Personal Experiences and Skills in Leadership and Management Styles
As a leader, who can combine efforts with fellows, it was easy to coordinate with my team regarding the management of the business and offer leadership skills with direction. With all the leadership skills, it is easy to coordinate the team based on simulations as I will like my leadership qualities to be known. In this report, I am giving my ability on the behaviors together with management styles and then my own experience while dealing with team members during the online simulations, according to, (Bratton,2011, pg123-137). Therefore, in the following body, a lot is to be talked about regarding my personal experiences, reflection, and demonstration of the leadership skill, in managing a business, with a reference to the different theories and how to deal with the team member.
Nevertheless, all this information is a reflection that was done based on the assimilations done online with group members.I recommend empathy since knowing the emotions of the team members as a leader together with the different circumstances which did impact them. I will recommend practicing relationship management to handle the team members regarding making informed decisions and hence in the completion of the assimilation. I will start by being a self-manager or being a self-regulator as linked or suggested in Goldman’s emotion intelligence framework. My experiences, ability, and leadership skills as a leader in influencing different individuals in the management of decisions being done by individuals during the online simulations are as follows.
As someone who is characterized by proper leadership skills, I will start by doing the following when handling team members with proper decisions. I will start by being a self-manager or being a self-regulator as linked or suggested in Goldman’s emotion intelligence framework. According to his framework, self-management is someone’s ability to fully manage an individual’s actions, their feelings in ways that are flexible to end up with the desired kind of results. When there is an optimal regulation of self-management, results in well-being, self-efficacy confidence, and that connectedness sense to other people.
As a leader, the main goal of an individual who self regulates themselves is to be able to manage his emotional kind of responses as the direct cues for all actions and hence effectively coping up with people in different relationships. It hence vital to know the self-awareness in the first case to be effective in managing other individuals in a group, as suggested by,(Grant 2014, pg 1-10). When any leader like me understands what other people are, their feelings, and then it becomes easy to manage them very well. For instance, in simulation one QTR one, it is a mandate to follow time in the meeting. Therefore, as a leader, I will first evaluate the group members talk to them well to find out their feelings regarding the set target time for the project.
I will furthermore practice self-awareness to handle the team members. In this assimilation, a group leader is mandated to exercise empathy and even be aware of an environment. I will make sure that all the team members are very well are of the environment we are working from through discussions and evaluation of their status.
Effective Team Management Theories and Strategies
According to Goleman, he thinks that individual’s abilities are linked to neurons in a way that is an extension of circuity that is always connected to what is known as the amygdala. Therefore, it is vital to read an individual’s face, the voice for purposes of understanding emotions which of course act as a direction to all leaders regarding how to speak to them. This is a direction as a leader in handling people of each category. It will be of great use to me regarding handling the team members in making decisions. Therefore, social awareness refers to the ability to accurately notice individuals’ emotions and hence read all the situations they are appropriate. It just involves sensing what other individuals are thinking about and their feelings and hence being able to handle their perspectives applying the capacity of empathy. As a leader, therefore, for purposes of completing the for instance marketing strategies, I will first examine individuals’ emotions and feelings and decide the time to talk to them for the best results.
All the above does depend on empathy. Therefore, empathy refers to that cognitive and even an emotional process which of course do bind individuals together in different relationship kinds hence permitting an act of sharing different experiences and even understanding of people. People’s brains do note what other individuals do respond together with the amygdala. When it does so, it of curse connects the circuits which of course keeps individuals in that loop which is interpersonal to the emotional connections. Hence knowing the emotions of the team members as a leader together with the different circumstances which did impact them. Hence social awareness is just having to notice an individual in that very room always frustrated by any task available and hence responding in a way that can reduce all negative kinds of emotions. The above therefore is a way of motivating different individuals to do certain tasks and produce the best results as a leader. Therefore, I can also adopt the above when handling different individuals to complete the assimilations.
