When conducting a marketing plan that will create a solution for West Coast Transit it is important to create a highly motivated and dynamic team of employees to come together to accomplish a task swiftly and flawlessly with short notice. The current situation is for the team of selected individuals to create a plan of action to help boost revenue through the release of the new Bowing 747 and the existing West Coast Transit company mission which is to stay customer-focused and provide an opportunity for companies to fly their employees at an affordable rate as well as accommodate whole families to travel affordably. I have selected a group to work together on a West Coast Transit project that I believe will be in the best interest for the teams and company. While everyone who works with us today has their own profound talents and characteristics, I have selected a group of six which I believe bring the most to the table in a situation like this because the selected group is willing to put more work in for the good of the organization and will do more than is required. My first choice would be Natalie. Natalie is positive and ambitious and can function well in a group atmosphere, Natalie is motivated by challenges and enjoys competitive opportunities where her skills and talents can take center stage. She is great for smoothing over tense situations. She is a real negotiator and is comfortable in any kind of speaking situation which in this stressed circumstance is required.
We have spent 30 minutes of discussion and everyone adhered to his opinion. I then decided to change my preference from Suzanne to Kristin. I realized that Kristin has better leadership skills, and she might adapt quickly to the position because she worked for a peer company as a VP of Finance and has international exposure. In addition, she might bring a fresh outlook into the company. They both have superior qualifications and the differences between them are minor. Then, the group members made their decision based on the majority and selected

I would recommend making Debbie the Operations Manager for this project. She is well organized, is able to help teach how to best prioritize, as well as brings everyone together. I think she would accomplish more, because she is able to identify the problem without much difficulty and creates specific goals for each person for their daily activities. Plus she shows things in diagrams, such as a Gantt chart, to let everyone know within the group what needs to be done and what is a priority.
Summary The two members of my group that I chose to compare are Cecilia Valadez and Ashlyn Jackson. Cecilia Valadez’s major is construction management and she knows her way around a lot of computer applications. Unfortunately, when the time comes for her to work on electronics, she has a hard time so she looks it up on google. Ashlyn Jackson is currently majoring in engineering technology and is very good at doing research,

I would work with Ashley Gi, because I can tell she is very focused yet very open to the ideas and input of others. This changed from my previous answer because I got the chance to work with Ashley through the group interview. I would also work with Snipta Mallick because she shares my passion and drive to succeed, and when asked for help, she is so genuinely kind. This changed from my previous answer because the people I had initially chosen were not on the list. I don't think I would work with Ameya, because he unprofessionally bases a lot of decisions on his emotions and isn't very open-minded. This didn't change because I didn't notice a change in his attitude towards others while working. I also don't think I would work with Shalin Shah
Boeing adopts a very thorough, well planned out process to manage the project. The stages are defined clearly and tasks involved in each stage are carried out sequentially.

Another aspect to consider would be whether or not any of the potential candidates would be able to compromise on a solution or decision on what should be done in the project, and if all of the members will be able to respect Raef’s decisions.
As the project management triangle states, “do you want something done good, cheap, or fast?. Pick two!” That had been the constraints applied to many businesses until the launch of Southwest airlines in the mid 1960’s. Southwest managed to break free of the management triangle and offer safe (good), low cost (cheap), and timely (fast) air service in Texas and eventually across the United States. From the beginning, the company’s staff and management shared these goals, and developed a foundation on which to build the business. Visionary leaders Rollin King, Herb Kelleher, Colleen Barrett and other early leaders at Southwest, proved that there is no more competitive advantage than a dedicated, loyal work force. Her Kelleher’s
A Chicago-based company OrigAudio have done the unimaginable and invented the “origami of audio’ called The Fold ‘n’ Play. OrigAudio is a company that strives on their delivery of award-winning, premium quality audio products. Unlike other companies, OrigAudio innovation for music portability shines above providing an outlet for customers to customise their products to their own trends and showcase unique music personalities.
