Complete the following and turn in as a team assignment. There is no need to create any other
document, just complete this one, save as, and post for your team. Everyone earns the same
grade unless consequences of non-participation are enacted (see Worksheet 1b, #2). Make sure to
support your ideas, cite from the textbook, other course materials, and your research per APA
guidelines and as necessary. Minimums are set to ensure support for your discussion, while most
responses will need some type of support to add strength and validity. It is important to cite
definitions, and to earn Excellent the ideas need to be supported with source too. These
responses need to be based on some fact, not just the team’s opinion.

Team Name:

Revolutionary Masterminds

1) Name the three organizations the team would like to study during this course based
on the one sector it was assigned. Be sure to place them in order of desirability and
remember the first team to post gets preference.
a. Rare Beauty
b. Chipotle
c. Nestle

2) Communication Method(s). In this section list at least two different ways the team
agrees to communicate and with each other to have team success. You may want to
list everyone’s preferred email address or phone numbers.
a. Zoom
b. Canvas app, the team will re-evaluate in two weeks to see if we need to change to
different communication such as GroupMe.

3) Collaboration Method(s). In this section list at least three different ways the team
agrees to collaborate with each other. Think about how the team will be structured
to have team success. Also consider how each team members’ time will be used to
get the work done. For instance, it is best practice to have a rough draft complete a
few days ahead of the final deadline so the team can review and edit. There may
then be a second draft before the final. Everyone should have the chance to provide
input on all sections of the assignment before posting, so last minute compilation
may not be a good idea.
a. Shared Google doc with weekly assignment due

Spring 2023 2
 b. Group will come to the meeting prepared by adding notes to the document for the
weekly meeting. Have work done 1-2 days prior to being due and turn in on time.
c. Be willing to answer questions to help each other and respond to all emails.

4. Conflict Management. Not all conflict is bad as your team goes through Tuckman’s
Stages of team formation, but not having a way to navigate it is always bad. In this
section, present the steps the team will use when managing conflict. If you have taken
OGL 365-The Aikido Way you may have a jump start. If not, do some research and
determine how your team will work through conflict. The first step is not “contact the
professor” ; it can be one of your last steps for mediation according to this document. I
am always here to support the team and its success, and as leaders you need to be able
to speak to conflict per the steps provided first.
a) Create a space where we all feel safe and comfortable discussing concerns.
b) Everyone should be open minded to hear all opinions and perspectives.
c) When there is disagreement we will have a clearing conversation in the format of
a meeting to discuss concerns. After the conversation, we must come to an
agreement with the majority of those presently participating (depending on the
situation).
■ This may take the form of a vote.
■ If necessary, a calendly meeting can be scheduled with the professor.

5. Consequence(s) of Non-Participation. This is another tough one because no one wants

to think their team members are going to flake on them. Again, the answer is not “go to
the professor and let him decide.” When you are in a partnership you need to set these
parameters and other working relationship guidelines, and this is a good way to
practice. The team will notify the professor of any activation of these guidelines when
posting the assignment with an assignment comment on a module-by-module basis. If
mediation is needed, please send a team email via Canvas Inbox including the professor.
The team needs a minimum of 2, but more may set everyone up for better success. If the
team is struggling, then let’s meet and discuss it early on in the process.

Here are some thoughts to get you started, then list out your minimum 2 consequences.

Idea 1: If someone does not come to a meeting or post their work, without communicating
ahead of time, they will earn X fewer points or X percent less than the rest of the team on the
module assignment.
Idea 2: Establish the type of grade each person wants to earn in the beginning, and if
someone only wants to earn a C, then work it out that is what they will earn.
Idea 3: Team Member J is going above and beyond, they deserve a bonus of X.
Idea 4: Team Member L does not want to participate in meetings with the team, send an
email inviting them and then enforce the consequences provided in this document.

1. When a team member does not participate in an assignment they do not get
credit/points, unless they discussed it with the team prior and we have come to an
agreement. Team members submitting assignments will add comments notifying
instructors of team members that are not present.

Spring 2023 3
 2. If a team member is not present to two (2) meetings without communication
notifying the team of their absence the team members will move forward by
bringing the issue to the instructor for mediation and resolution via scheduled
calendly meeting.

3. We would directly communicate with team members if they have missed one (1)
meeting as a courtesy.

4. We would allow 5 extra credit points for attending all meetings and sharing
responsibilities. To be approved by Dr. B.

Team Project Plan: Complete the following project planning table. This table makes the
team look at the Team Project Assignments in Modules 2-6 to first understand the
scope of the project, so the team picks the best organization to study, and second, so the
team can set up detailed expectations ahead of time of who will be doing what. As the
team goes through the projects, team members may find someone has a strength which
may change the project planning document, that is okay, if everyone agrees to it. Be
careful to pay attention to the provided table headers as they will guide you on your
planning. Be specific and do not just copy and paste the directions, say it in your own
words, while being specific with what each person will do for each module.
