Decision Making

This class showed how hard it was for managers to make decisions among many people. Everyone must be on the same page and all of the support must demonstrate the same idea. The key ingredient for this decision making process was to have a good leader and this was demonstrated through Richard. He provided his leadership skills and asserted himself to make everyone agree on the issues. Each person's views had to be respected and taken into consideration because ultimately everyone had to agree and be on the same page in order for us to accomplish our goal. We had many different ideas written on the board and then we had a vote on what things we shoud keep.
We used two main ways of the decision making process - Compromise and Collaborating. Many of us compromised on certain issues such as extra credit. Some of us though 25 was too much and others thought 5 was too little. So we agreed on 10 points even though ultimately it was lowered down to 7. Collaborating was a big method that we had to use. We had multiple ideas coming from different people and all shared the same goal. We worked together to achieve that goal and were successful. I beleive we should have been broken down to groups and each group propose their plan. That would make things less chaotic and it would be more organized. This would save time and we would all agree much quicker.

Eggs-Cellent

Eggs-cellent was a very fun activity that I'm sure we all enjoyed. As much fun as we had, it also taught us how to work as a team and think as a group with everyone sharing the same goal. Our team worked very well together and the results showed it. The steps we used from the planning process were steps 1, 4 , and 5. We all threw out many different ideas and quickly agreed on one plan. We knew we didn't have much time so we worked together and started practicing our planned procedure. We were very organized and ready to go as each member contributed their efforts for the group and we were successful. I beleive our team was well prepared and very effective on our approach as we proved to be succesful. Our performance was excellent but one thing we could have done better was to explore more ideas, other than that we did a great job.
