Reflective Essay 2Personal reflectionI have prepared this report as a reflective essay on my group’s business plan. I have focussed on presenting how the team related while undertaking this project with a specific address of my experience during the entire period. As part of the assignment, the tutor asked each member of the team to prepare a reflective paper on their role as a researcher, critical thinker,presenter, reporter, and analyser of the whole experience. I was part of a team of (INSERT THE NUMBER) members who undertook a business plan for elderly day care. In a team of five, we focussed on developing a business plan on launching an elderly day care business in (INSERT NAME OF THE LOCATION). Other team members were (INSERT THEIR NAMES). Although I had wished to form a team with my close friends, the tutor took upon himself to allocate members randomly. At first, I objected the tutor’s decision but felt in love with the group as time passed by. Luckily enough, one of the members was my close friend, while another one was part of my previous study group (Ekanem, 2017, p. 32). The opposition that I held initially about the group slowlyfaded away. However, our good working environment and cooperation did not come without challenges and disagreement considering that we were from different societies and backgrounds. Considering the enthusiastic and friendly nature of the team, we managed to solve all the problems amicably. As a student of business management, I understood that we were more capable to succeed as a team compared to working as an individual (Williams, et al., 2012, p. 35). We called for a meeting three days after teams had been assigned. I took upon myself to be a team leader during the first meeting. Members discussed the task at hand where members shared different ideas as well as possible problems and challenges we were likely to

Personally, I believe that it’seasier to work in a friendly and casually environment which other members opposed; other members were more reserved and wanted a strictly professional relationship. In the end, I succeeded in convincing in adopting my approach. After resolving, all the arising issues, members were given an opportunity to present their plan and thoughts about the assignment(Bolton, 2010, p. 71). After an extensive discussion, constructive arguments and careful planning, we agreed on developing a business plan for elderly day care. Our decision was based on the increasing demand for daycarecentres in the UK. We noticed that our neighbourhood hardly had a modern adult day-care centre despite the increasing demand (Consumer Dummies, 2015, p. 88). This business is also a lucrative in nature with maximum profit. However, the vital fact should not be ignored that there is lots of work pressure and the people should be adequately satisfied. Setting up or establishing the daycarecentre can lead to deal with adults that may be very old and unfit. Therefore, it is important to hire competent and skilled people. Adequate care should be provided by the skilled nurses and employees (Kalman, 2008, p. 71). The employees should be highly experienced to provide quality services to the people. The return on investment is huge enough is if the customers are provided maximum satisfaction, the people will willingly come back to the daycarecentre. We agreed that we were capable to operate and effectively manage a daycare for the elderly (Lyons, 2010, p. 51). After agreeing on the topic followed the assignment of tasks based on each member’s strengths and capabilities. We all agreed that to foster positive energy and effective work environment, the team set up ethical standards and behaviours. All members of my team wereequally motivated and committed to their roles (Ekanem, 2017, p. 89). Considering that I
