Encourage each one to share their understanding of the matter no matter how little the understand is. • Example The strength of our team was its group members .We made sure each of the team members shared our views and expectations of the Capsim journey.

    When one is part of a team that has good leadership is an awesome feeling. The whole group is flowing together as one, everyone sharing the same common goal that started out with a basis idea.

  • Leadership In Everest Simulation

    The role of the leader in the Everest simulation was to motivate, instruct, resolve conflict and achieve group goals. I, as the team leader, made the point of differentiating myself from a manager, to someone who was extraverted, energetic and driven, within and outside of the simulation. This involved organising location times and communication between members, drawing up the team contract and building relationships between team members beyond the classroom. During the simulation however I chose to adopt a less prominent role to minimise conflict and maximise satisfaction.

    Our team did really well with making sure everyone’s ideas were heard, but conversations with another team, who did not successfully complete the simulation, was because one or two people took the lead, and other group members were hesitant to speak up. Compared to other teams, our team managed group thinks effectively. One other team saved more money than us when they completed the challenge, which confirms the assumption we should not have made in trying to implement as many tasks as we did. Every team had challenges with time constraint which was due to a number of factors such as: brand new teams, unclear instructions, and a drop in team morale when the system gave negative feedback at a wrong task. While the successes and challenges were magnified because we were living the experience, and outside observer would have a difference of

    I am not going to lie this class was my hardest it felt like I didn’t know what was going on at all time. It not like I wasn’t learning anything in there is just that I didn’t really get the class at all. Every time went on Capsim to do work I never get anything do because I didn’t know what I was doing. Is not like I didn’t like the class the class I just us doing the Capsim online was hard for some people because they didn’t know what to do.

  • Analysis Of The Everest Group Simulation

    The Everest team simulation was a valuable experience that taught me how to apply the foundations of the management course into real and first-hand team situations. The success of a team and their performance depends on their initial stage of development as well as their structure. A team with an established team structure and maturity over the different stages of group development proved to be extremely successful. The decision making and conflict resolution techniques were also influential in the overall performance of a team. Ultimately, effective communication is the key to success when working in a team. On the other hand, ineffective communication may be the team’s downfall. The simulation exercise was a solid example towards work group situations and is a valuable first-hand experience.

    As the old saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure." The dynamics of a team can be very diverse. Sometimes that's good and sometimes it's bad. It is so important to extinguish all issues from the very beginning because otherwise they lie buried and slowly build into something that is blown out of proportion. It is important to safeguard the team from this by setting up a system of routine meetings, and team rules to where people have a chance to discuss and solve potential problems in an open unbiased forum.

  • Continuous Quality Improvement Team

    Review of the questions in self-assessment 10.1 helped determine that this team was successful in more ways than one. Team members were able to voluntarily join the team and once the projects were completed they could stay with it or move on and someone else could join to assist with the next project. Team members were often asked by the managers to volunteer and this was considered a privilege as it meant your voice mattered. The team members worked well together, meetings were well planned with agendas, proper follow up and input from everyone involved. Goals and objectives were clearly defined in the charter and code of conduct. There was a considerable amount of trust involved as the management often enacted the recommended changes from the CQI teams as a result of the proven track records and complete data and research. Each team member was self-aware and recognized the uniqueness and diversity of the
