Self awareness and prioritize to personal development

If a leader could not have self awareness and personal development then he will not be able to
develop others abilities and skills and definitely the firm or the organization can’t survive in the
competitive market if the leader doesn’t change himself.

Focus on developing others

Leaders always focus on their subordinates developing therefore they arrange training programs
and other motivational seminar to develop and motivate their staff if a leader could not focus on
developing other so the firm will have useless employees and will be un motivated and result in
company failure.

Encourages strategic thinking innovation and action

Good leaders always encourage strategic thinking, innovation and action because it plays a vital
role in finding the problems and their solutions if a leader doesn’t encourage these following then the
employees will not get more attention to this and then the firm will not be able to innovate something
new to attract the consumers and cannot find their problems and their solutions.

Q6
Draw and explain the personality matrix model of Dr. Eileen Russo? Explain each of the personality
type of the model?
Scientists have tried to categorize human behaviour for centuries. There are many models, but for our
purposes, we will use the model developed by Dr. Eileen Russo. Her model uses two dimensions of
personality: expressiveness and assertiveness.
Each personality quadrant represents a basic personality style. People can fall anywhere within each
quadrant, becoming more uniformly one style over the others as they move further from the centre.
Notice that the more assertive styles ‘tell’ others what to do. The less assertive styles ‘ask’ others what
should be done. The more expressive styles tend to show their emotions in their face, speech, and tone.
The less expressive styles will either not express or hide their emotions.

Low Expressiveness + Low Assertiveness = Systematic

Low Expressiveness + High Assertiveness = Direct
High Expressiveness + High Assertiveness = Spirited
High Expressiveness + Low Assertiveness = Considerate

Direct
People with direct personality styles like to be in charge. They like to take control and get to work – and
they’ll work hard. They look for results, are driven to succeed, and are often competitive. They have a
strong focus and are bold in their appearance. They are stubborn, determined, and powerful ideas. They
are not afraid to express their thoughts or make difficult decisions. They don't want to analyze things at
death - they want to get in, do it, move on to the next project. In some personality styles, specific styles
may appear such as pressure, impatience, stubbornness, and independence. They may not seem to
want other people's input, especially if it's something that can delay them from doing the work. They
may not take the time to listen to others or to hear that they need to explain to anyone else. Sometimes
they put the results first other people's feelings. Figure 5 to give you tips for leading a person with a
specific personality style.

Spirited
Spiritual personality is the ‘dreamers’ of the group. They can be like the Pied Piper, creates enthusiasm
and excitement for a vision or project. They are convincing, they have a vision the species are fond of
whatever they work on and will throw themselves into it their job by leaving. They prefer to do more
work to avoid boredom or steam. They are not afraid to take risks and often convince others to do the
same. Wind styles, while great at the beginning of a project, are not always so great in discoveryit's over.
They prefer the big picture to go down in the details of the work and attention to minutiae. It’s hard to
keep their attention for long because they prefer to do a lot of things at the same time. Time
management can be a problem for people with a spirit, as they may have a problem Deciding how long
the project will take to complete again so that they are inclined to commit to do more work than they
can actually do. They may have a hard time listening others, especially if what someone else says may
rain on their show.
 Allow time for brainstorming and let them express their ideas freely
 Explain ahead of time how much time will be allowed for discussion
 Praise them in front of other people
 Communicate by showing an interest in their ideas but redirecting them to the practical
 Understand that they may exaggerate
  Establish timetables with specific steps so your expectations are clear
 Set milestone deadlines in order to help them stay on task for the final deadline
 Challenge them to break down their ‘big ideas’ into specific outcomes and steps

Communicating with the spirit realm can be difficult for those who do not manifest themselves
naturally. Spiritual people love to entertain others with their emotionally rich myths, other personalities
they may not find pleasure - or they may find it annoying Yet their enthusiasm, the natural power of
coming up with new ideas, and their passion for their work are important qualities you can learn from
combine by setting the times when they are allowed to light up. Make time for a group lunch or
something else circles. If they have a new idea, make sure you give them credit for it - and better yet, let
them be the one to teach the whole group about it. Regular training in time management will take place
it is necessary, so make a plan to do that without embarrassing them in front of them co-workers

