The team set an objective to profit from operating a tuck shop event. They expanded on this objective by setting profit goals of £100, £250, and £500 along with some stretch goals. The team leader was chosen based on their previous experience leading a team. Roles and tasks were assigned by the team leader to spread the workload evenly. The author's workload included planning the layout of the event space and creating posters and a price list. Conflicts were resolved by listening to both sides and finding compromises. Constructive criticism was used to address underperformance in a suggestive rather than negative way to prevent conflicts. Identifying and addressing potential conflicts helped prevent issues between members with different work styles.
