Benchmark Leadership Personal Model

Settling on a wellness side business meant a strategy had to be developed to maintain it, especially on the onset. The initial cost would take time for full recovery, therefore, a safety net had to be set up. A good number of stocks of products such as vitamins and skin health supplements were necessary. This move, is an attempt at active management by exception, whereby as the administrator I would work towards a set target of weekly sales to turn the limited stocks to a profitable income.

Seemingly, this might have been a step away from the developing personal plan, but it contributed to the determination of values that would have to be adhered to in the long run. Division of time between my job and the new after-work engagement, heavily influenced my accountability. Responsibility called for effective time management and organizational skills. Further, the diverse inputs that go into running a wellness business challenged my sole proprietorship capabilities. Lessons learned from evaluating feedback submitted by my clients challenged me and over time, developed independence in better decision-making required.

Interaction with the society is inevitable, especially when dealing with a health business that serves the interest of each client. Developing a great relationship with customers and getting referrals from them contributed heavily to my interpersonal skills. Maintaining a balance between being a business owner and a working middle class is met with a lot of compromise, especially in decision-making and self-development meant to elevate the side business while chasing to fulfill a career requirement (Kramer, 2007).

Further, working with a team means that I will have to be accommodating and personal in approaching each of my staff. Not only does this affect my team, but also very crucial in interaction with other companies that I deal with at work. The same values are necessary with my direct clients. This plan is therefore a commitment to make my impact in my respective positions.

The plan outlined is my blueprint for making an impact in multiple capacities. As a worker on my regular job, I contribute to the society through my developed skills with the aim of making the society a better place. As a family provider, the plan and values adopted are my path to impacting the society in terms of happiness and a pace setter for younger members of the society. Further, being a business owner is my contribution to the economy and a pride accomplishment among my peers.

The described particulars are my general ambitions towards achieving my pursuit of a successful life, equally marked by a happy thriving family. Thus, the setting of goals and adoption of necessary strategies to achieve them is the concept for my ideas. A transactional leadership model is therefore a befitting vessel for the taking off and achievement of my personal plans. Once goals are achieved, new ones will be adopted and equally followed through.
