Learning Outcomes
The learning outcomes of the work experience can be mentioned to be as follows:
1. It assisted me in understanding what the different roles of the leader are in the
organization.
2. It assisted me in understanding the negative culture and attitude of the various
individuals.
3. It helped to understand about the team culture and development.
What was the situation and what were the challenges?
I was leading a team at the Hull and East Yorkshire teaching hospitals and NHS trust. In
consideration of this, it becomes rather effective to state that I was involved in ensuring that the
department was being able to work accordingly. In consideration of this, I was also required to
ensure that, the negative attitudes and the various behaviours of the different employees can be
kept at check. In association with this, it is effective to mention that, the different individuals
involved in the team were not willing to cooperate with one another and in consideration with
this; it became very difficult to ensure that the team goals were being met with. The different
challenges which were faced, can be mentioned to be as follows:
1. Non-cooperation from the different members.
2. Negative culture which prevails in the enterprise.
3. Negative attitudes of the individuals.
What did I do?
In order to increase the overall operational activities and to ensure that, adequate team building
activities are undertaken in order to ensure that, initiatives can be undertaken so as to see to it
that, the team is being able to perform well. In consideration with this, the activities which I
undertook can be mentioned to be as follows:
1. I planned an outing whereby all the employees were taken out.
2. I ensured that equal participation was encouraged in consideration to all the employees.
3. I engaged in live sessions with the different employees to ensure that the communication
is clear.
4. The aim of the outing was to see to it that, the negative attitudes of the individuals was
changed and a positive culture could be fostered.
5. The team outing was a successful hit which ensured that, the different members were
able to mitigate their differences and the culture changed along with the attitude of the
individuals as well.

Impact of my actions
The impact of my actions can be stated to be as follows:
1. The attitude of the different individuals and my related employees changed to a great
extent.
2. It can be essentially mentioned that, the different employees got into a positive
association with one another.
3. Moreover, the work place culture which had become very aggressive also underwent a
considerate change and the associations become positive
What did I use from the CMDA / Theory to put into practice
I used the different concepts of the workplace culture, employee engagement, and associated
concepts relating to the management of the different organizational members to ensure that
adequate strategies could be applied accordingly to ensure overall success.
