LO 5Five year ago, I was handed a lead responsibility to lead a team in a construction site. I had to organize the qualities of different teams and ensure that they complete their tasks within the specified time to ensure the preceding team does its part well and on time. While working I notice that one of the team was taking long to complete its task and that meant that the preceding team won’t be able to accomplish its task and the project will be have to delay (Loon 2017). The delays in this team were resulting from disputes in the team members on what needed to be done. The major problem that the team members in this section experienced is that they did not understanding what the specific tasks which were required to be done in order to accomplish. Thesupervisor in that section did not also understanding the specific parts of the tasks and was shy to ask for assistance. Ensuring that the team members were able to collaborate well and deliver to the allocated tasks is one of the key aspects of proper project delivery (Loon 2007). Being the leader for the teams, I had to ensure that the specific team members collaborated and helped each other to deliver to their tasks. In this project, the lack of cooperation of the members would lead to underperformance of the whole project. This is because the previous team won’t be able to work unless the preceding one accomplishes its tasks. Being the team leader, I felt greatly responsible for the team when they failed to deliver tothe mandate. In this section, I had to make sure that each time was aware on the way to deliver to their mandate and using the least time possible. In this position, I had the responsibility of ensuring that the tasks are completed within the given timeline. In addition, I had to make sure that the teams collaborated well and enhanced their communications to deliver (CIDB 2010). In another previous position, I had experienced the same situation and therefore I had to take the matter and solve the issue and ensure that the work progress continued as planned. Lack of cooperation due to different ideas is a key problem which is able to lame projects (Loon 2017). Before allocating duties to the different members, I was supposed to check their competence to deliver and accomplish the tasks. Therefore this was part of my blame. Therefore in this part of

the task, I was required to ensure that the team collaborate well and able to deliver the tasks required. Although this part of team had different views, this is acceptable but collaboration is important to ensure that the teams has one direct way of accomplishing tasks (Kenley 2012). Therefore I need to enhance my management and evaluation tasks when allocating duties. Proper allocation of duties to the right members is important to ensure tasks are accomplished using appropriate ways and spending shortest time possible. I need therefore to enhance my analysis of the allocation of the duties which will enhance my management of team members. This skill will ensure that I pick the right team leaders who can take lead and ensure duties are accomplished as required (Sexton and Senaratne 2011). In addition, I need to enhance my analytical skills. This will ensure that I am able to recognize the weaknesses of the team members early enough. This skill will ensure that I am able to resolve the problem early and enhance keeping projects up to schedule. From this experience, I was able to learn that coordinating skills are important for the engineers to properly manage the teams. The coordinating skills ensure that the engineers understand the weaknesses of the team members and resolve the problems early enough. In addition, I was able to understand the communication skills are important. The members in this team were unable to reach an agreement on the proper method to execute the duties due to communication differences (Kennerley, Kirk, Westbrook & Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre 2017). The communication among the team members is crucial to ensure that they deliver the tasks within the scheduled timeline (Daim et al. 2012). Most importantly, I learnt that leading the team requires collaboration which was lacking on this team. The supervisors needed to collaborate with other professionals and ensure he gets the required guidance. This is an important skill which is required for practising engineers. LO 6Being involved in self reflection after accomplishing tasks is a key process to learn and rectify the challenges and mistakes done before. During a project implementation three years ago,
