Team Meeting

Today we had a meeting with my peer group. The group has a very interesting dynamic and the leader of the group is trying to integrate the team. It is amazing to me to see how people react in group situations. Today we were able to brainstorm a few ideas that were going to take our business to the next level. Some people were very positive and open to ideas others seemed to shoot down everything.

A point that I brought up, that we will be integrating, is to create a mentor system amongst our peers. This is to build good team unity and relationships. The team lacks a sense of loyalty to each other and is working toward making this a focus in 2007. I am really looking forward to working with my peer, she is pregnant and she will be going through some challenges in the upcoming months. This is going to be an outstanding opportunity to build a relationship with someone who is going to be going through an emotional roller coaster.

I really hope to see the team work through this process as if done correctly it can build trust amongst each other. It will be the responsibility of a few of us to create the environment that is open to new ideas and are willing to make changes to adapt to the team. For those who are not willing to adapt and learn it will be their choice if they want to be part of the team in the future.
