Situation
I was involved in a team that was to make a class presentation on role-play between a doctor and
a patient. The presentation was to address communication skills, effective team management,
and the influence of collaboration on successful teams.
Task
My role was to organize the team by allocating roles and ensuring collaboration among the team
members. I faced the obstacle of convincing the team members to collaborate and deliver the
task before the deadline. There was also a challenge on communication, which is a common
barrier in managing teams as discussed in Norouzinia, Aghabarari, Shiri, Karimi, and Samami
(2015). This is because I had not participated in leading teams before. I found it challenging to
organize the group members and to allocate them tasks because they felt that the group leader
was to complete the whole task.
Action
I researched, watched videos, and consulted from my friends about how to manage teams. I
talked to my team members on how to organize and make the presentation successful. I allocated
my group members their specific roles based on their interests and capabilities. I took up the role
of a transformational leader. Arendt, Pircher, Verdorfer, and Kugler, (2019) explain that
transformational leadership are equipped with communication mindful skills that enable them to
manage teams. I found this skill applicable in managing my team members, even though the
group was ad hoc. Collaboration was one of the factors that made us to score nine points, even
though I felt that this was a better performance compared to the complexity of the task. Bosch
and Mansell (2015) explain that interprofessional collaboration is the backbone of successful
service delivery in healthcare. Additionally, Busari, Moll, and Duits (2017) explain that

interprofessional collaboration enhances service delivery and reduces medical errors associated
with lack of sharing knowledge and skills. .Some members only became collaborative at the
final minute, after we had worked with others to complete the task.
Results
Our team scored nine out of a total of ten points. I was satisfied with the outcomes, even though
I felt that the score could have been allocated based on the collaboration of the group members.
Critical Reflection
Nurses play a significant role in caring for n patients and providing person-centered care
that involves working with professionals from diverse cultures and patients with diverse cultures.
During these interactions, there challenges and obstacles will arise that will affect interactions
and their career success. Some of these challenges may arise from communication barriers or
cultural diversity in workplaces. It is, therefore, essential that students taking nursing as a course
are prepared and equipped with relevant knowledge and skills that will help them navigate
potential challenges in this career. The situation I undertook of making a role play presentation
between a nurse and a patient is one of the numerous learning activities that focus on equipping
learners with practical knowledge and skills. This reflection entails my experience from the
activity and what I have learned as a potential professional in this field.
The leadership role I took in the role play exposed my strengths and limitations as a
leader. I learned that as a leader, I do not necessarily need a formal position to exercise my
leadership skills. I started by group formation and explaining to my group members what they
were supposed to do to make the presentation successful. I had anticipated that this could be an
easy task, but I ended up suffering inferiority complex because some of the people in the team
had scored good grades in exams compared to me. I lost self-confidence at some level, and could
