By working in a team, I gained valuable knowledge and experience. Being part of a team has been both rewarding and intimidating. Honestly, I tend to dissuade teams. Experience has taught me that not having the opportunity to vet other members of your team can lead to problems. Participating team members do not always carry their own weight. People act as if their contribution is enough. Another type of team member who is a micromanager. Wanting to micromanage team members with every move. Then there's the person who doesn't want to share their work with the rest of the team. Procrastinators bring their part of the project late, which makes the entire group project late. Introverts have good ideas, but any response or contribution from them must be extracted from them. I have had the opportunity to work with all these types of people and others. I have to say it was a learning curve for me. I have been a team leader, a team player and even had to do all the work, for the team. If you work in a team, simply sit down and observe in your meetings who fits best into which roles. This is not an easy task. There are people who want to be a leader simply because they think the leader's task is the easiest. The leader has the hardest job on the team. They must be diplomatic, neutered, caring, organized and ready to help when needed. Leaders also have to make difficult decisions. Keeping in mind that they must do what is best for the team in order to succeed in their mission. Being part of a team also means putting aside your personal feelings to help the team succeed. Speaking from experience, I've worked with people I didn't like personally, or didn't like middle of paper......r in accounting. Yes, I have found that these plans can and do change. This is due to both internal and external influences in my life. Yes, I learned techniques from this course. Realizing that I already use the techniques, at home and in school lessons. I applied some of the organizational management skills. Plan, set goals and decide how to achieve them. Organize, arrange tasks and people to accomplish the work. Lead, motivate, direct and influence people and I work hard to achieve our goals. Control, monitor performance against objectives and take corrective action if necessary. By reading, I learned a lot about management and I found this course quite informative. I am sure I will be able to learn even more techniques that I will apply in the future to help me achieve my goals..
