Introduction
The role of a leader is very crucial in an individual’s personal and professional setting.
During my tenure in my professional setting, I have realized that the leaders are the ones who
have the power to bring about a certain degree of change in the team and organizational setting.
The journey in the personal and professional setting has taught me to work on a number of
aspects such as the self-awareness aspects, team-building skills, and overall leadership skills.
The role of the leaders is important in the personal and professional backdrop. My graduation
degree helped me to understand that there is a vital difference between the theory that we learn in
textbooks and the real-life situations that arise in the organizational setting

Personal Analysis
I am 23 years old and graduating. After completing my education, I want to join a good
company in my field of marketing. This is a great opportunity for me to develop my skills and
abilities. However, I have to do a personal analysis first to identify my strengths and weaknesses
as well as potential areas for further development. This analysis is conducted with the help of the
SWOT framework, which uncovers my strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Vision
“I will be a good leader for our co-workers in my organization. I will a good inspiration
for my colleagues.”

Mission statement
“I'm meant to be an ambitious, self-confident, and deliberate person and my mission in
life is to help new leaders made sound and effective decisions while in office. also, to help
people during their mind life crises make carefully planned decisions so that they can take back
control of their lives.”

Core Values
• Personal development • Self-respect
• Integrity • Responsibility
• Loyalty • Adaptability
Loyalty
One value that is critical in making me a trustworthy leader is honesty. Honesty refers to the
ability to discuss topics with others in a clear and truthful manner. Transparency is closely related to
honesty. When others know they can rely on the things I say and promise, it builds their trust and
respect in me and makes a more effective leader.

Self-respect
Respect refers to feelings of admiration for their qualities, abilities or achievements and to
regard the rights, wishes and feelings of others. Good leaders earn the respect of others rather than
simply expecting to receive respect because of their position or title. One of the best ways to earn
respect is to show them respect. Another way to earn respect from others is to show commitment to
my work and to serving others.

Adaptability
Adaptability means being prepared to accept and respond to change when it occurs.
Adaptability is crucial in the workplace because it is often a frequently changing environment. If I
am a good Leader then need to have the ability to welcome and adopt change and motivate my team
members to do the same.

Personal development
Personal development refers to the act of continued learning, education and personal growth.
Great leaders are dedicated to continued personal development because they know there is always
something new, they can learn or something they can improve upon. By showing my team and
commitment to my own personal development, I can motivate them to take action to work on their
personal development as well.
Integrity
Integrity refers to being genuine and honest and deciding to do the right thing at all times. A
strong sense of integrity is important in leadership because your team members need to know they
can trust and respect what you say and what you do. They also need to know they can count on you
to keep your promises.

Responsibility:
Own my actions, mistakes, and current life situation. Understand what’s in my
control, and fully own it. Don’t like something? Change it. But don’t take responsibility for
things that are not on my plate. Focus on myself. What other adults do is not my concern, nor
my responsibility.

SOWT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
• Communication • Difficulties with the planning process
• Responsibility
• Flexibility
Opportunities Threats
• Further develop my skills in formulating • Inability to achieve a reasonable work
directions for subordinates life balance.
• Become a more effective leader in the • Potential bias and subjectivity during
planning process. the success assessment phase.

LEADERSHIP QUALITIES:
I think the qualities that must be in a leader without which he cannot be a leader are as
follows:
 • Inspire Other
• Good Communicators
• Decision-Making Capabilities
• Accountability
• Emotional Intelligence

INSPIRE OTHER:
Likely the most troublesome activity for a pioneer is to convince others to follow. It must
be conceivable in the event that I rouse my devotees by setting a genuine model. When
difficulties arise, they admire me and I perceive how respond to the circumstance. In the event
that I handle it well, they will tail me. As a pioneer, should figure positive and this positive
methodology ought to be obvious through my activities. Remain quiet under tension and keep
the inspiration level up. "In the event that my activities motivate others to dream more, find out
additional, accomplish more and become more, I am a pioneer." If I can fruitful in rousing my
subordinates, I can undoubtedly conquer any present and future test without any problem.

GOOD COMMUNICATORS:
Until I plainly convey my vision to my group and disclose to them the procedure to
accomplish the objective, it will be exceptionally hard for me to get the outcomes I need.
Basically, in the event that I can unfit to convey my message viably to my group, I can never be
a decent pioneer. A decent communicator can be a decent pioneer. Words have the ability to
persuade individuals and cause them to do the inconceivable. On the off chance that I use them
viably, I can likewise accomplish better outcomes.

DECSION-MAKING CAPABILITIES:
Aside from having an advanced vision, A pioneer ought to be able to take the correct
choice at the ideal time. Choices taken by pioneers profoundly affect the majority. A pioneer
should take some time to consider before taking a choice yet once the choice is taken, remain by
it. Albeit most pioneers take my choices all alone, it is enthusiastically suggested that I counsel
key partners before taking a choice. All things considered, they are the ones who will profit or
experience the ill effects of my choices.

ACCOUNTABILITY:
A decent pioneer takes minimal too much of the fault and minimal not as much as a lot
of the credit." Make sure that all of my subordinates are responsible for what they are doing. In
the event that they progress nicely, give them a gesture of congratulations however in the event
that the battle, commit them to understand their errors and work together to improve.
Considering them responsible for their activities will make an awareness of other's expectations
among my subordinates and they will approach the business all the more genuinely.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE:
Great pioneers consistently have a higher impact however how would they increment
their effect on where individuals acknowledge what they state. They do this by interfacing with
individuals inwardly. That is the place enthusiastic insight becomes an integral factor.

