“The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work.”

Class Reflection
Project and Team Management was a very interesting and challenging class. For our Leadership portfolio we had to create a professional project proposal to present to a business company (The teacher) for a fundraising event. Then at the end of the month, the teacher will choose a proposal in which will win the deal. For this project, I got to work with fellow students Elliott Harris, Keith Griffin, Rashod Holmes and Blake Farmer. In creating this proposal we had to choose a leader and we chose Keith who did a great job. We also named our company group the “25th Hour Event Planning.”
In working with the group we faced several challenges because of the fact that we were working from different part of the states. In addition to that we all lived in different time zones. However, with Keith’s leadership and in working together as a team and committing to the project, we were able to succeed. And in the end our project ended up being chosen as the winner.
From taking this class, I learned a lot of things about project and team management. In this class we were taught essential skills in order to become effective project and team managers. One of the things that I learned from this class is the importance of communication because of the fact that it played a key role creating our project. Without proper communication, we couldn’t have scheduled meetings and put the project together. In addition to that, another important lesson I learned is the importance of planning and strategizing. The reason being is without any proper plan and strategy, your business will get nowhere and goals are not going to be made. Last but not least, the most important lesson I learn is the importance of working together as a group. In working together, it made the project much easier to do and simpler.
