and honest communication. My aforementioned vision statement will enable

me to achieve the leadership style I desire in the future for I want to be the best coach and a good

leader who will be doing the right development for everyone regardless of differences. This

follows the fact that in the past I lacked a concrete vision for I was indecisive. Therefore, the

present class learning has light in my path and has taught me that a vision statement lays

direction of where ones want to go (Gazley &Laura,559).

What matters?

The primary purpose of being a leader is having the value of offering services to others.

Leadership is a core need in society. Therefore, it needs to be prioritized in order to realize a

progressive development. Therefore, what matters to me most is the value of service to others

and make a difference for them by the use of intelligence and implementing the best strategic

plans towards success.

Strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and Threats (SWOT)

My strengths

Surname 5

The superior skills I possess include; honesty and integrity, accountability, good

communication skills, inspirational skills, delegation, and empowerment. I am therefore good at

inspiring enthusiasm, confidence, and being optimistic.

Weaknesses

My sitting weakness includes impatience. Sometimes I lose patience when expecting

results. The other weakness is not believing in the work outputs of others unless my presence is

there.

Opportunities

My current opportunities include the engagement in the present learning which will

enable me to work on my weaknesses. The other opportunity is enrollment in online coaching

and training sessions which has enabled progress to be a better leader.

Threats

What threatens my path to being the best leader include financial constraints, inadequate

training facilities, and the inability to face power dynamics of leadership.

Driving Forces

The need to empower the members of my team and the entire society at large is what

drives me in my leadership dream. I wake up very early in the morning with the aim of achieving

my leadership goals and purposes. Being effective, successful and discovering my spirit in

making a change is what will make my leadership life worthy. The overriding forces come with

the financial shortage. The lack of finance always renders a mission to be accomplished difficult

as I may not be able to get access to the facilities required to initiate the activities.

Competencies, Competitive Advantages, How and Where I can Win

So far so good I am happy to have demonstrated successful leadership and have been

accountable for various developmental organizations through empowerment and delegation

skills. Am thus proud of being a self-driven leader and with my values of being honest and man

of integrity, I am optimistic that my personal vision and the performance objectives will be

successful.

Performance Objectives

My financial objectives will focus on achieving acceptable profitability and acquire

sustainable public finances. While the strategic objectives will encompass the development of a

long term vision based on developing future plans and the required actions.

Worry List

The management and leadership challenges that confront me are; confidence during setbacks,

difficult people, culture issues, pressure, and maintaining focus. The competitive shortcomings

that need to be fixed include differentiation, cost leadership, and focus. Moreover, the obstacles

which stand on my way encompass things to do with over-control, lack of problem-solving and

negotiation techniques, and complacency. And the specific problems thereto are a company

culture by default, lack of alignment, and lack of clear vision (Riley, 56)

The five important items I learned in this course that will be instrumental to my future

inter alia include;

o Decision-making skills. I have learned that decision making is very important in

ensuring the right goal setting is realized in leadership and organizational management as well as

personnel management. For example, chapter 8 taught me to be able to distinguish between

problem-solving and decision making.

o Organizational structure. Chapter 14 gave me knowledge of knowing the elements

and the organizational structure. This is important in the future leadership structure.

o Assessment and evaluation skills. I have learned to assess my personal self and

evaluate the managerial skills that are the core important pillar in the leadership plan course.

Chapter 4 provides imperative teaching concerning how to evaluate stress and find the correct

ways of managing them.

o SWOT items. The self-evaluation has enlightenment me with understanding my

strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats which are core features in any leadership course,

an organization, and personnel management.

o Conflict resolution. As envisaged in the chapter, I have learned the alternative ways

of dispute resolution. The manner in which I could negotiate a dispute in the aim of finding

resolution thus effective leadership.
