The best way to portray the ideal work environment and the behavior expected of a team is by exemplification. I believe a great leader is part of the process and stands on the front line with the team. I won’t expect someone to fulfill a task or duty that I wouldn’t complete myself. By putting myself alongside my team, I believe I create a supportive environment and sense of relatability between myself and my team. I want to relate to them and them relate to me so that I can pass on my…

As I enter the arena I hear the crowd chanting. I can see both teams warming up before the game. As I sit on the bench, I can feel the soft texture of cotton as I start to tie my shoe-lace. I start in my position as tip-off starts. My teammate gets jump ball and the ball is in my hands. I feel rubber as I dribble towards the net while hearing a ball bouncing on the court. I shoot the ball and it goes in! I have the ball once again as I pass it to my teammate and he scores. Half time is about to…

So I looked up minor league baseball teams and the name El Paso Chihuahuas caught my attention.

So I decided to contact her and was able to talk to her first hand the moment I called. Being that she is women and of Mexican descent I was very…

You bring up some great points! Your second paragraph, Vyas as manager verse Vyas as facilitator, is where I centered my analysis and would like to further expand upon. As you pointed out, Vyas surrounded himself with a talented team headed by a manger he previously had a professional relationship with. However, I believe Vyas miscalculated the gravity of the project he took on. The Filtration Unit was not a priority for ART and thus not apart of the “Fast Track Pipeline” program. Vyas…
