SELF REFLECTION

According to Zepeda, (2013) while working in an effective team in order to prepare a presentation it is a must for all team members to know about each other's talent so as to resolve issues that are being faced by the group. In order to develop an eye-catching presentation right on time it is a must for the squad to know about both each other's weaknesses and strengths and assign tasks so that to attain goals and objectives in effective manner. We have chosen Pleasure Paradise Hotel in order to prepare the presentation because it is very famous for its luxury all over the world. Along with this, the theory which has been taken under in use by me and by my squad i.e. Maslow's need hierarchical theory.

Me and my teammates have covered various factors like strategic plan, USP & service package, and their competitive advantages which may aid this hotel in making heavy profit margins.

What went well

The presentation is based on Pleasure Paradise Hotel and this company was chosen for this report because it is very famous all over the world as they value their clients and guests. Information about this hotel was easy to grab from different search engines and relevant data was wide in range as well. I and team mates have gathered details like financial reports, the strategic plan of the hotel and so much other information in order to make this presentation even more authenticated. Being a part of a team, I have observed that it is fun to work because suggestions are being taken and given as well at the same time while performing the tasks that are being given by superiors. Along with this, I have assumed that conflicts may arise through which the process of developing the presentation may take time. Communication among me and my teammates has brought up a good bond which then helped in completing the Presentation right on time.

Suggestions that have been given by team members may have an impact in both manners negative or positive Sometimes while preparing the presentation my teammates started arguing about pictures that were downloaded from the internet that had more relevance to the aim that we had so that to make our presentation easy to understand. Apart from this, I also got confused, and was time time-consuming process because less relevant data was coming in front of my eyes. I had to go through various social and business sites that are related to Pleasure Paradise Hotel so that I to pull out information as much as I could grab. But in order to motivate my team members so that targets can be attained right on time, I have taken under in use of Maslow's need hierarchical theory so that goals and objectives can get attained right on time.

It was really very easy for me to bring out the aims, vision, mission, and values of this hotel but there were an ample number of problems that were being faced by me while pulling out details like profit and loss statements and others. As this Hotel is based on erotic emotions, therefore, many sites were there that I explored helped me find details about competitors of this edifice. I also examined that data was also being brought same by me and my teammates which made us less effective. Facebook, YouTube, and Google are some of the social sites and search engines through which I got the details of Pleasure Paradise Hotel.

Less pleasant situations while developing the presentation in a team

According to the feedback that was given audience conflicts can be faced by team members when their points of view do not match. I went through the same situation as me my team members had our own perceptions which impacted both working style and time as well. Alongside this, confusion among me and wasted a lot of time which affected funds as well which was planned and was being raised. Alongside this, it is a must for me to look into various aspects so that I can attain goals and objectives of my own which were set by me. Duplication of work between teammates develops stress which may us less effective. This scenario has increased the time of completing the presentation. My own weakness is that I am a bit shy which adversely impacts my working style. Maslow's need hierarchical theory has been taken under use where the development of this presentation is being done right on time. I am less talkative and do not talk much to strangers. Therefore, pulling according to information through primary data wasted my time and money as well. The reason that I see that made me and my team members less effective while delivering and completing the financial plan was our own issues that we had.

Personal strengths and weaknesses

Learning is much needed for every single person and this is a continuous process as an individual learns on a regular basis in different aspects and situations as well. Along with this, it has been shown that I keep on motivating my teammates so that presentations can be completed right on time. While performing tasks, I ordinarily used the Two-factor theory. But it has been located that while making some actions through which performances majorly got rise up. On the other hand, I am less talkative which directly impacted my personality while delivering the presentation to my own superiors. I had fear like what if they will ask something to me related to work that I have done and some others as well.

STRENGTHS: I am a good decision taker which has helped me in taking initiatives through which presentations were being completed right on time. Alongside this, the team was being handled by me in effective ways which helped me get relevant data in a much more effective and appropriate way. I used the two-factor theory which directly impacted positively my own capabilities as well. On the other hand, my team members were also motivated in order to attain goals and objectives that were related to the performances of presentations. Away with this, my own communication skills are relevant and have helped me in delivering information to team members without any sort of conflict. Strategies are being brought up to me in order to complete the presentation. On the other hand, relevant data on this hotel has helped me in giving proper information to team members.

WEAKNESSES: There are many weaknesses I have, like my personality being very shy which will restrain me from talking to some other people. Many times, I panicked at the time of handling a team of more than 20 people. In this manner, I will not be able to lead the team in an effective and proper manner. In addition to this, sometimes I will not be able to sort out difficult situations significantly. On the other hand, taken under in use of Maslow's hierarchical theory along with two two-factor theories which made me and my team mates. That time, I got rude to my co-workers. It will hamper overall productivity either in a direct or indirect manner. Along with this, there are more weaknesses that are possessed by me, for instance impatient, insensitive, slow, moody, and lazy as well. Sometimes, allotted work will not be complete due to my shortcomings, which will cater influence to outcomes. I also get bored because of the repetition of work. Additionally, I do not have a proper understanding of motivation theories; hence, I am not able to inspire my team members regarding work. But, if we go in deep it has been located that somehow I was having a positive impact on the behavior of team members.

Feedback that is being received from seniors

The feedback that was given by the audience was very positive that me and my team members have built a good presentation. However, there were some issues and queries were there which have helped in learn for a longer period of time. When they appreciated I got motivated and would give my best if I get the same sort of task in the future. Alongside this, my strength is that I do not hamper the situation and take appropriate decisions right on time which has helped me in hitting my own targets right on time.

Fear of making mistakes plays in your daily life at work, college, or home

I have observed that facing my own fears at the workplace on a regular basis brings confidence in me. As I am a bit shy while presenting the presentation I get nervous but, following the same scenario on a regular basis it makes me stronger which directly has a positive impact on my overall performance.

Actions that I will take in the near future if I get the same task

I have analyzed that if work is being done at workplace in an appropriate manner it may be possible that I may make decisions that may aid in hitting their own targets right on time.

FINAL PRESENTATION AND CONCLUSION

The final presentation brought up good learning that was being done by me and my teammates. With the help of this, I have gained a great knowledge of the business environment that is present in the hospitality sector.
