1REFLECTIONReflection through learning is one of the most important approaches which a student canundertake to develop skills and enhance knowledge in his field of expertise. Reflective practicehelps an individual to dissect different his own experiences into a number of aspects andevaluative the positive and negative outcomes associated with it. Gaining knowledge fromexperiences helps in growth of the individual in the fields of the external abilities as well as theinternal traits as a human being (Roseman and vom Brocke 2015). It mainly helps the students todevelop a habit of liking linking their knowledge with the experiences and thereby constructingthe meaning form their own experiences. In the field of business and commerce, reflectivepractice has been found to be helpful in providing the brain with an opportunity to take a breakamidst the different chaotic situations that occur while maintaining teamwork. It also helps indeveloping ethical relationship with team members and also with consumers. It also helps tountangle different adverse events and thereby sort through observation and experiences (Jonesand Reckers 2014). In the intense competitive world of business, considering the multiplepossible interpretations in effective teamwork, creating the correct meaning out of it andapplying newly enhanced skill in similar future situations help to get success in work. Foreffective leadership, this learning from ‘meaning making’ helps in ongoing growth anddevelopment and thereby helps in reaching the peak of success.

Later I got emotional about the situation and was feeling guilty about it.However, the incident resulted in development of negative feelings in team members whichaffected relationship building. Besides, I also have inefficient communication skills whichincluded my inpatient listening skills and also my feedback giving and receiving skills. One day,when my team members were describing how things can be modified for better outcomes to me,I cut them down stating that I already knew them. This act of cutting them in between made themfeel humiliated which affected their feelings for me. Moreover I am also introvert and do nothave proper social skills with empathy, conflict management skill, relationship building andothers which resulted in improper work output as a team. I was thinking of my own benefitsrather than the team’s benefits.The next stage is called the feelings stage. In this stage, an individual needs to open upabout the feelings he had when the events took place. After the experiences, I noticed that all myteam members were trying to avoid any communication with me. I felt they were beingapprehensive about how would I behave as they were not sure about how I would react.
