Teamwork

I have been placed in many situations when teamwork was a focal point. Teamwork is necessary for any success. For myself and my faith, teamwork is an absolute necessity. I've exhibited excellent teamwork skills in many different settings. Such settings include college basketball, youth ministry, campus ministry, recruitment tours, trip planning, and event planning. Some teamwork qualities I exhibit are inclusiveness, communication, and listening. If I cannot be inclusive, communicate, or listen, I do not deserve to participate in a team. A specific teamwork experience I had recently was in June. We attended an event called Radius Work Camp. At this camp, we participated in community service projects as a church and another congregation. These projects were done in a span of three total workdays. We separated into multiple work groups and accomplished all of the goals we had set. I had to exhibit teamwork skills while in this setting. I had to communicate to relay information effectively. I was able to be inclusive so that every member had a responsibility. I was able and willing to listen to suggestions, schedule changes, and the needs of teammates. With all of these qualities present by me and many others, we accomplished all we had set out to do. Project management requires many of the same attributes. A Project Manager has to be willing and able to include others, communicate, and listen with intent. This enables a stable and efficient work environment, which I can provide.
