Leadership & Teamwork

During week 7 we had a task to work in our groups to create a small power point evaluating something that relates to what you are doing for your project. Since my group member was not here I was put with a couple others without group members. We decided to evaluate a game called inside. One group member Deacon, took the lead and put forward this idea. To make sure we all played our part as a team we all worked on different slides at once, discussing what we had done and how we could help each other if we got stuck especially with only having one hour to do the work. Once we all had done our individual slide we then did a final slide, this was our final summary of the evaluation relating to what we had looked at.

Throughout the project i haven’t really taken the lead while my partner did which fits our roles perfectly and links back to the psychometric test we did at the start of the year. As the weeks went on communication stayed strong as any new ideas or piece of work we came up or did we shared on discord to make sure the other person knew we were on track and taking the responsibilities of our designated role. To help back up my point about these roles working Sohmen (2013:4) states “strong leaders build strong teams: groups of people who work together in cooperative, goal-oriented effort” this shows having someone who’s confident leading will raise the people around them and help improve workflow and productivity.

At the start of the project I suggested we use Microsoft Teams to share the PowerPoint, which would allow for both of us to edit/add to the PowerPoint at the same time, which allowed for us to be as efficient as possible.
