Answer 1

Today, I am going to share with you my experience I had as a member of a team.

As a student, I have to engage in a variety of teamwork projects. As a result, having disagreements with other team members is inevitable [in’evitəbl].

If you have ever had a chance of working in a team to make a decision, you would know how difficult it was to make sure everyone was pulling together. Running a simulative company was not as easy as we thought. A wrong decision on pricing would significantly affect our profit. My team was fighting for days on pricing decisions. My friends wanted our products to be sold at a premium while I preferred a medium price, targeting the mid-end market. After carefully reviewing the market itself as well as material prices, we weighed the costs and benefits of each price to come up with a final selling price.

From this experience, I learned that it was hard to convince people with your subjective reasons. However, if your decision is backed up by sound numbers, it will be more convincing.
