Destructive Things That Undermined One’s Ability to Become Relevant

There was both subtle and blatant things done to destroy some contestants ability to become relevant:

Blatant Subtle

Started Arguments Fights During Tasks Not Listening to Other Team Members Ideas

Calling Out Teammates in Board Room Not Being Professional in Front of Trump

Constant Breaks During Tasks Purposely Losing a Task

Misleading OthersMisleading People Is Never A Good Idea

Misleading others can cause wrong

decisions and poor outcomes

Bret Michaels Never Mislead Any Of His Team Members

Purposely

However, if at any point he felt like he may have mislead someone, he was quick to fix

the problemOften during this season, team members would try to sabotage

others by giving them misleading information in hopes to get them

fired

Telling The TruthTelling The Truth Depends On Each Situation

If the person is strong-willed, and able to take criticism, then yes you could tell them the truth no matter

what

The truth should be told in a sensitive way no matter the situation because you do not

want to hurt someone's feelings who you may be

working with in the futureDonald Trump always tells the truth no

matter the situation…if he believes someone messed up, then he is not afraid

to tell it like it is

Our Team vs. Celebrity Apprentice

There are a lot of similarities between our team in class, and the teams on Celebrity

ApprenticeWhen we have tasks that are

needed to be done, we each throw ideas out and figure out which is

the best

We are not afraid to tell each other that certain ideas may not be best

Everyone gets the job done when the man in charge delegates what

to do

We have had cases of miscommunication, but that happens often with any team

What We Learned

We have learned a lot during this project and during the course of this class

Everybody Leads In Their Own Unique

Ways

Everybody is different and we have to adjust to their thoughts and

ideas

It’s not worth it to try and

backstab your teammates

because it ends up biting you in

the endSometimes its hard to get a team to work together, but when you

find out how to mesh, the outcome can be brilliant
