Management 470 Team 6 Manifesto
How We Plan to Be Successful
Communication and Communication Frequency
Communication is a major key to the success of any team…virtual or not. We will do the majority of our communication through a group message on our phones. This is the easiest and quickest way for us to communicate. The majority of our communication will occur when we have an assignment due in the coming week. When we find it necessary, we will meet face to face at a TBD location. We will also meet briefly everyday after class just to check in with one another and make sure we are on track and on the same page.
Conflict and Resolution
Just like in any team, our team will deal with conflicts and disagreements on certain ideas and approaches. Our team will always be willing to listen and take into consideration every persons ideas and thoughts. If there is a complete disagreement on how to do something or who should do it then we will vote as a team to decide. Majority will win and if there is a tie then rock, paper, scissors can never go wrong.
Work Ethic and Work Load
Every member of this team brings something unique and valuable. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. With these we will try to delegate certain tasks to the member that feels as though they will prosper the most. Since we do not know each other very well it will have to be on a volunteer basis. Regarding having the same amount of work load for everyone there will have to be some accountability. We will have to hold one another accountable, but also ourselves. Everyone has been in a group where there are slackers and of course you do not want to fail so someone always has to pick up the extra slack. Many times it is because no one has the, excuse my language, “balls” to speak up and call them out. Our group will be open and honest and not be afraid to hold each other accountable.
Leadership
Our team will not be led by one sole person. Every single person has the same amount of power as the rest. Every single person has the opportunity to take lead on a project or assignment. We are all equal.
Learning
Like I said above through communication and through accountability we will ensure that all of us are learning. We will learn from our mistakes and failures and we will make sure that each and every one of us is making sure that we are. With every mistake our group makes we will discuss it in our weekly face to face meeting after class on why it happened and to ensure that it does not happen again.
