Week 2

This week delt with a number of different things. Chapter two dealt with team building. A large potion of the chapter was dedicated to questions one might ask a candidate at an interview. I found that some of the questions were interesting, but a bit impractical for what I would really want to know from a candidate. The third chapter was about leading teams and building a team. I liked the quote by Lambardi about teamwork, "Individual commitment to a group effort is what makes a team work, a company work, and a civilization work." I really like that statement and I think it best sums up the chapter. For me as a team leader, I need to instill that desire with the rest of my team. This chapter also contained some good advice on how to handle situations to avoid conflict and how to put more ownership on the student. Hopefully I can use some of these tools in the near future. Good communication is the key to a successful team in my mind.
