What was your experience in working on a successful team? While attending graduate school at Regis I have been involved in many teams. The most successful team was for a course in which we were charged with working with the same team each week to complete objective needed for a final project. I believe this team was successful because before we started any work on the project we all agreed that we would work to get an “A” on the project – we had a “clear elevating goal” (Northouse, 2012). We…
Impact of Team Cohesion, Team Communication and Knowledge Sharing on Team Performance among Engineers Introduction The goals that are set up by the organization are to be achieved by the team is known as team performance (Aubé and Rousseau 2009). As Knowledge sharing is important among team members so when knowledge is shared among the team members, they make different analogies and abstraction between problems, the new problems are solved by experienced based skills (Zhuge et al., 1997).

The Capstone seminar and project course gave me a wide understanding of the whole MPA program, which include: teamwork, research, writing, analysis, decision making, problem-solving and oral presentations. It helped in providing me as a MPA student with the opportunity to integrate knowledge and skills learned in the MPA program in an applied practical examination of a public administration issue, which was about the factors that impact the U.S 50 states public higher education appropriations.…
These values are often the result of personal experiences, good or bad. How individuals view another member’s core values can have direct impact on the cohesiveness of a team. A person’s experiences not only shape their core values but also who he/she will become. Personally, I hold importance in: effective communication and response, take on responsibility and do your own part, help others when needed, listen to another’s…

Electra-Quik is an established company that has historically done well until recently, when a host of problems ranging from outside competition to company moral became apparent.

My leadership journey started a long time ago, when at the age of four I began to realize that my youngest brother was looking at me as a role model. He was mimicking everything I was doing and saying. At this young age I didn’t understand the tenets of leadership but I understood that I had to set an example because someone was following me. Since then, I further developed my commitment to helping people to excel, providing guidance with necessary and collaborating with people. My journey…
Co-Ed sports teams consist of athletes of both genders. These types of teams are typically only available for the younger kids, but what if it was an option for the older players too? Having the option to play co-Ed sports could be a massive push in the right direction for both the children involved, and the reputation of the school promoting it. The school would likely be the only one in town offering the student athletes a fun and healthy way to learn to work with others, relieve themselves…
Teamwork allows employees to take greater responsibility for decision making and also allows team members to control more of the work process. This can lead to improved morale decisions as employees gain more authority and ownership over the projects they are working on. The extra responsibility can lead to a more rewarding work environment and lower turnover. Working in a team also gives employees a greater sense of belonging and of recognition, which helps them take more pride in their work,…
After watching the presentation on team work and being in groups, it taught me the things that are necessary in order for a group to be successful. In order to be successful in a group, the group needs to plan everything out in advance, they need to communicate, and have a leader who can take the initiative. Notably when watching the presentation some of the observations I recognized included planning everything within the first two meetings. Throughout the presentation they did not say which…
