As the semester wrap up I can truly say this was one of the best team I have been a part of. I say this because I learned to trust my team members. This was hard for me to do before I took this class and I never realized that I have not trust my fellow team members. I guess it was more of fear when a professor says, “everyone in the group earns the same grade”. That is when my untrustworthy button comes on automatically. I learned how to trust by having an open mind and going with the flow instead of hovering over each team member. Every team member had a great communication skill going on. I liked how we all response in emails and text immediately. I have never worked with a team where I had a response so quickly. Everyone put their input in the project equally and everyone felt comfortable about what was expected and what the mission was. I was impressed with the team work, I enjoyed working with a team that contributed to the project. No one was left behind and was lost about what was expected of them. I also enjoyed building that team relationship. For an example the paper planes experience where we all had to come together and make plans as a team. Even though we lost we lost as a team. We learned from those mistakes and came to a conclusion of how to become a better team in the future projects. The Finance Team was full of motivation, nothing but positive vibes and words of encouragement. I kept my team laughing and motivated. I did this because it makes learning fun and I also learned with my words of encouragement we as a team believed nothing is too hard to concur. Leadership was leaded by the entire team. We all leaded each other to our goal. I liked how everyone was a leader in their own way. I can say that we all have the same major so we all started off with a similarity which was a plus. I can say that in the pass I see how and why we failed as a group. It was lack of trust, communication, motivation, leadership, and team work. Everyone in the group was not interested in the project that was given. I also failed as a group member not trusting my fellow group members. Notice I kept saying group and not team because I feel like a team is more proficient than a group. I am lucky I had Yin and Blong as a team. Although there were more things we wanted to add to the conceptual model but we felt like these were the most important ones to talk about. I can say that trust is the most important out of everything else that was listed. Without trusting your team there is no such thing as a team, it would be called a group. Everything is better when there are three brains coming together as one to make a high-performance team. Without taking this course I honestly say that I had no idea what I was doing wrong until I had learned about how to give other team members chances and trusting on another. A moment to remember I had was when we folded the paper air planes and Blong and I had forgotten how to fold them. That is when Jin said that he remembered how to do it. At this moment Blong and I was super excited that we had a team member to count on to teach us how to fold the paper planes. After, Jin showed Blong and I how to fold the paper planes we took a big risk that I came up with by folding ten paper planes at once. Surprisingly they both trusted me and be began to fold ten at a time. Then Jin and I trusted Blong when he said, “this time lets fold five paper planes at a time”. We did just that and made a success, but it was too late because it was the last round. We all learned how to combine our thoughts together to make one powerful team decision.
