I have learnt many new things from this module and acquired
necessary skills for the workplace. The Team-based Project Proposal alone has provided
me important ‘takeaways’ for the workplace. I aim to firmly hold on to the
positive ‘takeaways’ and, of course, lose the negative ones.
An aspect which I believe our team was really good at was
the support and understanding that we had for each other. This is the most
important ‘value’, in my opinion, required at workplace. From the course I have
learnt the importance of being empathetic in everyday conversations and how it
can permanently affect relationships at workplace. Because all our team members
were from different faculties, our timetables and exam periods were different
and so was the ‘stress period’. But every team member constantly encouraged the
one who was going through his/her stressful time. This is an essential lesson
for workplace as we spend significant time with our colleagues and healthy
relationships demand understanding and support from both sides.
However, what our team lacked was a clear plan in the
initial stages itself. Everything seems to fall out of place without a well
thought and realistic plan. We should have, or at least I should have, planned
ahead for future commitments and avoid unnecessary stress during the most
critical time of the semester. Another issue is following that plan. Even if we
have the most efficient plan for our projects it will not run smoothly, the way
we want it to, if we do not stick to it. These will be few lessons but
important lessons that I will be leaving with from this project proposal.
Lessons learnt here will definitely be useful in the workplace as similar
situations and projects are there as well. I intend to learn from my mistakes
in this module and be better equipped for my work life or even future projects
in the university.
