Here in this very project, we are going to explore both the strengths and weaknesses of self-leadership with the help of a lot of literature. Along with the very process of exploring it, we are also going to identify the processes needed to evolve the leadership quality via the developing as well as enforcing various kinds of different strategies. All this would result in improving the all over performance level in a specific span of time which would get followed by a goal setting worksheet. The goal of this project is also to chart out the greatest number of the objective following which would lead us in achieving the goal. So the identification of the kinds of barriers that one would face while trying to achieve those goals is very important. Along with these, the identification of the rationale of the very goal is also another factor of utmost importance. These studies regarding the identification and the exploring the personal abilities that are required for becoming a strong and dependable leader is hence a very important and essential task.
Goal of the study
For the best and sound performance of the human resource department, the human resource managers need to consist of the quality of leadership that would let them handle all kinds of problems of the subordinates and would thus all over the result in bringing a positive output from a specific project. The managers with the right leadership qualities would not only help in increasing the efficiency of the team but would act as an inspiration to the rest of the department. The rightful application of the strategies and the correct processes of enforcing them following with preparing a strategic worksheet are sure going to need for the positive output.
The rationale to set up the goal
In the human resource management, it has been observed that some of the cases could be handled with a high-efficiency rate; on the other hand, few of them could not perform in the manner by which they were expected to perform. In the long-term leadership practice, it is superbly important to keep track of all kinds of aspects and to keep the subordinates satisfied as well as motivated. They also are needed to be convinced by the manager to follow the decision strategies of the company and to abide by them with an affirmative mindset.
In the long practice of the evolution of the effective leadership, by closely observing many evidence-based practices, it would be found that the processes of delegations and of personal intervention with the other employees and subordinates reflect what it takes for accomplishing a given task or project. The positive attitude of the leader or the rightful intervention of the manager in a project work would help the other team members to make the working environment much more competitive and positive. The rightful explanation ability along with the proper evaluation of the requirements and also the performance process to the subordinates helps in enhancing the project quality and all over work quality. Hence the role of the team leader and the manager plays an important role in the increasing the efficiency of the company. If the manager or the people responsible for guiding the whole team himself or herself lacks the abilities to inspire and show the right path to the rest of the team then it sure leads in deterioration of the allover efficiency of the company, which would result in less completion of the projects in a perfect way. It would then result in lowering the profits of the company and thus would lower the growth rate of the company. Hence, it is very much important for the companies to hire and keep manager suitable for the job role as the future of the company could get affected owing to a bad decision in this case. So, the failure of the manager to lead the team as a whole result in the failure of the all-around management which is also responsible for the affirmative outcome from the job placement activities.
In many cases, it had been found that the managers show no enthusiasm to develop their skills of leadership which ultimately restrict the performance of not only the manager but also of the subordinates. This issue is found to develop partially due to the lack of the ability due to the reluctance of the company and also due to lack of right training programs availability. Along with all the lack of the evaluation program of the managerial leadership quality of the company to control the followers is a major problem.
Research has also shown that most of the employees at the initial phase are not aware of their full potential and hence tend to be confident. The role of the manager thus become crucial in this aspect because it is in this instances that the manager should try to aspire and motivate the subordinates and try to get the best out of them by evolving their confidences and self-belief in a positive manner.
So the manager and the team leader plays a role of utmost importance hence the companies need to focus more on training their manager to evolve their leadership skills more which would result in improving the job efficiency of the company and would benefit the company in the long race. So this study possesses a high significance that is to be performed for the development of the skills followed by a number of other different stages. The theoretical view shows that different types of leadership qualities are found to exist among the individuals of the company. Placing them in ideal roles as per the need of the company in a right manner decides that the company would be successful or not in the future. The development of the formulation of a rightful leadership quality development worksheet would serve as highly benefiting from uplifting the leadership skills of the managers as well as the other employees possessing a high post in the company. So all these would help in the better yield of the performance of the managers and other employees as the leaders.
Status of personal leadership quality
The identification of the personal leadership qualities is a very important need, to fulfill which a company depends on t certain aspects like the dominance, steadiness and the Conscientiousness profiling tool. Also, the influence aspect is also stressed upon. These four are regarded as the key aspects for the identification of the leadership quality in an individual for obtaining the required strengths and weaknesses from different aspects. All of these elements have their own positive and negative sides. So the all over a balanced practice of the leadership qualities in an employee impart a positive impact and influences the whole character to become a better leader. From the various other activities, identification of the facts that dominance and the influencing qualities in a leadership quality are of utmost importance and is often found to be absent in the dealings. On the contrary, the steadiness of the hand and the dedication along with the seriousness of the employees is very much needed to be more and more developed as the all over performance of the employees ultimately decides the future of the company.
The manager of every company needs a number of qualities reflecting the four specific dimensions of the assessment tools. Hence the consideration of the quality paraments have been done and hence applied.

From this chart, it could be identified and understood that both the strengths and weaknesses of my leadership practice need to be improved a lot. The application of a number of strategies in that regard could be used. However, the evaluation of the overall leadership quality has also been conducted for locating the benefits and in better dealing of the employees. A survey has previously been done and according to the results, the weaknesses and the strengths have been identified. The rightful interactions with the employees not only helps in making the effective decisions but also helps in knowing their understanding and mind frame for dealing with certain portions of the project. The team management, in general, is responsible for the interaction between the subordinates and the higher authorities. I myself have faced a lot of conflicts between the employees that have resulted in disturbing the team spirit. It is true that true leadership qualities are mostly found to be an inborn feature. However, it is of utmost need for the companies to identify the right suitable candidates for the managerial role that have got the ability of managing people in a smooth way and is standing beside them and boosting their work efficiency in times of need. Then the companies should also undertake certain courses and seminars that would result in evolving those already present the leadership abilities of the team leaders and managers, as these would directly benefit the company.

There sure are a lot of barriers that could be identified in various studies. Some of them are as follows:
Fear of Failure: Many times, it happens that the employees with great potential end up underperforming as they are not in their right frame of mind and are under confident (Reid et al. , 2018). As a result of which they are often found to be less brave in their decision making capability and suffer from the fear of failure. This disturbs their progress in the skill development for the leadership roles.
Doubting on oneself: Doubting on oneself is an alarming sign for any employees here the employee is restricting and hampering his or her better chances of job performances by self-doubting. As a result, their activities are influenced due to such alarming thoughts. This stops them from growing in confidence as an individual and hampers their smooth scope of getting good job appreciation and in receiving better job record.
Fear of taking the wrong decision: Often times it happens that the project works are needed to be handled with delicacy and if mishandled could end up costing the company. Therefore, it is often seen that the team members in the process of completing a project suffer from decision-taking problems as they tend to over think and over-complicate the simple process into a complicated one.
Lack of understanding on the personal ability: Knowing and being confident about the self-talent and what one could do is a remarkable thing. As their confidence is reflected in their job performance. However, many fail to understand the potential they possess themselves. As a result of these, they often end up being under confident and less successful in job life. Hence, they fail to fulfill the various terms needed to be a supreme leader.
