My Team Reflection

Improved Essays
The purpose of this memo is to evaluate myself and my team members’ contribution to the presentation. We named our team “The Project Team”; which includes Brianna Rebelo, Tatenda Mudeke, Fatima Armaghan, and I. The companies we chose to analyze are Staples and RadioShack. Tatenda created the team charter, I did the team schedule and research for bibliography, Brianna did all the editing and organizing, and Fatima did some research about the companies. We shared our work equally throughout the project.
In fact, the strengths of our team were team work, organized, great communication and determination. I believe everyone in my team had unique skills that were different from other team members so, this was one of the most important reasons made us to give this successful presentation. Tatenda created a perfect team charter that clearly stated everyone’s duty for the entire project and also explained the consequences that we could face by not obeying them. This team charter was created upon the agreement of all the team members. I personally feel that everyone stayed on track for the most part and did obey the team rules throughout the project. My team’s communication skills

However, team members had several situations that they couldn 't keep up with the schedule due to their personal commitments and that potentially stopped us from moving further. Indeed, during the team meeting we explained them the potential consequences that they could face for not keeping up with their work, but they quickly rectified their mistakes. I would say this was the one and only weakness of our team. We could have been stricter in confronting the team members who didn 't do their work on time. In other words, we should have not been so liberally from the beginning on. In order to avoid these kinds of situations in the future, I will contact the professor or team leader to take appropriate

I assigned sections of the invention to each person so each had ownership in success the design. As a team, we all need to agree or disagree with the group’s decision and live with the design and the direction that we take.

Even though the struggles within a team can derail timelines on projects, working in a team can be beneficial because team work can help lessen a big project and team work allows for other viewpoints.

    Through doing the Team Final Project exercise, I gained many insights about interdisciplinary/ cross-functional teams, the most importing being that this was a valuable learning opportunity. I learned how to work with people whom I have never met before or interacted with in person. I learned more about how businesses are run. I learned about different organizational structures such as the matrix structure. Working on this project helped me understand how Bruce Tuckman’s Team-Development model is applied to real life situations.…

    For this assignment, my group’s topic was Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how it is prevalent in the novel, ‘Speak’ by Laurie Hall Anderson. My responsibility was to do the facts and statistics slide and to do the two characters that experienced/influenced PTSD slide. While working on the assignment, I did run into some challenges. The biggest being that it was hard to find facts and statistics on PTSD that were Canadian and relatively recent. I ran into this issue because many websites that I found focused more on America, on worldwide facts and statistics, and the information was quite outdated.…

    There were 58 kids that went out for the freshman baseball team, 21 kids made the A/B team. The other 37 kids were on C team. Going into the first practice I was picturing myself in that group of 37 on the C team. One of the reasons I pictured myself on C team was because most kids going out for baseball were 8-10 months older than me and were about 4-6 inches taller than I was. But kids being older and bigger didnt not determined how hard I worked.…

    Team Meeting Reflection

    As I reflect on my internship I realize it actually started during the summer, my principal asked that I be involved in the Summer Leadership meetings. The school representatives for these meetings were the principal who is a first-year principal with a high school background, the assistant principal who is a first-year administrator and another assistant principal who has spend most of his time in high school, the multi-tiered system of support coach, who is also new to the school and me. This combination was very interesting because I was the only one who had any experience at the school. This combination of administrators has made my internship a bit difficult, simply because they are learning their own roles and responsibilities, so it makes it difficult for them to assign me any of those roles and responsibilities. I have often felt as they feel I am…

    My strengths in the project were as follow: I was able to research my part of the project efficiently and I found some very useful information, I compiled and refined the paper. My weakness in this team assignment was my impatient with the team’s leader continuous duplicate posting of the same information, but I the end of the day, I had to remind myself that it was her managing style and to bring the project to fruition, I had to overcome my impatience. I believe that I have done this assignment to the best of my abilities and if I could have improve my part of the assignment, it would have to be instead of having done so much research that was not even use in the final project; I should have had research only the key points that was going in the slides. Lesson learned and I now know better for next time. Effectiveness of team meeting written objectives…

    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 member received which roles, or even set a proper meeting time.…

    We all tried, but I think some of us took the project more seriously than others. Kevin was always late to our meetings event though when we created the team contract we agreed to be punctual unless there was an emergency. I doubt that there was an emergency every single week when we met. I think Amy and myself did most of the work, we had to assign work for Kevin and Shaohui to do otherwise they would not take the initiative to do something unless we asked them to do it which was frustrating because Kevin was supposed to be the project manager and it was his responsibility to make sure that we were doing our part and being the leader of the team. I am not saying that it was all his responsibility because we are all adults and can do our part, but what I am saying is that they were not behaving as adults.…

    Reflection Paper II Throughout my college experience here in the Carroll School of Management, group work and the ability to work well with others has been emphasized greatly. This makes sense, because in a professional environment, the ability to communicate, listen and contribute within a group leads to success and the achievement of goals. However, none have gone on as long as this project, making it a more realistic example of working on a team. Junior year of college is definitely a crazy time, as we are forced to balance heavy workloads with extracurriculars and recruiting.…
