Classmate 1:
The coursework has provided knowledge about the internal and external dynamics of the organizational team. I have learned various approaches for controlling the impact of disparate factors on team performance. One of the crucial learnings is the concept of team leadership in a firm, which is essential for the appropriate alignment of the team members and team processes. The content of the coursework includes the concepts of disparate styles of leadership. Based on the internal processes, I have understood the need for selecting a suitable style, improving the opportunity for accurate decision-making.
The management of the team can become smooth with the association of interaction of group members, expressing individual opinions, interests, and thoughts. Managerial decision-making can become effective by valuing the suggestions proposed by various team members. I have realized that participative team management is effective, as it includes the inputs given by the employees who think from disparate dimensions.
I have acquired notable skills from the course work in the field of team management. I have improved my thinking skills concerning the flexibility of team members while playing the role of a team leader. It is crucial to ensure the flexibility of the schedule and team members while dividing or allocating tasks among the resources (Soni, 2020). Through the course, I have developed active listening skills, which are mandatory for analyzing the interests of team members while decision-making.
In my future profession, I can use listening and communicating skills to enhance the engagement of team members. I have developed problem-solving ability and communication skills, which would assist me in managing the team with optimal strategies. I can apply the new knowledge in improving the team management approaches. By analyzing the actual perspectives of the employees, I can improve the transparency of the team processes in case of inter-group or intra-group conflicts. Besides this, the course learnings have improved my knowledge concerning the impact of culture, leadership, planning, trust, and other factors on team management. I can use the same for balancing the cohesiveness and group-thinking of the team

Team management is the concept that consists of the policies and procedures to run the team and achieve the predetermined objectives of the company. A team is the collection of employees that are collected together to fulfill the objectives of the team. Decision making is a vital part of team management and also managerial decision making. Managers have to make any decision related to accounting, project decisions, and investing decisions. From the course, I have learned many things related to decision making and about the behavior of the team. The leaders and the managers are at the same role irrespective of the level of authority in making the decision. Both need to know about attracting the followers towards them and the skills that can make them efficient. They should know how to manage the diversity, management change, and cultural issues into the team members (Bang & Midelfart, 2017).
