Choosing the leader was one of the most important processes in this project. The leader we chose for our group was Matt Vack. The first time meeting with the group we all talked about who wanted to be the leader and who should be the leader. We chose Matt because he felt comfortable leading us as a group and was confident about it, Matt also volunteered and said that he has no problem doing this. So then Matt was the chosen leader of this group for our project.…
Wanting something is one thing, but sitting there and doing nothing about it is another. That’s pretty silly, right? Something that is desired usually doesn’t come to you with little to no effort, for some of us at least. Moving up in the work place and becoming a Target Team lead can be quite challenging, as well as rewarding. Being a student- worker is a lot to balance, but if I am going to go to school full time and work full time I at least want to make a good wage.…
Our team members were born elsewhere, not in Fresno, and we came from different backgrounds and cultures; however, we share the same interests in the Business Industry. As a group, we have decided to choose a symbol that best represents us, which is the picture of the world with the words One World as seen above. Even though we have different cultures and backgrounds, we value each other’s ideas and creativity, and we work together to reach our common goal. Building good relationships with members from different cultures and backgrounds is the key in establishing a strong communication infrastructure that is important for us to achieve our goals.

The captain’s spot was empty, as the seniors in the golf team graduated. So, I took the spot with ambition. However, on the first day of the practice, an unprecedented atmosphere crept me. The new players stood far from each other; the returning players stood together, hoping to avoid the awkward atmosphere and the new people.…
“Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish cooperation of many individuals,” said Albert Einstein. Through the unselfish cooperation of each individual group member in Larry’s group, they ended up becoming a highly effective team. Part 1 will be where the criteria section will be listed, discussing primary and secondary criteria that will be used to analyze the group, after that Part 2 will be the analysis section where both the primary and secondary criteria concepts are applied to the group, then finally Part 3 will be the recommendation section where both short term and long term recommendations to increase group effectiveness will be suggested. The primary criteria that will be used to analyze Larry’s group is based…

As humans, we need certain practices that support our physical, emotional and mental well-being to work. For a leader to be a leader they must know what matters in the organization and what it needs. As a leader they should have to have a certain amount of confidence in themselves. It should exude from their presence. It requires a level of belief in themselves.…
The development of successful professional relationships involves harmonising the self and others, which serves as the basis of forming effective teams that drive towards success and progress (Necsoi, 2015). A team is defined as a group of interdependent individuals with complementing skills and shared goals, and who have been given specific roles to perform (Costa, Passos, & Bakker, 2014). Work engagement and pro-social motivation are important constructs that underlie a successful teamwork, which my team and I have experienced during a recent project on developing intervention strategies for an organisation to promote physical activity among employees at the workplace. Our team consisted of five members and we went through Tuckman’s (1965)…
Individual Reflection Paper As humans, it is within our inborn nature to interact and cooperate with others. This is due to the fact that no one individual is perfect and capable in all ways. We are able to complement each other’s inadequacy through working as a group, hence this is why collective efforts often made things easier as compared to individual effort. While working in groups, we will experience changes in group dynamics and processes.…
Introduction As I reflect on this course and the results of the Questionnaires, Reflection, and Action Worksheets I have learned many aspects of leadership. I have analyzed the definition of leadership and now have a clearer understanding of it. According to, Introduction to Leadership; concepts and practice, by Peter Northouse (2015), leadership can be composed of many variables such as relationship, trait, ability, skill, behavior, and influence process. He also elaborates on how the “leadership of an individual can be used to influence a group to accomplish a common goal”. In addition, he discusses how leadership is not the same as management (Northouse, 2015, pp. 3-7).…
Many people have the fear of not doing well in sports. Many find it hard to cooperate with the people they play with. This problem happened because he or she feels less confidence, lack of motivation and commitment to do sports with a group of people. That’s why teamwork in sports is very important. You can win a game with talent, but teamwork and intelligence will give you the championship (Michael Jordan, 1994).…
There are many reasons why a person might become defensive during a conversation. There are many different ways a person may act and do when they become defensive. Face-attacking, silencing, and gunny sacking are all effective ways to make the other person feel uncomfortable, put down, or defensive also. One way to not feel as defensive is face-enhancing conflict strategies, which is the opposite of face-attacking. Instead of criticizing the other person’s abilities and attributes try to see them in a more positive light.…
Leading a team is a skill that takes time, determination and commitment. Leadership is a quality that is needed to lead a team to great success. Leaders must lead by example because they have to be good role models to the rest of the members. Leaders are very knowledgeable about the topic, very respected and someone you look up too. Leadership allows a person to communicate with their team and provide each member with steps to accomplish their goals.…
Apparently, the interactive nature of a knowledgebased society and a knowledge-based economy mandates the ability to collaborate. “Those who have successfully created cultures of innovation and creativity suggest that one key is to… embrace participation, collaboration, networking…” Collaboration and teamwork is such a key element to many aspects of life - it appears everywhere, and this skill comes in handy later in life in many situations, maybe even tomorrow. It took me a slight bit of willingness to give collaboration and teamwork a shot and understand what is behind it, it’s not just wanted or unwanted socialization, like I thought before, it might be the key to building a business empire, for all I can know. In the modern age, when a lot of the things are already invented, it’s hard to come up with something new on your own. It’s the innovation that rarely takes place in just one head.…
