    Introduction

    Over the last few weeks, you have learned how to start  identifying the roles and skills needed to build an effective team. You  have also discovered methods for selecting and evaluating potential  candidates. Now it is time to put your team-building techniques into  practice by participating in a case study with real employees from Joe  Gibbs Racing! This assignment gives you an opportunity to demonstrate  your knowledge of actual team building techniques and leadership  qualities. In addition, this assignment prepares you to complete your  final course assignment, A Report for Vice President’s Approval of your  team, due in Week 10.

    Scenario

    Imagine that you work at JGR. The CEO has tasked you with being  the Team Leader for a committee that will plan a one-day summer  team-building retreat. All JGR employees will be attending the event.  The purpose of the retreat is to foster unity, trust, and cohesion  between the organization’s employees. The event will start with a  welcome and introduction, and then everyone will break out into group  team-building sessions. The whole team will reconvene for a company-wide  lunch, followed by a keynote speech.

    As the Team Leader for the event planning committee, your job is to choose four other JGR employees to be on your committee.

    In the Week 7 document, read the four  role descriptions, Logistics, Budgeting, Programming, and MC/Host. For  this assignment, you will choose four team members to fill these team  roles.

    Watch the Week 7 Strayer Talk,  Building Your Team: Finding the Right Balance, which describes the 10  JGR candidates you may choose from for your Fantasy Team. Brief  information on the candidates is also provided in the Week 7 document.

    Complete a 1012 slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

    1. Describe the role of Team Leader and how you will fulfill that role.

    Explain your skills and personal strengths needed to be an effective team leader.

    Think about your personal DiSC  assessment results from JGR100. What is your DiSC work style, and how  will you select team members to complement your skills?

    What will you be responsible for as  Team Leader? What will you handle personally, and what will you delegate  to other members of your team?

    2. Select a candidate for each of the four roles described above, and justify your selections.

    Review the candidates by viewing the Week 7 Strayer talk and the document JGR Employee Profiles.

    Consider how each choice’s particular skills and personality will help them perform their role successfully.

    How do these team members’ strengths  complement yours? What skills and/or personality traits do they have  that will help your team in areas where you feel challenged?

    Explain how chosen team members complement you in more than one case.

    3. Create 1012 Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) slides for the JGR  CEO in which you present the team you have put together for the one-day  summer team-building retreat.

    Include a title slide and reference slide, in addition to the required slides (not included in the 1012 slide count).

    Include speaker notes or record audio for each slide content.

    Use specific phrases, ideas, and  quotes from the Strayer Videos, Coach’s Huddle, Weekly Readings, and/or  Discussion to explain and support your thoughts.

    Write in a professional manner using proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and SWS.
