Team dynamics and collaboration- is a competency that builds on each other. Understanding your teams behaviors, strengths, weakness, personality's are all important and collaboration is not possible without knowing your team mates.Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes team collaboration to be successful.
Artifact The following document is a letter laying out my proposal to upper management to help foster youth at the San Pasqual Youth Academy learn new skills through store manager led workshops, and interviews. Through team collaboration each of my peers chose a different topic to teach which included, Introduction to coffee, Beverage creation with my peers we were able to successfully lead San Pasqual's foster youth through 6 weeks of workshops. The plan was approved by my organizations regional director and District manager. As a District we were able to help 15 foster youth obtain positions at Starbucks.
Reflection: The team dynamics and collaboration that our district had is highlighted by the success of this project. We all took a piece of this workshop and were able to impact the lives of many foster youth. From the Regional director and District manager to the store retail managers we all took on a piece of it and created a plan that taught youth life, and professional skills that will hopefully help them throughout their life.
