Personally, I am not comfortable in a leading position as I don’t feel I have enough confidence at times. It is something i’ll definitely need to work on, possibly even within this group project. Although I’m not strong in leading, I am strong within fulfilling requirements, communicating, and assisting with decision making. I find that discussing until a consensus is reached may be the best, most efficient way. This way group members can get all their ideas out, and come up together with the best solution. Also, through past experiences, staying up-to-date or possibly even ahead of due dates/schedule allows the project to run more smoothly with minimal errors or conflicts.
My understanding of the formal research project, is that as a team we are to compose a memo addressing an overview of the research topic we’ve chosen. Currently, to my knowledge we will be conducting the research on the cost of living in Hawaii as opposed to other states. Our team has not chosen a specific state to compare with just yet, but I am sure the information will be interesting regardless. I feel the entire topic in and of itself is important to research, to gain knowledge and a better understanding of the seemingly insufficient funding residents receive when compared elsewhere. As for the best current options for follow-up research on this topic, I would say we have EBSCO and google (while verifying reliability of sites).
To help my team achieve 7’s on the pit stop form, I will (1) encourage learning and development of myself and team members. All while making good use of our different abilities, knowledge, and experiences. (2) Ensuring our goals are clear to all and we care about the goals while remaining committed. (3) Control is shared within the group, and everyone takes initiative. (4) The team comes to a consensus on decisions, and different ideas are integrated. (5) The team takes and gives feedback on what we are doing well or areas that we need to improve. (6) If conflicts come up, we openly express them and address them accordingly. (7) We will listen attentively, understand and are understood. (8) We can trust in each other, and openly express our feelings. (9) We are innovative, flexible and diverse. We encourage trying different things and experimenting.

The class does seem laid back and the pace is manageable… so far anyway. I am looking forward to becoming comfortable and confident in Business Writing this semester!
