INTRODUCTION

The process by which the working skills of the employees of the company are improved
which eventually help the management and leadership to chive the main goals of the company in
a more effective way is called as personal leadership and management. The HR managers of the
company can enhance the working capabilities of the employees of the company by keeping in
mind the end goals of the company. The main purpose of the strategies and working of the
management of the company is to achieve the main goals if the company in more effective way b
because the shareholders of the company always expect from the management that management
will generate enough capital and revenue for the shareholders. This is the reason that the skills
and personal development are considered as very important for the success of the company
(Appelo, 2010). The main objective of this assignment is to evaluate the skills and capabilities
which are required for eth achievement of the main goals of company and assessment of ways to
which these skills support the management to achieve the goals of the company. It is the fact that
effective managerial skills, strong leadership management and well-established relationship
system in the company are some of the important aspects which are very important for the
success of the company.

TASK 1 EVALUATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL OBJECTIVES, CULTURE,

AND VALUES

LO 1.1 HOW THE LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY CAN BE

EFFECTED BY CULTURE, AND VALUES AND ORGANIZATIONAL
OBJECTIVES

Management is the fundamental part that runs the business looking forward to its goals.
with the help of the management and guidance we can accomplish our aims and purposes in an
effectual and competent way. The leadership and the management are so relevant to each other.
an idealistic leader runs and lead the investment of human looking forward to accomplishing it’s
goals and the to gain the success at both levels; organizational or individual.
4

Leadership and Management are the activities which are extremely important for an
organization. With the help of such actions workers are inspired by working hard for the
achievement of goals which have been set by the management of the company (Bittner and
Spence, 2006). Both are similar from one another, as there is a very few function that separates
them. Put a light on management, it is a function through which one can keep an eye on the daily
routine of the organization, and it is also used to complete the tasks with the help of group
members in an effective and efficient manner while on the other by leadership the individuals
can be inspired and motivated by giving attractive results (Cacioppe, 2008).

Management and leadership have a very significant effect on the behavior of the
employees and working environment in which the employees perform their activities. Both the
leadership and management aspect of the company can be effected by the objectives and goals
which the company has, the cultural values of the company. The managers of company
implement strong strategies and effective planning for making both of these aspects successful
(Elo and [Link], 2014). It is very important for any organization to determine the targets in such a
way that management and leadership are not adversely affected the functions.

It is the fact that the strategies of the company can be affected by the culture and values
because the management decisions have a direct relation with the company's objectives, culture,
and values. The goal that higher specialists will decide styles of leadership and it has to be
shaped according to the working condition (Holden, 2014). It is very important to make sure that
such technique is used in an effective manner. Otherwise, results can affect the business
operations negatively. In addition to the objectives hierarchical culture and values also assumes a
key role in the management and leadership. This type of company and organization structure on
the side of the above qualities to choose how the performance of supervisors and leaders and
how they will make the workforce implement a series of obligations which indicates goals they
can be achieved without effort and strength (Kur and Bunning, 2006).

organizations standards are relying upon the environment of the firm and it is significant
to make the workers familiar with the traditions of the company. the person may not be able to
accomplish its objectives is it is not competent with the traditions of the company. the
management must focus on this aspect before hiring new workers because if they do not give
importance to this then they are going to be responsible for the inconvenience. the firm’s
leadership methods are supremely linked with the culture of the firm and depending upon the
5

culture they have to set their management styles according to their culture. various types of
leadership methods are available which can be applicable to the firm and in accordance with the
business type and culture it could be different.