To fulfill the likes of other individuals as a leader, which will guide them in making more decisions and experiences, I will also start by being aware of myself. Different scholars suggest that self-awareness is just being aware of our moods and the thoughts that are attached to those moods. Hence Goleman defines it as the ability of reading and fully understand our emotions and hence recognize their impacts on different other individuals, as suggested by(Lomaset al, 2012,pg207-2011). It can therefore be understood that self-awareness is that basic understanding of people’s feelings and the reasons as to why individuals have to feel the way they are feeling. Therefore, the more individuals are just aware of their feelings, it becomes easy to manage them and easy to dictate the way a response is made to more others. Therefore, as in the proper management of the team for better results, my own emotions are the key to handling them as a leader. According to QRT 2 of the assimilation, it is easy to act with integrity while handling the team as a leader. But all this is possible via or through self-awareness. As long as I am aware of my emotions, it becomes easy for me to handle others. Being aware of experiences and emotions that are attached to the way others can be handled, is something easy for me. An emotion of being aware of yourself is that sequence that normally occurs each day since every feeling just happens in a picture. Therefore, the role of self-awareness is to understand well that all the feelings are just that constant rate of coming and even going. Hence it is vital to handle them as a leader in an appropriate way with other team members being worked upon.
Recommendations for Effective Team Management
Furthermore, considering QRT 2 of the assimilation, it is vital to consider your emotions with others for the right outs come for instance when it comes to the market selection and prize awarding. When handling others, I will consider my emotions as a leader in the first case since y interest is coming out with the right and best outcomes. This becomes very easy for all business people while handling individuals of different categories.
Additionally, I will also start by practicing relationship management to handle the team members regarding making informed decisions and hence in the completion of the assimilation. To manage well the projected demand capacities of individuals as viewed in assimilation QTR 5, it is because of relationship management. It just means the ability to capture one’s emotions, the emotions of other individuals, and that context of managing the social kind of interactions in a successful full way o manner. Hence based on the quadrant of Goleman, the other 3 different dimensions are brought together and they end up creating that relationship that does exist among the leaders in managing people. It is often believed that inches from the other dimensions, it flows naturally. Hence it is termed as “friendless with the purpose” or just acquiring all the desired kinds of responses when executing duties with different other individuals.
Managing relationships with team members influence the team members in coming up with the right decisions. Since it is easy to sense out the different other decisions or reactions to any situation around hence easy to fine-tune our response to driving interaction in the right direction. Hence as a leader, this becomes my genuine kind of effort to assist everyone reaches the right outcome and not being an act of manipulation for different interests of an individual. Relationship management and all the above-discussed ideas are the things I will do first to deal with the team as the leader and help others in making informed and precise decisions.
The above therefore highlights my experiences, ability, and leadership skills as a leader in influencing different individuals in the management of decisions being done by individuals during the online simulations.
As a leader, it is vital to continue doing different duties to act as a role model to other team members being handled. For purposes of exercising my leadership skills, experiences, and management traits, I will continue doing the following based on the Johari Window Technique. Being accountable for the actions do regardingour team members according to assimilation QTR 6. But all this is possible through having to follow guidelines offered by the Johari window. That technique was put forward to help individuals better understand all those relationships with themselves and who theyare dealing with. In this case, this technique will help me to continue being accountable for my actions towards others in the course of making business decisions suggestion of, (Emiliano, 2015pg 1-2). The Johari window was put forward by certain psychologists called Joseph Luft and a man called Harington Ingham. Since the online assimilation, it was a group discussion, this technique best matches it because it is applied in the self-help groups with a cooperative setting since they act as heuristic activity.
Importance of Self-Awareness and Empathy in Leadership
Furthermore, I will continue motivating individuals to deliver vision mixed with quality activities and work for the best regarding leading the best business across through having to balance well the financial reports and even financial statements. It is all about setting goals and standards to be followed uprightly. All this as a leader is based upon good relationships with the team members aimed at bringing about the desired results.
I will continue being a role model to other team members for purposes of correcting any error and offering direction to different individual team members. Doing the right thing at the right time and in the right position is the best thing that can be done by any leader who inspires other people. Therefore, as any leader with visions of being the best person in guiding others, I will continue doing the right things in the right place and at the right time possible. It is upon the leader to deliver the best services to people. Continuously, relying more on the technique of Johari window’s objectives, as the open arena, it is true that, the entire subject with the peer does go in a quadrant or a cell kind off-grid hence these are one of the traits which are always perceived by the group teams and individuals. Hence it should be adopted by all individuals with ideas to do business because they are acting as directions.
