This week focused on the theme of people, culture and teams. With upcoming presentations, I was immediately drawn to the blog “Are You Letting Your People Shine?” by Glenn Leibowitz. Throughout the course of the semester class topics pertained and integrated many aspects of our group projects. Specifically, this post discusses how employees, colleagues and team members are being treated for their contributions. Over the course of one’s career, one will face many instances where culture plays a large part in different business aspects. For myself I see it as one of the most important and challenging ethical practices to balance.

‘Give them a chance to present their work‘ is a key section of the post which talks about letting go and allowing your team members to fully discuss their ideas, learn how to take ownership of them and in turn take away a valuable development from the opportunity to present their idea. It builds a sense of team work and confidence among peers and colleagues. It is of the utmost importance that one always has respect towards their team members and coworkers. A positive environment allows individuals to feel a sense of well-being and the opportunity to increase productivity.
