****This assignment is a reflection blog based on a group assignment that was previously accomplished. I will attach a copy of the group assignment and include specific instructions for the reflection below. Also, please review both simulation transcriipts for additional background information. The highlighted portion of the module 1 transcriipt explains the background of “Eagle Aviation”, which is a make-believe airline used for assignments throughout the course.****
Assignment Instructions:
As a member of Eagle Aviation, you were tasked with establishing team roles and setting the preliminary goals and strategies for the organization’s growth and development in the coming years. From that process, reflect on the following:
– What decision-making theories or approaches were used as the team made decisions regarding the roles of team members?
– How could that decision-making process be improved?
– What decision-making theories or approaches were used to determine the goals and strategies for Eagle Aviation?
– What worked well in that process and what could be improved?
– What human variables were present in the decision-making process?
– What would you do differently to mitigate the effects of the human variables in the decision-making process?
The reflections on the decisions are a regular product you will create in this course. Three primary questions should guide each of your reflections, in addition to the specific questions on the decision above. Consider these questions when answering the questions above.
– As I reflect on the course materials so far this semester, what new insights do I have about how I process information and make decisions?
– Do these insights indicate to me that I should make any changes in my approach to making decisions and how I would practically execute these changes?
– How do I apply what I have learned so far to my immediate and future context as a leader? In other words, how does this knowledge inform your understanding of how other people you might be working with make decisions, and as a leader how can you use this information to create a system, climate, and culture where there is constantly more healthy and productive decision making?
