within the next two years.

1.7 My Leadership Styles
The leadership styles are divided into four main styles. Namely Autocratic, Supervisory,

If I further describe the leadership skills that I have, those are as follows.

Leadership Style How/When I use them
Autocratic Leadership Style The appropriate condition to use it is when I have all the required
information to solve a problem, and when my peers are well
motivated. I normally use this style until my peers or the people
who are involved are familiar with the tasks.
Democratic leadership style This leadership style suites the best. As I mentioned in the
previous style, I apply the autocratic leadership style with my
peers only when we are received a task or a group work. After
that I use this democratic leadership style accomplish the task.
When using this style to it is essential to listen to others, get
ideas from others and work with the rest. In this leadership style I
cannot do anything without others involvement. At the end the
leader brings out the final decision. This is usually used when I
have only a part of the information, and when my peers have
other parts. One of the most important advantages of this
leadership style is, it allows peers to become a part of the team
and it allows me to make better decisions.
Laissez faire leadership style In this style the leader allows the peers to make the decisions. I
use this leadership style when my peers are more familiar with
the tasks. When peers are able to analyze the situation and
determine what needs to be done and how to achieve it. However
as a leader (laissez faire) I am having the responsibility of the
decisions that will be made.
Supervisory leadership style I use this style while I am using autocratic and democratic and
laissez faire styles. This style causes to increase the performance
and team spirit of the group or among peers.

1.8 My Management Skills
Communication skills. Time management skills. Decision making skills. Conceptual skills.
Interpersonal skills. Technical skills. Leadership skills.
1.9 Effective performance for a job role
Communication skills and time management
As I mentioned above communication skills and time management will help me to set
examples and also it will help to perform better and also to achieve good results.
Problem solving
When we meet different people with different ethics and beliefs there are more chances of
ethics, problems and personal problems to rise so I must be aware of those. Ittakes time to
know different people and work on different methods to handle different kind of people in
different ways.
Knowledge
Since I want to work for a multinational company I know that I will have to learn the culture,
ethics and information of other employees and workers manage according to handle them
and also to have a good powerful relationship.