The other objective of the Johari window is the blind objective; this is not always selected by the team members or subject but only the peers do go here. It is normally about what other individuals do perceive but then the leader does not. Hence as a leader, it is upon me to act well to the team members continuously for them to perceive the right things from me and emulate them which is hard. It acts well in the field of business; it can be copied by the leaders for the best results from the followers. Based on the other objective called Façade, it is mainly about the leader and not the subjects they are certain things that are not known by the peers but under the rule of the leader. It cats well in managing the finances of a given company. A leader might be knowing how he spent his money without disclosing it to the other peers. In most cases, it is aimed at maintaining privacy which I will continue doing.
I will also continue managing performance very well as a leader based on the objective of the unknown by the Johari window. It is this objective whereby not even the leader or peer is known. It reflects all the behaviors with motives that no person who is just participating is aware of. It might be because they do not apply anywhere or maybe of ignorance. Hence all this is possible due to proper management of the outcomes of work. To understand conscious and even unconscious kinds of bias, the Johari framework does so since it increases self-awareness and even the art of knowing each other. It is therefore the creation of different two psychologists. Hence that definition alone is my direction towards managing proper performance at whatever cost it takes.
Conclusion
As someone who is characterized by proper leadership skills, I will stop doing the following when handling team members with proper decisions. I will stop being unapproachable as suggested in Goldman’s emotion intelligence framework. According to his framework, being approachable is someone’s state of being unwelcoming which disrupts the desired kind of results, (Wu, 2016, 33). When there is an optimal regulation of the concept of approachability, the main goal of an individual who self regulates themselves is to be able to manage his emotional kind of responses as the direct cues for all actions and hence effectively coping up with people in different relationships. Hence, it will be vital to be friendly for effective management of other individuals in a group, (Hofstede and Bond, 1984, 417).
For purposes of exercising my leadership skills, experiences, and management traits, I will stop giving inflexible opinions and views following based on the Johari Window Technique and rather being accountable for the actions do regardingour team members according to assimilation QTR 6. The Johari window emphasizes providing the most applicable opinions to other members as a sign of minimizing time wastage. Individuals will have to provide aspecific vision mixed with quality activities and work for the best regarding leading the best business across through having to balance well the financial reports and financial statements. According to Soares, Farhangmer and Soham (2007). All this as a leader is based upon good relationships with the team members aimed at bringing about the desired results.
I will stop being distant from the team as a leader based on the objective of the unknown by the Johari window. It is this objective whereby not even the leader or peer is supposed to be superior of others. It reflects all the behaviors with motives that no person who is just participating is aware of. It might be due to ignorance or because they do not apply anywhere. Hence all this is possible due to proper management of the outcomes of work by emphasizing all members to treat themselves at the same level. To understand group cooperation of the superior and the inferiors being at the same level, the Goleman’s model highlights developing others, providing an inspirational leadership, teamwork and collaboration.
Conclusion
In summary, as a leader, I will start by being a self-manager as linked or suggested in Goldman’s emotion intelligence framework. I will evaluate the group members talk to them well to find out their feelings regarding the set target time for the project. I will furthermore practice self-awareness to handle the team members and practice relationship management to handle the team members regarding making informed decisions. I will continue motivating individuals to deliver vision mixed with quality activities and work for the best regarding leading the best business across by balancing well the financial reports and even financial statements.
I will continue being a role model to other team members for purposes of correcting any error and offering direction to different individual team members. Additionally, I will continue doing the right things in the right place and at the right time and excellently manage performance as a leader based on the objective of the unknown by the Johari window. I will stop being unapproachable as suggested in Goldman’s emotion intelligence framework. I will stop giving inflexible opinions and views following based on the Johari Window Technique and rather being accountable for the actions do regardingour team members according to assimilation QTR 6. I will also stop being distant from the team as a leader based on the objective of the unknown by the Johari window.
