Midyear Assessment:
After Leading Competency development:
Semester Reflection:
I am able to regularly provide constructive feedback and recognition to team members regarding job performance. The Secret To Having Influence Tedx Talk by Ron Carucci helped me understand the importance of paying attention to team members’ strengths, weaknesses, and work environments. This helped me to tailor your feedback to be relevant and specific to their roles and situations and recognise when my team members are doing great. This Tedx Talk taught me to be attentive and considerate of my team members individual contexts, which helps me to provide constructive feedback and recognition to team members.
After listening to Leaders Make It Happen by Maxwell Leadership Podcast I have tried work with my team members to identify goals for projects and help them with ways to successfully complete their assigned portion of the project. Learning about how leaders inspire growth in the people around them. Leaders also disseminate skills and knowledge they hold to the people in their organisation which leads to the growth of both the people and organisation. I have not been presented with the opportunity to help individuals make individual development plans, but I hope to one day be able to do this.
After my Semester 1 Reflection I have made efforts to make sure that I determine the best approach to conflict and that I am able to mediate conflict between individuals and groups.
From this group discussion, I learned that effective leadership is about guiding and inspiring others towards a common goal while genuinely caring for the team. It’s crucial to balance achieving objectives with the well-being of team members. By setting clear goals, regularly checking in, and holding everyone accountable, I can support my team without losing sight of our main objectives. Open communication and providing both praise and constructive feedback are essential to keep everyone aligned and motivated. Building trust and genuine relationships through empathy and understanding helps create a positive and productive work environment. Lastly, being adaptable and responsive to the needs of my team ensures that everyone feels valued and heard, which ultimately leads to better performance and success.
The key to effective leadership was very helpful in helping me realise the importance that consistency plays in leading other people. I learned that people are open to my leadership at different times, influenced by their past experiences. I can't force them to accept my style immediately. I need to avoid being overbearing and focus on consistently doing the right thing. By creating an environment where people feel seen, heard, and valued, they will be more willing to follow my lead and help achieve our objectives.
Through Personality & Leadership: Approaches To Leadership I learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. My personality traits, once seen as obstacles, can be harnessed as strengths, allowing me to adapt and grow as a leader in various situations. This makes me more confident in my ability to lead, knowing that I can use my unique personality to lead others.
In conclusion, my journey in providing constructive feedback and recognition has been shaped by valuable insights from various sources. Understanding team members’ strengths and environments, setting clear goals, and fostering open communication have been crucial. I’ve learned the importance of balancing objectives with team well-being, building trust through empathy, and being consistent and patient in my leadership approach.
