The researchproblem lies in cooperation of employees in adopting codes of conduct about outdoor training. Italso leads to fear among people for outdoor training for coping up with the outdoor situation.The problem also extends to leaders to tackle the situation and their capacity to manage risks andtrain them with safety and securely.1.6) Research Question•How can leaders manage outdoor training effectively?•How effective communication is important in training? 6Chapter 2: Literature Review2.1) IntroductionPaisley et al. (2014) commented that in this dynamic market, people seek out several options forsuccessfully carrying out their passion. A leader builds the way so that they feel encouraged,self-sufficient and courageous to face such problems and tackle with such kind of situation.Through leadership, bridging of the relationship between leaders and interpreters are createdstrongly. While training outdoors, leaders are important as they train employees and peopleunder their guidance. This section will be discussing the importance of leadership, its scales, andthe importance of communication along with the role of leaders in outdoor training.2.2) Leadership and Its ImportanceAs per the opinion of Thorpe (2016), leadership is a management approach that maintainsindividuals, teams, and groups to work systematically for achieving both personal andprofessional goals. Leaders use their expertise; skills and knowledge promote individuals andgroups to work in a broad and open way. They integrate their experience with the willpower andeducation of the learners to achieve success in their business projects.

It also considers thefactors that leaders have such as communication and degree of understanding the learners.According to the point of view of Bellary et al. (2014), it is not always necessary thatexperienced leaders will be good leaders. It lies on their knowledge imparting and problem- solving capacities. The leaders are scaled by their enthusiasm, dedication, and enthusiasmtowards their work.Along with this, the degree of balancing the learner's outlook with that ofleaders also helps in scaling leaders. Leadership is also scaled through the degree ofcollaboration as well as coaching along with the shifting of learner's mindset. 72.4) Importance of Communication in LeadershipLaBelle et al.

Moreover, it also trains people and offer demonstrations, skillsout practice and have flexible time for better training. As stated by Harris et al.

As stated by Gagnon and Bumpus (2016), it is a methodicaland systematic approach that supports researcher in the successful accomplishment of theresearch work. It is unbiased in nature and helps the researcher in fulfilling the objectives that arerequired. This section will be discussing research approach and design, methods of datacollection, research ethics and limitations.3.2) Research ApproachAccording to the opinion of DuBrin (2015), research approach explains the interrelationshipbetween several principles and theories that help in the completion of project work. There aretwo types of research approach: inductive and deductive. In this research, the researcher will beusing inductive or bottom-up approach. It will help the researcher in moving from the specific tobroader concepts as per the requirement of research.3.3) Research DesignCooley et al. (2014) have commented that research design is the blueprint for a research workthat assists the researcher in following ways for accomplishing it successfully. It involves bothcollections as well as analysis of collected data. It is of 3 types: explanatory, descriptive andexploratory. In this research work, the exploratory design is used as it explores several theoriesfor explaining the solution. It is a framework that helps in gaining in-depth knowledge regardingthe topic.3.4) Data Collection MethodsData is one of the most important contributions to the success of a research work (Cheung,2015). In this research, both primary and secondary data collection methods are used. Primarydata is collected from face to face interviews and surveys of leaders those train outdoors.Secondary data is collected from books, articles, websites and journals.103.5) Research EthicsIt is essential to have ethics in a research work that explains the codes of conduct and rules of theUniversity under which this research work are conducted. None of the participants can be forcedto answer, or their responses cannot be customized (Bellary et al. 2014). The data that iscollected from secondary sources cannot be modified to meet the requirements of the researchwork.3.6) LimitationsBoth time and budget are the major limitations of the researcher while conducting the researchwork.Moreover, reliability and accuracy of the data collection is another limitation to theresearch work (Attarian, 2015). 3.7) SummaryThis section has explained the exploratory research design and inductive approach that theresearcher will be adopting for conducting the research work successfully. It also explains theadoption of both primary and secondary data collecting methods that help in the successfulconduction of research work.11ReferencesAttarian, A., 2015.
