Summary of
What Was Discussed / Work Done: (Use additional page if necessary)
Monday,
Sept. 17
the team met to revise the 3 W’s page.
Corrections were needed in each part of the assignment. We changed the Who section to specify
even further who are target market of trainees are. We also narrowed the list
we previously had for the What section into two categories that would be
of more value to the trainees. In
addition, we expanded our description of Where the trainees could be
found and listed reasons as to why this training program is necessary for their
life. Below is the revised 3 W’s page.
Who:
For adult women who have recently
graduated from college, are entering the work force, and are seeking
negotiating skills to overcome obstacles such as bargaining a desired position
and salary.
What:
Women will gain valuable knowledge
and improve valuable skills in the following areas:
·
Assertiveness- developing a sense of one’s own
dignity or worth in a bold, self-confident manner gaining pride, honor,
self-esteem, confidence, and self-respect.
·
Bargain Power- coming to an agreement where both
parties are equally satisfied.
Where:
EFN’s trainees can be found
anywhere and everywhere. Women who just
graduated from c9ollege, community college, or universities who plan to work in
small or large businesses/firms will benefit.
This training program will make women more effective during the
interview process when discussing positions and salaries. These skills will help women maintain a
position and climb to higher levels of success.
Monday,
Sept. 17 at 8:00 p.m.: The team met
to begin working on the objectives. We
were able to decide which objectives would work best for our training program,
but had difficulty with writing the objectives. We decided to meet the next night to finish writing the
objectives.
Tuesday,
Sept. 18 at 8:00 p.m.: The team met
and was able to finish the objectives.
Below is a rough draft of our teams’ objectives, and it is understood
that we will need to revise them accordingly.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this session each woman will be able to list their personal needs and strategically plan their desired outcome.
At the end of this session each woman will be able to distinguish positions (the negotiating process) from interests (personal, everyday communication).
At the end of this session each woman will be able to generate a variety of possibilities based on all parties interests by understanding the short-term consequences used and the substantive results pursued.
At the end of this session each woman will be able to recognize when the negotiating process should come to a close.
At the end of this session each woman will be able to improve their perception of their self and ability to communicate.
At the end of this session each woman will be able to present their position in such a manner that it seems appealing to the other party.
This
was submitted to Professor McGaan on Wednesday, Sept. 19.
Thursday,
Sept. 20: The team met
to attend the negotiating information meeting.
It proved to be extremely beneficial because it was a small group of
students who attended and the speaker was able to talk with us about
negotiating rather than lecturing. He
also had group activities for us that to help us understand certain key
concepts. He agreed to help our team
with any questions we may have in the future and will provide us with more useful
information that would be necessary for our training program.
Assignments
for Future Work / Deadlines:
Monday,
Sept. 17
the team agreed to attend the training session with Chris McRoberts on
Thursday, Sept. 20 at 7:00 p.m. in the Highlander Room called Getting to
Yes: The Art of Negotiation. This
was decided to learn more and to better understand our topic. We also agreed to meet at 8:00 p.m. in the
library to begin working on our training objectives.
8:00
p.m.: We
agreed to meet the next night to finish the objectives.
Tuesday,
Sept. 17 we
all agreed again we would definitely attend the training seminar on
Thursday. Certain books were traded
between us and we agreed to read certain sections that would benefit our
project.
Our
Assessment of Team Work and Task Progress (Strengths and Weaknesses):
The
teams’ strengths are as follows: each
individual member continues to work well with one another through listening and
understanding. Each member is taking
their job seriously and even does work on their own. We are growing to trust
one another, which will only benefit us in the long run.
Our
weaknesses are as follows: not understanding a few of our objectives. It was difficult for us to word the
objectives appropriately because certain concepts were confusing. Also, by the end of this we began running
out of actions words to use, which also made it difficult to finish the
homework.
