The process of a group of people working together in order to achieve a goal is what is defined as team work (Business dictionary).

A key factor for me when completing this assignment was to really focus on my confidence and improve my leadership. Since being a student at the university I’ve often struggled speaking confidently in front of a group and also voicing my ideas that can help improve my groups work and help the team develop further. For me to successfully achieve this goal I set of being more confident and vocal, my preparation was so important. I ensured that my punctuality was immaculate in order to gain organisational skills which helped make throughout the assignment. Being prepared and having a high level of organisational skills is essential in future life when it comes to employability and meeting the main goal of getting a job.

As for the leadership side of my personal goals, working with new people wasn’t going to be easy for me being able to express my opinions and really help the others be successful in the assignment. However, my group were a pleasure to work with. We all seemed to be on the same page and we all had an incredibly high work rate, we also were able to critique each other’s work through WhatsApp and face to face communication. A leadership style we all adopted during the course of the assignment was a laissez faire leadership style. Laissez-faire leadership is a type of leadership style which allow all group members to make decisions (Kendra Cherry,2020). I feel like we all adopted this role. We all listened, we all made crucial decisions in order to make the best possible decision for the group. This is crucial for employability as employees have to be able to make crucial decisions to benefit a company is so important.

As a group I feel like the company we chose was a difficult decision to make, but significant. Cloudbeds. The company offers a range of accommodation and filters out what is appropriate for each individual guest. The main reason why I loved analysing this company so much was their drive for complete customer satisfaction, this is extremely important for an emerging company, by creating customer satisfaction, it gives the company a great brand reputation which will improve the firms brand loyalty

The software me and my colleagues used to communicate on was Google docs. This software was essential for us to keep updated on the work that was being completed and we can also track the progression of how the presentation is coming along. However, the most important part about using the software was making the groups time management and balance good. Through the software I was able to go home and complete work rather than constantly meeting the group to complete work.

To conclude, the key skills achieved during this presentation were:

  • Leadership
  • Confidence
  • Leadership
  • Motivation

All these skills can be used in everyday life, essential for employability.
