TEAM
MANAGE-
MENT
This group project to me was
a twice harder than others
before. I was assigned as a team
leader that meant double effort
and
triple
responsibility.
Furthermore, there were seven
of us. Each one with a strong
personality and vision what and
how is right. I did not ask this
role, but I decided to perceive
it as a personal challenge both
as a young design professional
and as a former manager.
First of all, I explained my
vision of effective teamwork
to my team-mates. Especially,
I highlighted the significance
and necessity of discipline.
All the time I heard jokes
about that, but, honestly,
a joke is better than a missed
deadline. To me, it was
important to build honest,
respectful and transparent
relationships between team
members. At the same time,
each of us must understand
teamwork evaluations
that collaboration was a core
for effective performance.
Some of us studied new work
approaches and others tried
to find out that seven people
in the team are not a sentence.
Also, the discovery of boring
writing tasks and almost daily
meetings have come to the fore.
It is not true to say that we
had a 100% smooth teamwork
processes. It is definitely true
that team was tried to perform
their best. For these three
weeks, we learned not only
some facts about security
system of Moscow metro
or the attitude for safety by
government and business. Most
importantly, we discovered the
definition of a truly effective
team, and I hope will utilize
this knowledge.
