Questions on Project Management Personal Experience

For this assignment to be completed is a three to four sentence response to each question. The way this assignment works is we are all given the same question two questions to answer and then we must respond to at least two of our student’s responses to the question. So I am going to post the questions, followed by the responses from two of my class mates, in which I need a 3 to 5 sentence response, written. In all you will have done 4 responses, as well as answered the two questions, the response I need written is for the a and b responses already posted.

Sometimes one or the other does not make it to open the store on time (that has happened three times in a month). One of the other team members does not like our driver, and has decided it is his job to make as many problems for him as he can dream up. Many of the incidents also involve wasting company resources. The rest of us are just trying to cope with two owners that are asleep at the wheel, and hope we can make it to the weekend. These issues come from the top, and are a side effect o f two leaders who do NOT know how to manage people in a constructive or positive way. Our project group is in the storming stage, and sadly has been in this stage for at least the last year and a half. There is nothing enjoyable about this stage, especiallyShow MoreRelatedI Am At A Critical Juncture959 Words   |  4 PagesI am at a critical juncture in my professional life.
