passion for the work.
Team work Analysis
I had a very pleasant experience with my team mate as we were able to understand each other
and was aware of the requirements of the task assigned to us. We used to discuss every detail
mentioned in the plan and also share information. The team made us comfortable regarding of
the deadlines and requirements of the assignment and also resolved every issue that we had.
Providing feedbacks was also very useful (Totterdill, Dhondt and Boermans 2016). However,
over thinking was our problem which resulted in delays in completion of the tasks. The other
problem we had was to leave work till the last minute which made delays in the completion.
Small errors made the work problematic which is being discussed in Assessment 3. Focus and
discipline was must for me (Castanheira et al. 2016)
I did implement my tasks as a team member and the implementer personality says a lot about the
feedback that I needed to provide to the team. The ways to improve my work is to provide

8REFLECTIVE REPORT
feedbacks to the team through various elements of action plan and other task related cases. The
attendance of meeting is also there (Körner et al. 2016).
Conclusion
I had amazing experience in conduction of the assignment as I have evolved and developed
myself as a more career oriented person as it has helped me to make my goals more prominent. I
am now aware of the fact that that I am more aware of the requirements and I am nearing my
goals in the prolonged period. I have identified all my weaknesses and made the action plans
according to that. Online profile has helped me to develop the learning and also have better
engagement to more knowledge and skills. I am working more effectively and in a better way. I
am a professional worker with team spirit which has helped me to make sure about my
knowledge.
