Managing a project team is actively managing the team to ensure that the work is being done to accomplish a project. A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result (Gray, Larson, 2014, pg. 6). The project team actually does the project while the project manager manages the project. Managing human resources is probably one of the most complex areas as people can be unpredictable, can give rise to an expected conflict, the level of their morale can go…
fourth weekend of October, the Emmaus Youth Association, (EYA), entered two U12 travel softball teams into the end of the year softball tournament at Northampton High School to see who would become the Lehigh Valley U12 Softball champion. The two teams were Emmaus Yellow coached by Bill Held, and Emmaus Green coached by Traci Krapf. In this double elimination tournament, a tournament that has a team lose two games instead of the traditional one, the Emmaus Green’s bats went silent as they lost…
realize and appreciate this as they work in its fast pace environment that promotes comradery and team work. The company itself is well established and has a vision that drives it to continue to expand and grow, in spite of an environment that is continuously changing with the desire of the consumer. The vision given to the marketing teams is one of building ‘brand belief’, in which each individual and team strives to not only create new and innovative ideas, but also connect with and create a…

Problem Analysis - Administrative Team As an executive assistant (EA) for a very large, global technology company, one of the most significant issues the group faces is an inconsistency in job duty execution. EAs have standard job duties as well as job duties that are unique to the department in which they are assigned. As EAs, we all share the same job title, yet we are individual contributors rather than part of a team or function. Because EAs are ranked and rated against one another, those…

When I was 14, I struggled on my soccer team, so I got private sessions with another coach twice a week. I would go out and practice and work over and over again. These trainings were painfully boring, but my coach would simply ask me to do drills over, pointing out mistakes I made as I went. I nearly quit. Towards the end of the season, the C team coach, someone who I didn't know at all, came up and asked me to try playing with him for a game or two. During the games, I started out feeling…
WHOOSH! That’s the sound of the opposing team scoring one of many excruciatingly painful goals. Last year my lacrosse team entered an All Star tournament in Wilmington, North Carolina unknowing the fatal consequences. Don’t get me wrong, our team was good but nowhere near All Star status and our record shows crystal clear that we were not ready for the ocean of skill but rather showed we should stick in our quiet, desolate puddle. My theory on why my team’s numb skulled coaches entered us is…
"The A-Team" is a song written by Ed Sheeran and released in 2011, the song is about a woman addicted to "level A" drugs, such as opium, meth, and other hard drugs. Someone who is addicted to a "level A" drug and is a woman, is typically called being a part of the A-Team. If a woman is part of the A-Team, it means she is most likely addicted to a "level A" drug and cannot afford the drug or much else for the matte. Which results in the woman becoming a hooker or prostitute so she can earn enough…
"I do not have control over who makes the team or not; with that being said, returning members may be cut." I knew from the instant my coach said that it was a lie. Of course, she had the control as to who made the team or not. Anyway, I did not think it would matter to me. I have been on the team for two years dancing with the junior varsity, my freshman and sophomore year. I got chosen to choreograph and teach several dances throughout the two years. I was always put in the front for…