LO 1.2 WHAT ARE THOSE SKILLS OF MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP

WHICH HELP IN ACHIVEMENT OF COMPANY’S OBJECTIVES

Management and leadership play a very important role in deciding the employee’s roles and
duties. They are very vital because they frame and manage the whole activity or functions of an
organization. Management and leadership skills are required to achieve organization goals and
objectives (Rausch, 2005). To sustain in the competitive market it is very essential to ensure that
the company have such managers and leaders who can motivate and inspire all the workers
working under their control because it is the fact that if manager gives the confidence to the
employees that the company is taking care of all the need of company and enhance the
motivation of the employees of company than the company’s managers can achieve the main
goals of company in more effective way. Different skills and abilities are required to have b the
people working as leadership and management level in the company. The main objective of the
decisions and strategies of managers is to enhance the commitment of the employees of the
company regarding the improvement of the productivity of the company as well as their
performance (Strange, 2012).
Conceptual Skills:

abilities to use the data to give solution to the issues of industry, acknowledgement of the
probabilities for growth identifying predicament parts and giving the explanations, picking up

Communication Skills:

Interpersonal Skills:

In the current exciting and happy work environment, employees who are incompetent to the firm
must get ready to enhance their abilities and must get excessive work beside the work of their
personal job areas. It is not questionable that the abilities will never stop to being a unique
method of telling what is done by a manager (Vloeberghs and Berghman, 2003).

(Vloeberghs and Berghman, 2003).

LO 1.3 SKILLS OF LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT AT PERSONAL LEVEL

For the achievement of the main goals of company it is very important for the company's
director that to enhance the skills of the managers and leaders of the company because the success
of the business activities of company depend on the decisions taken by the leaders and managers of
the company. The satisfaction of the employees of the company and the highly skilled leadership
and management skills of the employees is the only way by which the goals of the company can be
achieved in the effective way (Austin, 2002). It is the fact that the productivity of the company
depends on the performance of the employees of the company so this is the reason that personal
development leadership and management skills are important to be considered by the management
of the company.

It has been seen that the importance of the leadership and management can be seen by
evaluating the performance of those employees who are working under high skilled leaders. The
effective planning and effective strategic system in the company are not possible to be achieving if
the company lack good and attractive leadership and management skills (Agha, 2001).

According to me, there are so many different skills and abilities that managers and leaders
require in this modern business world. The most common and important skills are communication.
As we all known that communication is the key to organizational success. Other than this skill,
managers and leaders also required to motivate the employees regularly, so that they give their best
shot and help to increase the overall performance of an organization. (Elegbe, 2012).

It has been evaluated by me that there are different aspects regarding which I need
improvement because those skills have a direct link with the effective performance. For enhancing
my skills which can give me the direction to work in right direction for the achievement of goals of
the company, I need to have a deep knowledge about techniques and ways by which I can improve
my skills. For this, I am planning to work in a pressure situation to enhance my leadership skills.
Another target which I am focusing on my personal development plan is time management because
it is the fact that time management is very important for completion of targets successfully.

TASK 2 EVALUATION OF SKILLS AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN

LO 2.1 HOW THE PEROSNLA SKILSL ARE DEVELOPED

There are many opportunities present through which I can try to improve my skills and can enhance
management and leadership abilities (Bryman, 2014). It is an important factor for employees to
hold on to each and every opportunity that come in their way throughout their Employment. With
the help of such opportunities they can increase the work [Link] has been seen that the
management of moist of the companies in modern time is recognizing that the satisfaction of the
employees of company are very important for the sauces of company so for this the management of
these companies are creating such an environment in company in which the employees of company
can enhance their personal skills which eventually become effective for the success of company. In
the remote possibility that such things cannot function properly, then the main thing ensures that
they will not have the ability to contribute certainly to the goals and objectives of the company
(Klagge, 2006).
10

There are so many opportunities which I found while working for an organization. It is very
important for me to concentrate on to them, as they will be the only basis through which I can
enhance my efficiency and performance which can lead to complete the organizational goals and
objectives. There are different opportunities for me, and some of them are discussed below:

Seminars and workshops: I attain many seminars and workshops because they are the most
effective source through which I can learn innovative and new thing which are important in the
market. It is important for me to attend such workshops and seminars I can interact in a positive
way with other experts in an organization along with professionals of another sector.

