In conclusion, we believe that both face-to-face and virtual teams have the pros and cons of it. However, we had applied more on face-to-face team in this assignment and it actually builds a strong relationship and also trust between us. Other than that, it minimizes the conflicts and also leads to a better performance and satisfications among us.

Democratic and autocratic leadership styles both bring us lots of advantages such as everyone is able to participates in decision-making session, choosing what we wanted to handle in the assignment, utilized every members’ capability, saves time and energy as well as getting task done within the stipulated time limit.

The suitable types of work teams in our assignment group are cross-functional and problem solving. It both suits us so well because we combine our thoughts, perspectives, opinions and experiences in order to achieve the common goal.

On the other hand, we put in a lot of effort to improve a particular situations and also solving problems together. We share ideas and suggestions on methods that can be use to improved every situation.

In short, this assignment had really taught us a lot in terms of teamwork, leadership and also understands interpersonal communication. It makes us realize how important it is to be a good leader and also a good team players in order to finish the task in an effective and efficient way.

In order to perform an effective leadership, both leaders and followers must have effective interpersonal communication skills. The followers must not only be good in giving opinion but also to be active in listening to other’s opinion. Moreover, followers should have a good sense of humility. For instance, a good follower focused on executing the best thoughts regardless who suggested them or who gets the credit. To be a follower in an effective leadership must learn to tolerate with each other and understand that human are imperfect therefore they have to tolerate with the team members as well as the leaders. A great follower must also have the courage in order to follow into the unknown, and yet, will stand up and speak when values are compromised. Also, good followers in an effective leadership have their ego management; they have their egos under control.

On the other hand, to be a leader in an effective leadership must firstly have self-confidence. This is because followers often look for leaders who don’t self-question. In this way, leaders need to have confidence in themselves in order to persuade the followers to work together towards a common goal. Next, leader also need to be intelligent in interpreting large amounts of information, also be able to solve problems and at the same time come out with the correct decision. In addition, leader must also be very flexible and adaptable, for instance an effective leader will adapt to new surroundings and situations by doing his or her best to adjust. An effective leader must be very enthusiastic therefore the followers will be more motivated to follow. He or she must also be interested in feedbacks, for example to have feedbacks on how do people feels on them and or how to improve. Therefore they treat feedbacks as a gift to improve themselves as well as the team.

The suitable types of work teams in our assignment group are cross-functional and problem solving.

1. Cross-functional

Cross-functional team suits us so well as we have complementary skills that are mutually accountable that we use to work towards a common goal. For instance, each and every one of our team members is from different background, therefore we definitely had different experiences, different perspective, skills and also different strengths and weaknesses. Hence, cross-functional team is a group of people with different functional expertise working toward a common goal.

To illustrate, someone in the team who is good in language will be the one who writes the assignment. Someone who is good in analyzing the problem and questions will be the one who always guide and helps the team members. Meanwhile, the one who is good in editing will be the last one who check the overall assignment and make sure to minimize the error. But, we are all working towards a common goals, which is to do and score well in each and every assignment.

We strongly agree on the phrase 'two heads are better than one’, which implies that there are additional benefits to combine the thoughts, perspectives, opinions and experiences of two or more as opposed to those of one single person.

2.  Problem solving

We, as also a problem solving team believes that as long as there’s a problem, it will eventually have a solution. Just to mention a few problems that we had gone through in this assignment such as difficult to get started, ideas are not thoroughly discussed on teams, misunderstanding the questions wrongly and therefore came out with the wrong answers. Although all these problems might seems to be small to others, but it definitely brings us some difficulty. As a problem solving team, we went through and solve each and every problem together and finally get our work done. We believe that every problem is a chance for us to do our best!

Problem-solving teams are really a good team as everyone put in effort to improve the situations and also to solve the specific problems. Where we share ideas and offer suggestions on what processes and methods can be use to improved the situations.

1. Democratic leadership style

Democratic leadership style is the most suitable leadership style to apply on our team thus it leads us to work efficiently and effectively. It capitalizes on our skills and talents by sharing our views (Kendra.C, 2015). Firstly, our leader lets us to participates in decision-making session, so all the members will be satisfied with the final decision and therefore conflict and discord in team is reduces. We, as the team with democratic leadership styles, make us enjoy having the advantage of choosing what we wanted to handle in this assignment. Be more specifically, our leader utilized every members’ capability by letting us to handle the task that we have confidence to get it done perfectly. For instance, our leader, who is good in providing structures will be the thruster-organizer in the team. Nevertheless, democratic leadership style increases the production and minimized the existence of social loafer in our team.

Our team always facilitates the conversation, encourage each other to share ideas, and then synthesize all the available information into the best possible decision (Kendra.C, 2015). In short, democratic leadership style is one of the most efficient styles that results in team members can engage in decision making, utilize members’ capability and increase production.

2. Autocratic leadership style

Our team does also apply autocratic leadership style during this assignment. ‘Autocratic leadership style’ may give you a bad impression when it first crosses your mind, but surprisingly, it brought us lots of advantages. Team members have to follow leader’s assignation in order to accomplish the task. First and foremost, autocratic leadership styles helps to avoid lack of information while doing an assignment. Team members who are separated into handling different task will have the full details on their task. For instance, Yuco went for consult lecturer when she doesn’t understand the questions of the assignment that makes our team to avoid some unnecessary error while answering it. This saves a lot of time and energy.

Despite that, autocratic leadership is more effective in emergency situations. When emergency and stressful situations happened, having an autocratic leader will be great as she will take the reins in her own hands and direct the team members to move forward. For example, when anyone of the team member did the assignment wrongly, Natalie will always be there to guide and help us. Last but not least, autocratic leadership provides our team a real quick implementation. As the instructions of the leader are carried out in this type of a leadership, their implementation is quick and without any doubt. As she takes faster decisions, the task is able to complete within the stipulated time limit. For example, every assignment is given a due date, when our leader gave us the implementation, we are able to finish the assign work before it dues.
