Explain how you successfully influenced, persuaded and negotiated with others in the course of that project (or other related activity), e.g. using your analytical skills, risk assessment, appraisal of options, etc.

        From the very start, I knew that teams failed to produce outcome because attention upon team members was weak. Their weaknesses are not prodded and they are assigned the work which is not suited for them (Boxall and Purcell 2015). Additionally, I knew that encouraging one member while venting out anger at the other disrupts the functioning of a team. Since I knew such factors, I assured that I wouldn’t do the same thing. When I was assigned to handle my team, there were many issues and along the path which I slowly dissolved while changing the views of my team members.

        The first issue was that there was individual work in my team which highly interrupted the plan that I had in mind regarding the project. Team members didn’t seem to collaborate with each other and it resisted the production of efficient values which didn’t seem to settle down with me. In order to counter this matter or issue, I not only gave examples but also fetched the weekly record of my group and illustrated it.

        Another issue that I faced while carrying out the project was the exceeding cost. In the project, I had a financial plan that I needed to implement to ensure that budget didn’t exceed the cost that was sufficient. At the time of estimation, the cost exceeded the one that was required and it became a hurdle for me to manage the budget. Although it was my responsibility to handle the project but I relied on the help of my team members and communicated the issue to overcome the hurdle. By exchanging views, it is analyzed that we found a substitute method and reduced the cost so to meet the requirement. I coped with my team members and reached a conclusion which proved to be beneficial for the project.