Training and development sessions: important thing regarding my training and development
session is that I came to know about many new things during my training. I gained greater level of
help from these training sessions because I learned new advanced methods to improve the
performance of performing the activities given to me.

LO 2.3 HOW THE LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS ASPECST ARE

MANAGED

It is the fact that the plans of personal development are very vital for successful
operations because it is the source from which people can learn more about the areas that
should be improved so that profitability and the application can be improved (Schmidt-Wilk,
2013). It is under the responsibilities of management of company to give the support to the
employees of company to formulate such plans. By implementing such plans into the real life
they can make a considerable contribution to accomplishment of tasks given to them. After
preparing the personal development plan, I will need to implement. It is very important
because it helps to develop new skills and enhance the knowledge which is required to achieve
the goals (Head and Sorensen, 2006). The plan that I have designed states that for
management and leadership skills I will need to focus on strengths, communicate with
everyone and developing clear vision. If I develop all such skills, I can implement the plan in a
positive manner and work effectively.

I felt that I improved the required skills because of feedback which is given by my fellows but
important thing regarding this improvement is that I have to take regular training in workshops,
attending the seminars for enhancing the interpersonal and communication skills. By working by
the programs, I can enhance the required skill in me.

Through them, and I am willing to develop this capability, also, to mount a decent system. It
helps also stimulates cooperation with various individuals. This type of vital projects to ensure
that i can accumulate required skills (Macdonald, 2010). Otherwise, i also need to strive to build
my business preparations. (McDonald, 2010). Other than that, I will also have to work hard to
develop my business skills. This is a skill which is extremely important in this modern world. I
get negative feedback from friends, and it requires more improvement. For enhancing my
business skills, I join training programs which are organized by the company. In such training
programs, I came to know how to use different skills in different areas.

TASK 3 PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

13

LO 3.1 PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW BY KEEPING IN MIND

THE REAL GOALS

My main aim was to develop leadership, management, communication and business

skills to a great extent with the help of personal development plan. The plan is developed by me
in such a way that I consider all the objective of development in mind. Through this plan, I get
idea that where I lack behind in management and leadership skills. To improve such skills, I have
to develop clear vision, focus on strengths and interact with everyone.

After adoption of the plan I understand that there is a need for me to take part in different
training workshops to improve the basic working skills and for improving the interpersonal and
communication skills I need to take part in meetings and seminars. It is the fact that the
interpersonal and communication skills are every important for my successful career so this is
the reason that involving myself in the seminars and meeting is the only way to improve my
interpersonal and communication skills. Enhancement of the performance is the main goals by
which this plan was formulated by me. The personal development plan is very important for
increasing the required skills which give better level of help to the management of company top
achieve the main goals of company. I keep in mind that my skills can play important role in this
regard, so I developed personal development plan.

Through the implementation of this plan, I can build my management and capabilities of leading
the people and composes many of the capabilities and leadership skills in me for giving the
confidence to the employees to enhance their performance. Throughout this personal
development process, I could see many changes in me, and I began to feel much more certainly
when communicating with people and give them my feelings and thoughts. Through this
contract, which had the ability to complete their primary education has the theoretical ability to
transfer with people in an effective and transparent manner. It was the end of the personal
development plan of the above very helpful in building my abilities.

When the organization’s goals are declared, the company should focus on making more profit
and sales. Simultaneously, they need to satisfy the consumers and deliver the what they want. To
accomplish this, it is significant to compete the goals of the schedule in accordance with the
necessities of the firm. Manager should do his best to achieve the goal of the company and for
14

this purpose he must possess some specific abilities. Hence, the ability to negotiate, the ability of
communicating and the knowledge how to guide are some significant skill the person must be
good at.

After assessment, the goals are developed. As this a self-improvement schedule needed an
individual as so he can do the personal assessment to discover the weaknesses and the necessities
of the individual. He will become capable of establishing the goals after that. These goals should
be competent with the goals of the firm and there must exist an interrelation among them.

