What did you personally accomplish on your team project this week.
I managed to lightly edit Connor's research surveys and throw a few target audience assignments together, but not much else. It's been a hell of a week and our group is hopeful that our research can take off into something substantial. To be honest, had I been more efficient in reviewing Connor's surveys and getting back to him, we might have made more progress this week than we actually did. Because my editing is the lynch pin between stages of our assignments, I have to assume responsibility for any inefficiency suffered this week.
What are you planning to accomplish next week?
Next week we're circulating surveys and emails to gather data; we're undertaking one of the largest research drives I've ever participated in since first arriving to Westminster. I hope to jump-start our project by reviewing and re-submitting the surveys this evening, and we should be ready to pass them out to our target audiences on Monday. I hope to accomplish better efficiency, and to lead our research efforts to a successful conclusion by Wednesday of next week.
What challenges are you facing individually and as a team?
The challenges I've faced this week have been individual. I had exams and projects due in every other class, putting me in the same situation that Jessica was in two weeks ago, and consequently, I've been slacking off this week more than should have been allowed. I accept responsibility for my mistakes, but I'm going to ensure that we're ready for the research stage of our project by next week. As for our group, Jessica and Michael have suddenly taken up much more work, confirming my suspicion that any perceived slacking on their part was merely consequential. This doesn't mean I'm closed off to talking amongst my teammates about how we could be doing things better.
How can I help?
I think the problems I'm facing this week are largely personal and schedule-based, though I will gladly accept any advice from you, on time management or other things. The team seems to be performing very well; I just need to step up the efforts that are worthy of their labors. As a manager, if you have any information or advice related to keeping a team and oneself simultaneously organized, I would welcome it.
