INTRODUCTION
The success of a project calls for a leader who has the ability to effectively interact
and communicate with the project team members. In this essence, learning will be an
essential tool in addition to my experience to aid me in realising a range of aspects related to
management. Good management in a team hone interaction and coordination in managing
different situations (Srivannaboon, 2009). The reflection part in this sense is learning that has
been achieved in the course of team management. The key reflection is regarding project
management with the being to sustain the project team unity for the success of the project. I
learned two lesson in the course of action. First effective communication is key while
managing a team of individuals and second good leadership skills (Kelly, 2018). The task of
managing people is tough because it entails evaluating their performance based on the
planned strategies. These lessons are significance in relation to team management since they
decline conflict due to misunderstanding for successful work delivery. These factors played a
great role in improving my learning.
