Assignment of development of leadership plan

            This assignment is related to development of leadership plan related to my personality. I was required to take self confidence test, emotional intelligence test, and team leader skills test in order to identify strength and weaknesses of my leadership skills. On the basis of these identified leadership skills, I formulated my leadership development plan.

Leadership Plan:

        Self confidence test is also known as self assessment test or self esteem test. According to the results of this test, my self assessment level is mild which indicates that the level of my self esteem is comparatively low. This suggests that I have less confidence in myself. Results score clearly suggest that I am experiencing symptoms related to different common people with low level of self confidence. It is important to understand that leaders must have high level of confidence in themselves in order to take significant decisions and stick to those decisions. It is very important for leaders and top level management in any organization to have confidence on their steps and approach in order to achieve the formulated goals and objectives of the organization. Most of the times, confidence is considered to be one of the most significant element during different business meetings and it is considered to be a significant element for convincing the other involved parties in the business meeting. Without proper confidence level, leaders and managers are not able to manage their team members and team is not able to achieve the assigned goals and objectives which eventually influence the performance of the leader in negative manner.

Team Leader Skills Test:

Leadership skill test is used in order to identify the leadership style of any individual. According to my leadership skills test results, I achieved 87 score out of hundred. According to my score, it is suggested that I am able to envision a clear direction for my company and team. My results also suggested that I am able to effectively communicate my plan to others in such a manner that they feel excited towards my communicated plan. Results also suggested that I have a high level of Charisma which is required in order to convince other people by sharing ideas with them. This is considered to be one of the most significant scales related to team leadership mostly because of the fact that employees are willing to achieve goals if they are passionate about those assigned goals and objectives. It is important for the team leader to make sure that they motivate the team members to achieve the formulated goals. People who have such expertise are considered to be innovative and visionary. They are also considered to be confident in their ability to persuade and convince other people. They mostly consider it one of the most significant methods to enhance the Awareness of others related to the vision of the company.

Emotional Intelligence Test:

        Emotional intelligence test is mostly used in order to identify the ability of a specific person to empathize with others. According to the results of my emotional intelligence test, I secured 6 out of 10 for self awareness, 2 out of 10 for self management, 5 out of 10 for social awareness and 1 out of 10 for relationship management. Results clearly suggest that my level of self awareness and social awareness is comparatively higher as compared to sales management and relationship management. Results also suggest that I am not good at managing relations and managing myself.

            Comparatively higher score of self awareness and social awareness clearly suggest that I am able to understand the society in more effective and efficient manner. I am also able to manage myself in effective and efficient manner. One of the most significant aspects of leaders and top level managers in any organization is high level of self awareness. In order to achieve the goals and objectives of the organization, it is important to be self aware. This will help that specific individual to identify his strength and weaknesses in order to achieve the formulated goals and objectives. Without proper score related to self awareness, one cannot be successful in any organization.

Leadership Plan

        My self assessment suggests that my communication skills are very much strong. I am able to convince other people as well in order to achieve the formulated goals and objectives. This is one of the most significant aspects of leaders and top level managers in any organization. My personal vision statement is that the employees working in teams should be motivated by the team leaders continuously in order to make sure that the formulated goals and objectives are achieved. My core values are self confidence and positive communication skills. I am also able to convince other people to understand my point and it helps the managers and leaders to achieve the formulated cause and objectives in the organization.

        Self awareness is another significant element for the success of leaders and top level managers. My scores suggest that self awareness is one of my core values and it will help me to achieve the formulated goals and objectives not only at individual level but also at team level. Other than self awareness, Social awareness is my core value as well. Social awareness will help me to identify the strengths and weaknesses of my team members. It will also help me to enhance my relationship with my team members which will eventually help me to achieve be formulated goals and objectives.

        As far as my weaknesses are concerned, I am not a confident person which might negatively influence my leadership abilities and the results of my leadership. Another weakness related to my personality is weakness related to self management. It is important to understand that leaders must have high score related to self-management. In order to cover factors like self management and confidence, I will use my strength related to significant communication skills in order to achieved reformulated goals and objectives of the organization.

Feedback on Leadership Plan:

        I completely agree with the feedback related to my abilities and weaknesses. In order to evaluate my performance as team leader, I will frequently analyze the achievement of goals and objectives on daily basis. If the goals and objectives are not being achieved then I will make sure that I implement required amendments in order to make sure that the goals and objectives are achieved accordingly (Thomson, 1998). In order to analyze my performance, I will collect data related to activities like how much task have I assigned to a specific individual in the team and how much time that specific individual has taken in order to complete that assigned task or objective (Maserang, 2002). This will help me to identify the strength of my team which will eventually help me to understand whether my team will be able to achieve the overall goals and objectives or not.

        Another technique which can be implemented in order to improve my leadership skills is too frequently provide feedback to team mates on their updated work. It will help to increase the motivation and confidence of team members which will eventually improve their individual performance level. By increasing the individual performance level, overall performance level of team and Organization will also increase (ying, 2004). There are different other techniques which can be implemented in order to evaluate the performance of team members. One of the most significant techniques is implementation of Management by objectives and checklist system. Implementation of checklist system will help me to identify achievement of team members by task and this will help me to further analyze the daily achievements and performance of my team members.

        Another significant technique which can be implemented in order to evaluate the performance of employees and team members is self evaluation (HR Tool, 2017). This will help me to identify the strengths and weaknesses of my team members which can be resolved after effective identification during the process of self evaluation. Another significant technique which can be implemented in order to collect data related to performance of employees is implementation of 360 degree feedback (Suri, 2017). It will help me to identify the performance level of my team members which will eventually increase my control over my team members. I will be able to implement necessary changes according to the feedback provided.

Conclusion on development of leadership plan

        My core abilities according to my test results are strong communication skills, Social awareness, self awareness and mild confidence. It is important for leaders and managers to have significant confidence level in order to make sure that the team members follow the leader. This lack of confidence can be accommodated with strong communication skills and self awareness skills. I will use these abilities in order to make sure that the team members working under me achieve the formulated goals and objectives.

        I will use different techniques like 360 degree feedback, self evaluation, frequent analysis of tasks provided to team members and other related techniques in order to analyze the performance of team members working under me.
