Introduction

Our Group was Group A. My group members were, Catherine Messer, Kimberley Spence, Lisa Jones, and myself. We were instructed to come up with a training program that addressed Communication for Sales Clerks at Kohl's Department Store. We all had different roles to play in this group project. My role was to research and come up with the outcomes of the training program. The purpose of this group project, was to create a training program, using the KSA of the audience, learning your audience, and the outcomes that the employees will learn and apply into their work environment.

Group Evaluation

I was pretty effective in carrying out my role in being a researcher and providing the outcomes of the training. There were a few obstacles that I encountered, while trying to submit my portion before deadline. I had to go out of town on business at the last minute, and didn’t have access to the internet. I was requested to have my portion in by a certain day, but I ended up turning it in the day after the team leader requested. I felt pretty awful that I didn’t hold my end of the bargain. I think if I managed my time a little better, I could have been prepared for an obstacles that may have come my way. I thought I could have followed up with the team lead, to let her know of my challenges. The team pulled together, and prepared for the worst case scenario, in which was possibly having to produce my portion of the project. At the end of the day, us as group was able to pull off this assignment without a hitch.

I think one of the challenges we faced was figuring out exactly what we were supposed to do. Some of the members thought that the survey was the whole assignment, while others actually saw that the survey was only a portion of the project. I was going to respond to the message board, correcting the individuals, and letting them know that, that is not the whole project, but one of the other group members beat me to the punch. Once we all were on the same page, we all know exactly how to break down the duties, and knew exactly what was expected from the each of us.
