Team Building # 2

Your team building assignment is to add a Shark Tank Member to your team. Your job is to evaluate the cast and most specifically to recruit the chosen member to help you in your industry. You need to take a business marketing product or business marketing position. You may also take the position that your group would be better members of the cast since they seem to concentrate more on consumer marketing and there are numerous B2B starts that could use their expertise. In this case identify the weak link in the Shark Tank Cast to be replaced (remember to give your justification)

Group (team) Members:
1. Lauren Grubb

Choice and Justification Although Shark Tank has many experienced and expert cast members, if I had to choose one to add to my team, I would choose Mark Cuban. With Mark’s expertise and experience he would get our team going in the right direction and help us to stay motivated. In my opinion, he is the most successful investor on the show. With many years of expertise in investments, his advice and guidance would be perfect for our team to generate profits and help advertise our products. He has many connections and clients in our industry that would be very beneficial to our team also. I feel that Mark Cuban is more than just someone handing over a check, he is a mentor and role model to his clients. Our team needs someone that is willing to work with us around the clock, year-long and Mark is the perfect example of this type of person. Although there are other cast members such as Lori and Barbra, I do not

    You have to excuse me for sounding naive but I had no idea who Mark Cuban was! After reading about him, I’m not sure I like him. I find his behavior ridiculous and childish from the outside looking in. Only when I began to read about his business savvy did I find Mr. Cuban tolerable. I find that he is a fan/owner but still an owner and he must be a hard worker because you don’t just fall into a position of that caliber. I think he poses a very driven and determined personality and Mark was quoted on Forbes.com as saying the key personality trait that lead to his success is “I worked hard and smarter than most people in the business I have been in”. To me this sound arrogant but it works for him! Therefore, because Mark Cuban believes in himself he can act out as a eccentric fan because he doesn’t seem to mind the money or the respect it costs him.…
