Reflection of a work of 5 people
At the time of my college journey it has been ask by me to work on a project assignment in
which I have to work in a group of 5 people and demonstrate my creativity any large scale
Organisation in creative and presentable manner. it has been identified by me that my other
teammates tend towards conducting project in descriptive and written report manner, while I
possessed in a contrasting manner as I want to do project in a PowerPoint Presentation manner in
which I can demonstrate ideas and views in form of Pie Chart, bar graphs and other creative
pictorial manner. Other team members showed reluctant behaviour as they have Undertaker
return report previously and further gained phrase from their faculties. This lead towards team
work went not good because everybody have different idea and views.
