Leading Teams at West Coast Transit
Selecting a team from the member profile to collaborate on a West Coast Transit marketing project took deep thought and consideration. Everyone brings strengths and weaknesses to the company. First, I choose Natalie. Natalie works well on a team, is positive and ambitious. She works well in tense situation which is needed for this high stress project. Natalie has strong written communication skills as well, which is an added bonus. The next person I choose was Elizabeth. She enjoys collaboration, has a positive attitude is diplomatic and open minded. She is a detailed oriented, has a good work ethic and is good at meeting deadlines. Natalie and Elizabeth both will work well together with a team. I choose Katelyn as well because she is very driven and seeks a promotion. This will be her chance to prove herself to management. Katelyn likes to lead projects and will be proactive on the team. Next on the team is Susan. She is well respected, and others seek her out for guidance. She is creative and a go getter. This project will require new ideas to drive up sales. Susan also works well with others. I also choose William to be on the team. William is an easy going team player who also doesn’t mind leading a project. He and Katelyn can co-lead the project together. William is a veteran in his area of expertise and motivated by challenging work. Working as the leader with Katelyn will be a good fit for this project. Last but not least I will choose Ian. Ian is quick and efficient. He is also smart and tech savvy. This will be needed to develop a new sales approach for the company. Ian can bring in new ideas the company has never tried before. He is a key component to this project. I believe that all of the team members chosen will work well on this project together. Everyone may not work well on a team, but there are people that
