How fast time flies! The remaining Case Studies have been completed and a sense of accomplishment is felt.  My team worked well, averaging 3 active participants for each task.  Ensuring depth of analysis and adherence to deadlines were achieved. It definitely could not have been possible without collaboration and team spirit. Through a distributed leadership style on taking turns to lead the discussion and setting deadlines, all team members worked diligently. “High levels of trust, transparency and mutual respect” (Harris, 2014) were displayed and led to completion of the tasks.

The Case Study scenarios and focus issues were highly relevant to actual workplace challenges. The group work was a great learning opportunity at showcasing how different  approaches to issues were brought to light, time given for analysis and reaching a consensus. Tenets of servant leadership in continually using words of appreciation, support and acknowledgement was perceived in my group’s online interactions. Predominantly, all my group members maintained “positive optimism” (Conyers & Wilson, 2020) throughout its course, were sincere in our effort  and thus, were able to get the work done well.
