Decision Making

Accord to the decision making activity we had on 10/15/2007, I learned something new which making decision is not as easy as I thought. In order to make a good decision, first, we have to have a good leader who knows how to manage two didferent groups , agree and disagree. Secondarly, other members beside the leader have to respect the leader and themselves. This means we need to say out ourselves ideas and listen other ideas as well. Then, the leader who make a powerful and satisfy decision which everyone in the class agree with. All the points I mentioned above were not exist in the 10/15/2007 section of the MGT 3120 class.
Personally, I did not use any method to make decision on the 10/15/2007 section of the MGT 3120 class. The reason I did not use any method because there are many classmates gave out their own ideas where we may not be able to generalize them all in a short time of class period. And the class was so mess, just like fight a cold war. Therefore, I stayed silence and paid attention to the ideas they wrote on the blackboard. But I did disagree ideas which they are not satisfy to myself. In general class participation, I think we were using the collaborating method from the decision making debrief slides. We all focused on one goal which we want to get curve and extra credits to our first exam grade. I don't think there is any other way to handle the conflict beside the three points I mention earlier. If we are not respecting anyone, we never make any good final decision in the world.

An Eggs-cellent Way to Plan

Through the eggs cellent way to plan group work, I think the first step in the planning process is the most difficult step we tried to go through. Five people in the group had five different oponions, which it was hard to make a final decision. Since we made the final decision to make a boat shape egg cell to protect our egg, all my groupmates forcus on the final decision and gave different suggestions to make better protection for our egg. I think our group did a good job which everyone in the group tried hard to achieve this goal. Everyone build single relationship, that we all trust and respect each others. We believed groumates taking care of their responsibilties to do their best for our final decision. Everyone in the group provided optional suggests. And these suggests did effect and made our final group work to be better. During the process, everyone in the group helped each other in many ways. Someones cut straws, someones cut tape, someones fold straw around the egg. I think everyone really enjoy the whole wokring process.