Here is a portion of the reasons why a pioneer ought to be sincerely savvy.

• Manage feelings adequately

• Better social mindfulness
• Seamless correspondences
• Conflict Resolution

My personal leadership action plan

The fundamental elements that have been included in the planning model basically focus
on my leadership skills, communication ability, and team-building skills. By strengthening my
skills relating to these aspects, would be able to strengthen my leadership approach in the
dynamic professional setting

In order to strengthen the skills relaying to my leadership capability, it would take around
1 year. During this time, I would be able to interact with a greater number of people which would
help me to enhance my communication approach. Similarly, the current BBA course would
allow me to work in teams and thus I would understand the mindset of different team members.
This exposure would allow me to understand the strategies that I can use in the future to interact
with different team members.

Realistic actions:

While working on academic projects and assignments, I would be able to interact with
people from a different setting. This exposure is a necessity for me as it would help me to work
on my team-building skills, communication skills, and leadership skills. These realistic actions
would help me to work on my current skills and capabilities as a leader

Goals for Personal Development

The objectives for my personal development are formulated with the help of the SMART
criteria, which imply that objectives must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time
bound. These objectives are presented as follows.

1. Confidence: -

Studies have revealed that an individual’s IQ is not the most important component
of success. Instead, the following three factors are considered to be much more important
than intelligence in determining success: self-confidence, goal setting, and perseverance.
An individual’s self-esteem, or your self-confidence, is basically what he or she thinks
about himself or herself. One of the reasons for boosting your self-confidence is that
there is a strong association between confidence and success. Hence, one of your self-
development goals should definitely be to boost your self-confidence.
 2. Make fear my friend: -
To eliminate fear, you have to first be exposed to fear to allow yourself to feel
afraid and expose yourself to it. Once you are comfortable with the ambiguity &
uncertainly of the situation, you can start working your way through it in a calm rational
manner.

3. Improve my Body Language: -

Your body language is nothing but non-verbal communication which includes the
gestures and movements you project. Research has proved that the correct body language
can help you connect effectively with others and convey your message across more
efficiently. It conveys your assertiveness, confidence, and perseverance. In fact, certain
body postures can also help to improve your performance.

4. Increase willpower: -
Harboring a strong will power enhances your finances, your health, your
relationships, your professional success, and all other areas of your life. Irrespective of
the goals that you have set for yourself, you need the willpower to attain them.

5. Make Better decisions.

Develop the habit to make better decisions in life. The choices or the decisions
that you make determines the life that you will eventually lead. Your decisions shape
your life, so it is all the more important, the better decisions you make, the better your life
is likely to be.

Leadership style
As per my report, it shows that my authority style is Participative, which implies that I
am equipped for working with bunch individuals who comprehend the destinations and their job
in the assignment. My greatest quality is difficult to work, sharing awareness of other's
expectations, timeliness, time the board, and the capacity to comply with time constraints. I am a
dependable individual with a capacity to function as a cooperative person or as a person which
encourages me to get by under various types of situations.

My Weakness is that I get injured rapidly in the event that somebody dismisses my true
endeavors, or blames me for being blameworthy of an error that I never did, this does bring
about mental pressure which eventually impacts my presentation. Furthermore, here and there I
get enthusiastic. This is the thing that I believe is my greatest quality and shortcomings. What's
more, I have to improve these qualities and shortcomings.

LEADERSHIP THEORIES
Leadership theories can be described as different approaches to leadership and how
leaders are created and how special type of leaders lead. There are many different theories. Well,
there are many theories, but I will only describe what I will adopt in the next 4 to 5 years. Here I
am going to describe two most important theories Participative and contingency theory.

Participative theory:
Participative leadership, also known as democratic leadership, is the type of leadership
style where the team members participate in the decision-making process. Participative
leadership theories suggest that the ideal leadership style is one that takes the input of others into
account. These leaders encourage participation and contributions from group members and help
group members feel more applicable and dedicated to the decision-making process. This theory
helps me to work with team members and feel me to be more involved in the management
process, like when I am doing my activities at my work place I always participative with my
team members as well as with my management.

Contingency theory:
Contingency theory is a class of behavioral theory that claims that there is no one best
way of leading and design organizational structure. And that a leadership style that is effective in
some situations may not be successful in others.
 An effect of this is that leaders who are very effective at one place and time may become
unsuccessful either when transplanted to another situation or when the factors around them
change.

This type of theory is very important for change management because it is related to
transformational leadership style. I think if any kind of emergency happen leaders should change
their style according to the situation and try to handle the situation as early as possible so that
people feel that he is the best leader and he know how to handle the situation. So, I also want to
apply contingency theory when something wrong happens at my workplace. For better solution
of a problem.

CONCLUSION
I am an effective leader must have character, competence, compassion, and courage.
These characteristics are the components of one personality that gives them the capability to
successfully lead a group of people in the right direction. Character allows to me make the right
choices I am not a god leader but work on team members. The best leader style is democratic
style they work on them good leader sees good vision to the company.
