students learn more effectively by allowing them to draw connections between what they
have learned and how they see the world (Chen et al., 2017). Students may improve their
academic performance and open up new avenues of thought and understanding via
introspection. During my formal education, I learned about the importance of good leadership
in driving an organisation towards its goals. Oviawe at al., (2017) note that in today's
corporate environment, lifelong learning is essential for professional growth and acquiring a
robust theoretical basis in the management field. The prospect of employment at Westminster
Green Management Company Limited is highly attractive owing to the organization's notable
track record within the sector (Agarwal, 2020). I am attracted to the demanding and
multifaceted aspects of the managerial position, which has the prospect of addressing

During the preceding two-year period, I have proactively pursued many avenues to

and experience. Given the fuzziness of the terms "leader" and "leadership," those who can fix
problems using their expertise are leaders. Krasnoff (2015) argues that to be successful,
leaders need to have powerful communication abilities, the ability to negotiate, an innovative

From my observation, an effective leader encourages and informs their team members
to better their collective talents. I believe conceptual understanding is not enough for leaders
to solve challenges; they also need relevant operational expertise. According to Daskal

ability to think critically about my experiences will help me become the kind of effective
leader I aspire to become. The organisation may inspire me, because there will be moments
when I, too, will need inspiration to assist others in their tasks (Farrell, 2017). Remarkable
world figures I have examined include Tim Cook and Warren Buffett, who have redefined
leadership to pave the way for new forms of success. These individuals are outstanding
because they always try to improve themselves and can help others do the same (Agarwal,

learners are not often taught about more advanced levels of professional conduct, I recognise
that it may take time to cultivate an attitude of reverence for myself and others collaborating
with me (Farrell, 2017). There are many helpful resources available, such as seminars and
programmes, but they will only be useful if the information is put to good use. The
truthfulness of an authority figure is what gives his words and actions their worth (Wan,
2017). My future self as an executive want to take on more accountability and build trust
among peers and reports so that they are willing to follow my example in working towards
organisational goals.
Potential leaders may benefit from adopting a reflective mentality to gain insight into
their behaviours and adapt accordingly (Geithner & Menzel, 2016). As part of my mentoring,
I participated in reflective exercises that will help me refine my leadership abilities and
improve my social skills in the future (Farrell, 2017). The instructor asked us some free-form
inquiries during one of the classes to gauge our understanding of administration and its
significance (Agarwal, 2020). I also encountered a task in which participants were asked to
define leadership in their own words (Ghasabeh et al., 2015). We also held several
feelings, and potential answers (Pierce and Newstrom, 2017). It was encouraged that every
learner read and comment on the work of their peers. As a result, everyone could express
their opinions and thoughts to one another without arguing during the subsequent activities.

programmes for fostering organisational growth (Agarwal, 2020). A company's head should
be able to demonstrate leadership qualities while also guaranteeing that all employees are
treated fairly and that the business can adapt to meet the demands of its customers (Farrell,
2017). As a leader, it is my responsibility to devise a sound strategy for the company's future
and oversee its implementation so that it may better compete in the competitive marketplace
(Farrell, 2017). To be successful in this role, I will need to anticipate and adapt to problems
that arise from the next level of management, take action within my circle of influence, and

what it is like to be a transformative leader, an essential quality for any leader (Agarwal,

dealing with disciplinary issues or spotting when moral guidelines are beginning to fall.
Organisational changes in this context are less certain and more transactional or task-
oriented.
In this framework, I was able to discover important characteristics and abilities, but I
also identified areas for improvement that would help me evolve into a more effective leader.
I have made plans to get this by focusing on three specific areas. My first goal is to
strengthen my time management skills to face challenges better and interact with my co-
workers independently (Korejan and Shahbazi, 2016). I have made plans of action to bring

about these desired enhancements. I plan on drawing on prominent leaders' advice in private
development and organisational management (Cherry and Gans, 2023). One of my initial
courses of action is to develop more effective time-management abilities. A bad prognosis for
enterprises results from inadequate agency and time control. The leadership performance

which can immediately impact the best that can be achieved in the challenge (Pierce and

(Farrell, 2017). Nonetheless, this is challenging since I am always attending to the important
responsibilities of the day. My capacity to establish relationships with others is a key factor in
my success in business (Geithner & Menzel, 2016). I like to keep my door open and try to be
friendly. The many distractions and side-tracks make it difficult for me to meet my deadlines.

recognising that this practice will facilitate the visualisation of my goals. This step will
establish a suitable deadline to attain my objectives, imbuing the goal with a sense of
urgency. I will carefully outline and document the necessary tasks that need to be completed.
The subsequent phase will entail further developing my readability, acknowledged wants and
targets, and formulating a strategy based on a checklist (Pierce and Newstrom, 2017).
Engaging in a short period of pre-planning one's daily activities can result in time savings
over an extended period. Henceforth, I shall enumerate the many duties or objectives that
necessitate completion monthly, weekly, and daily. Additionally, I shall diligently strive to
accomplish these goals per my predetermined plan. The use of month-to-month and regular
checklists has been associated with improving performance and effectiveness, leading to
improved motivation and a sense of pressure (Ghasabeh et al., 2015). This is mostly

between addressing urgent and important issues in one's professional life. According to
Pierce and Newstrom (2017), four quadrants categorise tasks based on their importance and
urgency. These quadrants are as follows: (I) tasks that are both crucial and pressing, (II) tasks
that are crucial but not so urgent, (III) tasks that are not fundamental but still urgently
required and (IV) tasks that are no longer necessary and no longer urgently needed. Upon
