Post 5 - Research and Proposals

Proposals are a big task to handle for one person. It's important to have a team that will work well and responsibly. It's also important to have a leader instead of a boss.

From personal experience, it's difficult to accept responsibility for a team, but well worth the risk involved. It's also remember that there is a difference between being a boss and a leader. If you're ever elected or chosen to spearhead a group proposal project, here is some advice.

-Always listen to other people's suggestions. It's important to give an ear to your fellow teammates. Listening to their suggestions allows you to look at the project in a different light. Other people can offer insight.

-Compromise is key. If two people offer great ideas, it's important to compromise. It's possible to combine ideas to make everyone happy and get a great proposal.

-It's important to delegate. Delegate, not assign everything to everyone else. Leaders always pull their weight. When everyone does their part, everyone is happy and no one feels slighted. It's tough to delegate roles, because it may feel that you, as a leader, aren't doing your share of the work.

-Thank your teammates. If anything, always thank your team after a hard day's work. Teammates aren't working the project because they want to. By thanking your team for their work, you build morale among them. It also shows you appreciate their time and energy that has been invested.
