This week, I found the memo writing assignment to be very interesting. It is very likely that this is a skill I will need to have when I begin my career. I learned how to communicate effectively and appropriately depending on the audience. I also learned how to add skim value.
I also learned about the design process. Before this class, I thought that designing just meant making a product aesthetically pleasing. In reality, it is shaping a product or service to fit the needs and desires of the customer. Through innovations and feedback, one can shape any product or service to make it better and more desirable.
Our group met for the first time to make our team agreement. The main goal that our group has is to get a high grade. It will be a great challenge and possibly a source of strain on the team. However, it will drive us to excellence. Since my Leadership Development Plan involves learning to inspire a shared vision, I will work on keeping the team dedicated and focused on this goal.
Our team agreement also includes rotating roles throughout the term. This will help us be a more effective team because we will all have a sense of empathy toward the people in the other roles. We will all have an understanding of what the other team members are trying to accomplish and that will help us function better. When I played football in high school, our coaches had us switch positions sometimes. It gave me an appreciation for the hard work that the other players put in and also gave me a better understanding of how I could improve the process when playing my normal position. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish.