LO 3.2 PERSONAL AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT EFFICIENCY

It is the fact that for enhancing the capabilities and skills the personal development plan
can play important role so this is the reason that the employees and individual in company can
enhance the skills which eventually give benefits to the company (Wheelwright, 2007).
Organization uses this plan to help their employees through which they can develop new skills.
Management and leadership skills require for planning and organizing. I organize many
functions during my tenure in the company and get positive feedback from my executives. These
skills are very necessary for every individual and with the help of different abilities I can work in
such a way through which better performance can be ensured. Management skills require for
managing people. I get positive response from my team members through which I can guide
them with flexibility and increase the overall performance of my team.

It is very important for me to develop leadership skills. With the help of this skill, I can
influence people and motivate them towards achieving the goals. Effective leadership requires
good communication, time management, etc. I discuss and share my ideas or opinions with my
team and listen to them. By exercising such actions, I get positive feedback from my team
member. For improving such skill, I will join many coaching classes and take part in seminars
and workshop through which I can improve my communication skills. With the help of this skill,
I can lead my team from the front. For leadership, it is also required motivating and inspiring
other because it is one of the most important tools to develop and through which one can
complete the aims and targets easily (Tobin and Pettingell, 2008). With the help of this skill, I
get more effective results because through I can increase the interest in the individual mind
regarding their work and motivating them. By performing such activities, they can give their best
performance to increase the overall productivity of the organization.
15

It is capable of assessing the efficiency of the individual self improvement schedule and this can
be done by using various procedures. To assess the independent abilities of leadership, it is
capable of evaluating the person himself that whether he is going to hand over the duty of
decision making to them or whether he can make his group to be involved in more team works. It
can be calculated that how many group works are done in a month and how many decisions are
taken by the team and etc. such specification are going to assist him in altering his mind and
make him think that the independent leadership technique is good to go with his section. In
addition to this he can also have some study by books on this independent style of leadership and
when he completes his study of one case he might be able to implement it on his team and see
the reactions of the other members of the team.

When the negotiation abilities are established we can also assess it by discovering that how many
negotiations were there in a month and from them how many were the loss and how many were
the successes. With the help of the calculation every month after the procedure of training, we
can discover the improvement of the training. While the implementation of the communication
abilities, he is capable of getting the reviews from the customer and through which he can assess
his improvements and the areas he is weak in. In the meantime, he is capable of getting reviews
from its workers, colleagues by which he is able to learn about these language abilities and his
self-development.

LO 3.3 UPDATION OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR ADDITIONAL

DEVELOPMENT

The above presented personal development plan is very helpful for me to enhance the
basic working capabilities and skills. Interpersonal and communications skills, management and
leadership skills and also business managing skills are some of the examples of those skills
which must be included in my personal development plan because these skills are the key to
success at all level. The employees with all these skills can enable the management of company
to achieve the main goal as of company in more efficient way (Appelo, 2010).

Time management and working in pressure situation are some of the areas where I need
improvement. It has been seen that in modern business world time management is very essential
16

and performing work without any stress, tension, and pressure (Bittner and Spence, 2006). I will
need to learn how the time is managed properly because my performance is dependent this to a
great extent. For enhancing my time management skills, it is very importantly for me to complete
all the tasks on time. I will be able to learn that how could I schedule and management if I give
focus to improve the time management skills. Performing all the activities by taking rest is very
important because in stress and tense situation consecutive working can affect my performance.

CONCLUSION

At the end of the assignment, it can be revealing that both the leadership and management
are two different concepts because of their area different things and purpose. The process of
maki9ng development and improvement in the personal skills and abilities is called as personal,
development. The main objectives of the assignment were to assess the impact of all these
aspects regarding the achievement of the main goals of company which has been assessed. In
respect of successful operations in company, it has been concluded that both the personal
development and management development are very important. The managers performing as
role of leader in the company have the responsibility to enhance the commitment and motivation
of the employees of company while in contrast to it the management is the process of managing
the business activities in right direction to achieve the main goals of company in more effective
way.
