The personnel learning development plan which I had created at the start of the project consisted of

becoming a successful presenter, not to use notes in presentations, as well as creating and
implementing new ideas for better life communications. I believe I have completed the tasks i set for
myself as i had became a much more confident presenter whichI had recognized after my final
presentation, were i had reduced my dependence on the need for cue cards and spoke with comfort
and confidence.I believe i have done my best to lead the team I was placed in throughout the semester, I
communicated efficiently and explained what needed to be done when certain team members were
lost. For example, I assisted in keeping members up to date with the work they had been assigned
through facebook, as well as reviewing the work completed by members to ensure no mistakes were
made. Heathfield states that even though you have a specific job function and you belong to a specific
department, you are unified with other organization members to accomplish the overall objectives
(Heathfield 2014). This quote resonates with the core meaning of what it is to be a an effective team
player, which is to help your fellow member. I do believe i could have done a better job at becoming a
better leader to help guide my team members. This was because i would sometimes get distracted by
talking about unrelated subjects with other group members such as James and Henry.To become a better
leader I should of followed the 12 steps suggested by Bakken, which involves clarifying common goals
and purposes as well as each person’s role in achieving their common purpose. Paying closer attention to
conflicts when they arise, working out ways to resolve conflicts, making sure team members interact at
meetings and leave room for minority or unpopular views to spark innovation. Appraise and reward the
team as a whole as well as appraise and reward each group member individually when they
contributepositively to the team etc (Bakken 2007). I believe if I had followed these steps the team could
have performed better in group meetings and assignments by having a better understanding of what was
required of them.
