Effective management will provide benefits that include but are not limited to; understand team dynamics, develop key employees, be able to delegate and motivate and finally be able to make informed decisions at a managerial level. In this essay I will reflect on the advantages of management skills development processes. In particular, I will focus on leadership, motivation, communication, time management, decision making, problem solving and people skills. I will provide my personal insight, with examples of my strengths and weaknesses. Finally, I will describe points for improvement and areas that will enable future success. Leadership is applied and demonstrated through a number of different aspects. A respectable leader must have a positive attitude and outlook towards daily tasks and most difficulties. Leaders are able to endure in times of crisis, while being able to use emotional intelligence and critical thinking to act and react creatively in difficult situations. Leaders must motivate their employees and colleagues, display self-confidence and little self-doubt, and finally, most importantly, a leader must provide a compelling vision for the future. An example of a high-profile person with exemplary leadership skills is Bill Gates, who despite his early failures, with continued passion and innovation led Microsoft and the software industry to many successes.
