Answer 1

Some of the most important skills that are needed for a very good manager or a leader is problem-solving, decision-making, planning, delegation, communication, time management, empathetic listening, team work etc. A combination of these skills makes one a better leader or manager.

I communicate well with my colleagues and makes sure that everyone understands their roles when I assign duties. I work well with my team members and lead as the first among the equals. I also listen empathetically to my team mates and do the needful.

I would like to improve upon my decision making skills and problem solving skills. If I improve these I will be able to make effective decisions and implementation. I would also improve my planning skills because a well-planned activity is half done.
