Leadership, Decision-Making and Problem Solving Skills

Leadership

 

I have observed that, in the business field, leadership is something that will actually aid me to in becoming capable of taking the lead. It means that whether a person is able to make other people follow him and can get things done by the people, which they won’t do otherwise, for the sake of the team. To become a leader, I must possess the quality of providing a mission i.e. what needs to be accomplished as well as a plan, a course, to complete the mission successfully and how to achieve the vision, a technique for the team to reach there. However owing a stimulating vision, a stirring mission, and a cautious plan is not adequate. Clear communication is what a leader must have. The team can only be motivated to work for a task if and only they clearly understand the vision, and buy-in is critical to encouraging action. Lastly, a vision provided by the leader must not be inflexible and set in your ways; it has to be obliged to adjust to varying circumstances, emergent and developing. Or else it becomes outmoded and outdated, and loses its influence to stimulate and inspire the team.(Mills,D.Quinn 2005) Here the use of team work assisted me in enhancing the leadership skills as the group work involves working together, getting things done by your partners and negotiating the ideas and viewpoint to them as well as encouraging them to act by motivating them to get better grades every passing semester. Decision-Making

Decision-making is a vital skill necessary for business and life success equally as other skills. Decision-making is particularly essential for managing and leadership. I used a number of methods develop decision-making skills and the improve quality of decisions. Decision-making is more natural to certain personalities, so these people should focus more on improving the quality of their decisions. Individuals who are not natural decision-makers are found to be able to make quality assessments, but after that require being more decisive in working upon the assessments prepared. A time-tested methodology has been devised that help dramatically assisted me in improving my decision making skills and lessening ordinary traps that direct unwanted results.

Problem Solving

 

A major element of surviving in business relates to problem solving and that also speedily and efficiently. If I am well at keeping my head in the state of crisis then I am a valuable asset to any business and am less likely to get fired. I am not bad at solving problems; it’s just that my skills are not well-polished. In the first semester everyone seemed less decisive in their decisions and had difficulties in coping up with situations effectively. But every passing semester, the state changed. This may be for the reason of three things. Foremost, the problem can be very specifically defined. When the desired ‘end-point’ is defined, then it is possible to work backwards to locate the solution. Next, I became good at the analysis. I am capable of efficiently analyzing the situation, to look for the root of the problem and afterwards devise solution to address the problem (Edward de Bono, 2007). Once again this is something ‘we can get our teeth’ into. Analysis and judgment are the fundamental practice of every individual’s thinking.
