This will help me develop as a team manager, and it will also help me to develop the skills and build the experience. I will give the team members the best advice which will also help them to grow as individuals (Sharif & Scandura, 2014).
2. 2. Adaptation of suitable interpersonal and leadership styles in order to convene with the precise circumstances – In order to adapt appropriate interpersonal skills, it is important for me to help if I find any problems in the organization.
