Australian Engineering Practice 2Learning OutcomesLearning Outcome 6Lead or Participate Collaboratively in TeamsTeam collaboration is when several people in a workplace working as a group work together and share ideas with the aim of accomplishing a common goal. Members of a collaborative team will, therefore, spend their time discussing their expectations as a team and set individual goals to achieve their objective. Collaboration offers each member of a team an equal chance of contributing towards the team’s vision (Bennett, Gadlin and Levine-Finley, 2010). The ability of employees in any business setting to work together as a team is one of the main contributing factors to the success of the organization. Through team collaboration, I have been able to realize that accomplishing tasks can be more effective and fast as compared to working as an individual. Additionally, Team collaboration enhances a sense of responsibility among the team members as every worker is well aware of what is required of them. This is even more important if the team is working virtually (Boughzala, De Vreede and Limayem, 2012, p. 714). According to Parker (2011), it is also important to note that having a shared goal, which is normally the case in team collaboration, can inspire the members of the team with a strong sense of purpose. This is due to the fact that the shared goal gives them a significant reason for working together in addition to mutually benefiting from one another for their own individual good and for the good of the company. I have also realized that participating collaboratively in a team promotes self-analysis. Every member of the team is challenged to think, articulate and receive the necessary clarity

Additionally, many people with different sets of skills come together creating a vast pool of talents that is competent and experienced thus making problem-solving an easy task. Furthermore, the team members are able to continuously learn from one another thus creating an organization that encourages a culture of learning (Ponte et al.,2011, p .159). They are even encouraged to grow beyond their comfort zones thus working tirelessly to take the business to greater heights. As a team leader, I notice that I have to possess some competencies to ensure that I can build a high performing team. There are three crucial competencies that I have to possess. Firstly, I must have the ability to promote understanding. The team must be able to understand why they need to work as a group towards achieving a shared goal (Ponte et al., 2011, p.159). The members must also be able to understand the value each one of them adds to the team to enhance the success of the team. Secondly, I have to ensure that the team is adequately knowledgeable regarding the task at hand. I, therefore, need to provide any information relevant to the set goals to the members of the team. Finally, I have to facilitate an effective interaction. This will ensure that problems are solved efficiently, decisions are made in the right manner, andthere will also be a coordination of efforts (Bennett et al., 2010). It is therefore important to foster a spirit of collaboration among the members of a team to ensure that the team achieves its vision.Learning Outcome 7Demonstrate critical self-review, self-management and life-long learning
