Name Gerhard Shefa Ricci Sami Strengths Document formatting: Previous experience in documentation in IEEE and APA. Organization: I use to-do lists and calendars on a regular basis. Weaknesses Communication: I’m not a strong communicator. Leadership: I have a natural ability to motivate other toward a common goal. I’m able to see the bigger picture, align team members with shared objectives, and provide the guidance needed to navigate challenges. My communication skills ensure that everyone understands their role and feels valued, which boosts morale and creates a sense of collaboration. Communication: I am a strong communicator during group work as I habitually update and check in with team members on status and feelings about the project. Commitment: I have also worked at my own pace before and usually tend to get everything done super-fast which leads to me expecting the rest of my teammates to deliver the same. Detailed plans on misconduct of a team member: Commitment: I’ve done work at my own pace in the past during group projects. Leadership: I need to continue to work on my leadership skills because I often wait until it is necessary to step up and either get the ball rolling or take a bigpicture mindset to help direct the project positively. 1. Warning before misconduct: If a team member is on track to commit misconduct, the other three members will issue them a warning in written word. 2. Internal Discipline: If a team member continues the behaviour and commits misconduct, the other three members may vote to: a. Escalate the situation to the facilitator(s) and seek advice in how to proceed. b. Vote to remove the member from the group permanently (Must be consensus and supported by the facilitator(s)). c. Vote to retain the member and discipline internally (Must be consensus) 3.
