Assignment 1: Team Analysis

The vision of this project is for the Grand Canyon University MGT-605 CLC Team Untied for Success to work effectively and collaboratively on an assigned project. The project involves team members writing their own “Virtual Group Charter” then collaborating and combining the best parts of an assignment to be turned in the name of the team. Shared goals and shared understanding are required for success (Berry 2011). We, the members of the purple team, also known as Team United for Success, after consultation, agree to the following charter and are resolved to make a commitment to adhere to the rules, responsibilities and uphold the values of the charter stated below:

Team 56, also known as R.O.B.B.E. (Robotics of Bound Brook and Ethicon), is the Robotics team of Bound Brook High School that was founded in 1997. The team currently consists of seven sub-teams that are designated to work on different tasks to complete during the season. We aim to create a positive impact among members of our community and hope to collaborate with other figures of authority in order to have that effect.

2) A strength in my project was that I tried to always be available and on time when asked to help out. I also helped set up our stand and take it down. A weakness is that the start of my senior year I wasn’t always available. I would say I was just so I could feel good and at the last minute say I wasn’t.

Football, unlike any sport that I have been a part of can define someone inside the classroom and within the gridiron. Character translates between the two and is something that I was always fascinated about. Someone that can show teamwork on the field are often able to show the same level of compassion and dedication in the classroom.

My strengths that I feel I brought to the group are ideas and empathy. I am able to give creative and innovative ideas. I have a passion for educating patients about their health and helping them prevent chronic diseases. I am able to bring that excitement and ambition to a particular project. I also feel I am empathetic towards patient in that I patiently listen to them vent or explain their problem. This definitely was need for our various community

My biggest strengths are my experimental technique and my accountability. I make sure I consistently provide on time and reliable data. Even during hurricane Harvey time I came back to work much earlier to finish the major experiment. I love and enjoyed working with everyone around me and helping my group continue their experiments anytime to ensure the project

This document contains information on the device constructed for Team Project 2. The task was to design, fabricate, and test a device that transports a set of identical balls from one container to another of equal size and shape, for a total of three containers. In addition, a clear audible sound needs to generate right before the balls transported into the next container with a time interval of 5 seconds in between. Constraints include a maximum diagonal dimension of 24 inches and a weight not to exceed 5 pounds. The figure of merit with our quantities is provided in table 1.

As a Leader, it’s imperative to have the skills to develop “excellent working relationships” among their teams (Graen, 2009 p.53). In building the Google HR three thirds team who will now be working closely together as one team. They will need time and training to become cohesive unified HR team. Leadership will need to help the team develop through training on trust, cohesiveness, and authority of the teams (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2013).

After the first three games of the season, Brooklyn Nets and Lin fans alike are optimistic. Pundits and “experts” have claimed the Nets will be a “dreadful” team this season. But with a win against a likely playoff team, a close comeback to an Eastern Conference Finals contender, and a loss to a buzzer beating tip-in without their starting center on a back-to-back, it seems that the Nets are onto something. Maybe they aren’t as bad as these so-called “experts” paint them to be.

I personally think I took on the roles of co-ordinator, team leader, monitor-evaluator and completer (Hartly, 2010 p.6), for example, I was the first to comment on the wiki and continue with the groups week to week activities to keep the group moving forward. I also kept the wiki up to date, while also making sure everyone was on task with the assessment. Even though it was a long drawn out process, I tried to get everyone collaborating on the group wiki provided and also took the lead to keep in contact with our eLA about the progress of a team, due to complications with team members not showing or disappearing through the

An ongoing evaluation of meetings and their effectiveness is required for sustaining a healthy team group (Geimera et al., 2015). The mission was to inject a positive meeting change in effort to improve the effectiveness of meetings using techniques and strategies learned in our MGT 345 course. The targeted group for the intervention was a group which meets on a monthly basis, a group of similarly functioning roles however, within different organizations. The group has met several times so there was a decent understanding of the group meetings and an established comfort level with the members. The group is a bit of a users’ group in nature, members have some overlapping challenges and common interests. This group fit many of the factors for a suitable group to apply some potential intervention strategies to our meetings.

What I can bring to the team is my ability to observe and react in an appropriate manner. When the team is struggling for people to pitch in and help I can follow the lead and jump in where there is a void to help hold us all together; or I can go straight to the top and take the lead when and if the situation is appropriate. I think this is a valuable asset that I bring to the team not only in times of crisis, but also as a person who will rally the team to persevere during times when the regular routine makes everyone complacent. Bringing us all together for the common purpose is what I define as team, and is what I will strive to

My role in this project is a team worker. I provide support in the different tasks that are needed, and I make sure that people within the team are working together efficiently.

“The goal setting competency includes being visible, setting clear goals and providing guidance to members in all locations” (Ziek & Smulowitz, 2014, pg.107-108). Furthermore, the teams should feel that they have the appropriate people participating in their mission. Moreover, the teams should feel that its members have the knowledge, skill, and capability to address the issues for which the team was formed. Additionally, if the teams do not have the understanding, then they would not be able to access to the help it needs. Therefore, the teams should feel they have the resources, strategies, and support needed to accomplish its

“Unlike PCI DSS, HIPAA itself does not descend to the level of security controls and technologies to implement.  This requires the organizations affected by HIPAA—also known as “covered entities”—to try to follow the spirit of the regulation as opposed to its letter” (Chuvakin  & Schmidt, 2013).  The iTrust database contains protected health information and therefore identifies as a covered entity and must establish safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic data.  Compliance with HIPAA security standards in the areas of administrative safeguards, physical safeguards, stored data safeguards, and technical security mechanisms are required for an entity to achieve HIPAA compliance.
