B2. Implementation Summary and Reflection
Project implementation is a crucial stage in the project cycle. Project implementation is
the process of turning the plans and visions or a project into reality. Project implementation
could be viewed as the most critical stage in the life cycle of a project. Apart from turning the
visions of a project into reality, project implementation may help in the identification of new
challenges and issues that might not have been anticipated by the project team. Therefore, this
may result in refined processes, products or strategies (Burston, 2015). The implementation of
my timeline provided me with a worthwhile experience. In other words, I can conclude that the
implementation process was successful beyond expectations. First of all, the implementation of
my timeline was characterized the setting of clear and manageable expectations. The fact that I
had ensured that the timeline’s expectations were clear and manageable played a role in ensuring
the implementation was successful. I consider the implementation to have been successful
mainly because the expected outcome was realized at the end. Initial preparation and
consideration of implementation deliverables made the implementation process easy and
rewarding.
B3. Summary and Reflection: Summary and Reflection
Positive emotion may be considered as a feeling without negativity. On the same note,
positive emotions may include love, inspiration, amusement, pride, hope, interest, gratitude, or
joy. Generally, people find it pleasurable to experience positive emotions. Positive emotions in
the workplace may come with multiple benefits to employees. These may include better
engagement, reduced rates of absenteeism, increased efficiency and improved brain functioning.
Positive emotions topic has left me with vital takeaways that will be quite useful in my future
managerial role (Todorova, Bear, and Weingart, 2014). First, as a manager, I will be required to

maintain a highly productive and committed that can deal with any obstacles to meet
organizational targets. Therefore, I have learnt that by sustaining positive emotions among my
subordinates, I will not only keep their productivity at optimum levels but also make it possible
for them to remain committed to organizational goals.
Secondly, the success of a managerial role depends on the ability of a lead to have a solid
following. A display of positive emotions is, therefore essential for a leader who wants to have
followership. Leadership without a following would be failed leadership. Positive emotions will
thus help me to attract and win the loyalty of the people that I will be leading. This will be key to
enhancing my success as a manager. Additionally, I have also learnt about the negative impact of
negative emotions on the manager. Generally, employees want to follow positive leaders
primarily because of their proactive nature and their ability to encourage and mentor them.
Therefore, positive emotions will help me to win the loyalty of my subordinates without
imposing myself on them or having to pressure them.
Additionally, positive emotions are a vital ingredient of workplace productivity.
Generally, every manager wants to lead an organization that is highly productive (Eikenberry,
2011). I have therefore leant that positive emotions would ideally help me to create and maintain
productivity in my future organization. In this regard, providing an environment characterized by
positive emotions will provide a platform for me as the managers and my subordinates to be
creative and more engaged. An environment founded on positive emotions will, therefore, make
it possible for me and my team to be more productive. This will, however, have to start with.
Generally, in the workplace environment positive or negative emotions are largely contagious.
This means that positivity on my side as the manager will lead to positivity on my team
members. Success for me as a manager will, therefore, depend on my ability to display
