Today is 'The day'

Time for a last minute rehearsal!

This is where we finished last minute slides, and ensured that what was being said, met the objectives of the brief. As a PR agency, it was essential that we followed CIPR regulations. CIPR regulations, state PR practitioners must “maintain the highest standards of professional endeavour and personal conduct” CIPR code of conduct (2011)

Particular group members shone when delivering the pitch. Understanding that not everyone felt as comfortable to pitch, hints and techniques were passed along to help others when presenting.

Within a group it’s not about yourself, it’s about the team and how you can pass on your strengths to help someone overcome a weakness. Our team worked well together showing a good sense of teamwork and moral. Belbin (1981) states “The constitution of the group itself is an important variable in its success” highlighting the importance of group activity, and how we should work together to ensure success.

When working within a team, the leader/s have specific expectations, which they need to live up to. I believe I am correct in saying that most people would like direction, motivation, advice, criticism and democratic leadership style from their leader/s.

The three factors that a successful team must obtain are: integrity, competence and confidentiality. Team members must also be good at communicating and should have outstanding time organisation skills. This is to ensure that they are chosen again by their clients, reflecting and ensuring that they gain an outstanding reputation.