Systematic
Organized personality traits by analysts among us. They are determined and able to farm lots of data
and still hungry for more. They do well to identify and control details, and it makes sense their best
friend. They are flexible, rational, accurate, and often highly disciplined. They did research-based
decisions and analysis are emotional. They are patient and deliberate with their work style. They are for
business and rarely share anything with them themselves on an individual level. They like expected
processes and specific indications. They stick book, and he wants others to do the same. They value
impartiality and play by the rules, no matter what this.
However, systematics can sometimes have a difficult time making decisions due to overcrowding the
details they have compiled. They will always want more time for more details, and they can get it tied up
somewhere or in one place instead of seeing the whole picture as a whole. They may fear change and
get upset with their normal routine. They may not be able to see where the rules are require bending or
alternative should be made in laws or policies. Some may find them cold and you are not interested,
especially those who sound. They don’t do well with arguments, like them they often prefer to avoid
rather than to argue. They can block communication as a means of to deal with discomfort or
embarrassment. Several strategic leadership styles are included

 Focus on facts instead of opinions

 Try to be accurate and precise in your communication with them
 Give logical reasons for what you are doing and what you are asking them to do
 Allow time for the research and analysis phase of a project
 Set timeframes around when analysis should be done and the next phase should start
 Give them time to check facts and reflect on what they learn
 Be organized and prepared when you meet with them
 Avoid personal topics in your interactions
 When conflicts arise, focus on facts and figures over personalities and feelings

Considerate
The final personality style is considerate. These are the people who make people happy in your group.
They are natural team members, prefer to work and support others rather than work alone. They are
very good listeners, and seek to communicate with others on a personal level. If there is a conflict of any
kind, they will do it work for mediation. They will want everyone to have their opportunity, have their
say, and be informed by their contribution. They are natural advisors, nature trainers or mentors, and
they enjoy it to help others. They will encourage others to think critically and express their ideas,
otherwise they tend to do so themselves. Of course, niceness can also have its problems. Considerate
personality styles will not always be the case , or point out mistakes that others may have made. They
will be very worried about it other people's feelings in decision-making rather than facts. They can be
extremely emotional too you have made decisions that were not in your best interests. They tend to
avoid unpleasant situations such as change or conflict and can make what is needed to be included in
the group rather than what excellent project decision.

 Express a sincere interest in their feelings, thoughts, and personal life

 Foster trust in your relationship with them
 Reassure them that they are doing a good job, and correct them gently when they are not
 Try to move at a relaxed pace, giving them time to process changes
 Monitor their workload to ensure they haven’t taken on more work than they should
 Encourage them to ask questions and to share their opinion
 Let them know that you appreciate their help
 Give them opportunities to help others with projects or learning new tasks
 Help them identify goals that they can stretch for, but be certain they are achievable

Q9
A team develops in series of stages, explain those stages in sequence?

forming:
This is where group members first meet. It is important for team leaders to simplify
introductions and to highlight individual skills and backgrounds. Team members are also
provided with project details and the opportunity to plan their activities.

Storming:
At this stage, team members openly share ideas and use this as an opportunity to stand out and
be accepted by their peers. Team leaders assist teams in this category by having a system in
place to manage competition between team members, facilitate communication, and ensure
that projects stay in order.

Norming:
By now, the teams have figured out how to work together. There is no longer any internal
competition, and the obligations and objectives are clear. Each person works best because they
have learned how to share their ideas and listen to the answer while working for the same
purpose.

Performing:
There is high level of interaction and trust between team members. Teams work very well with
little observation from team leaders. Problems still arise, but in the meantime, teams have
strategies to solve problems without compromising lines and progress.

Adjuring:
The teams complete their project and discuss what went well and what can be improved in
future projects. After that, team members move on to new projects. Now let’s look at how you
can use this model to maximize power within your remote marketing team so that projects can
be successful and completed on time.
