Assignment:
The team leader will be responsible for setting up team meetings, running the meetings, managing and coordinating team tasks, communicating with team members and the course instructor (if necessary), and turning in any project-related deliverables on behalf of the team.
One week after your leadership period, you will individually prepare and submit a 2 to 3 double spaced page assignment that analyzes your own team leadership effectiveness and answers the questions below.
1. How did your team members respond to your team leadership? In order to answer this question, you will need to ask for and gather specific feedback from your team members.
2. Did you follow similar practices and behaviors each time you led the team? Why or why not? If you changed practices and behaviors, how did this reflect your own thoughts and/or the feedback provided by your team members?
3. What particular management skills and/or theories from our class did you find most useful/valuable to you as team leader? Why?
4. How did you handle challenges you faced as a team leader? Simply stating you did not experience any challenges is not sufficient!
5. Identify one important lesson or key takeaway which you have learned about leadership from your experience and explain how you will apply it to other teams of which you are a part in the future (such as for other classes, sports or student organizations, and professional internships or jobs)?
