One good thing about Team Equity is that we always encouraged frequent meetings for information sharing so that everyone knows who is taking care of what areas. Our Ms. Creative Masami came up with the tagline "Ride the Bio-Herbal Wave". The first thing we did for this task was to build the framework of presentation. Prior to that, we placed importance in capturing the topic of presentation correctly - The Business Module as the 'product' we are trying to educate to the English-speaking target audience and NOT the end product itself. Having that in place, the team members who would love to showcase their public speaking skills for this task had to go through a voting process by the all team mates. It has to be a mutual agreement of team members on presenters selection (to ensure that I put the right person at the right responsibility).
My initial plan was to place Ridzuan and Masami as our main presenters, and Anoop as the emcee. I did not rely solely on one person to present the entire scheme, as in throwing all the responsibilities on one person. Anoop who comes from hosting background was definitly well suited in the emcee position. Ridzuan is a good motivational public speaker, however in terms of the knowledge and confidence level on the Easy Pha-Max Business Module itself was lacking at that point of time. Hence, I swapped Ridzuan to handle floor management, which was initially handled by Boon Yew. The swapping process was based on mutual agreement of both parties and also among the team members' judgement. Masami has a very good knowledge in real facts about successful people in the globe and she would excel in inspiring the audience by using real life scenarios that are just at her finger tips to relate to Easy Pha-Max Business Module. She was the first presenter whereas Boon Yew was the second presenter.
Both Boon Yew and C.A. have the experience in MLM industry and they were the ones who have contributed in making the core presentation - Easy Pha-Max Business Module interesting! Apart from that, C.A. has been given responsibility to handle the sound system throughout the event. Dian, the publication expert would for sure do well when it comes to presentation layout and management.
Me, being a team leader wasn't easy. Assigning the right responsibility to the right person and making sure the job delegation was fair - require the skill to look at a broader perspective, the right decision-making, and making sure that all team members were moving towards hitting our main objective. Apart from that, being a team leader is not just about delegating responsibilities so that you can sit back to relax. As a team leader for this task, I need to ensure I'm ascertain of every responsibility that had been delegated. On top of every responsibility, I should also work hand-in-hand and know what my team members are doing, which in this case include ensuring the information presented by the respective presenters was on track with main objective. Last but not least, a team leader should bring out the best in each individual - being optimistic and energetic in driving the team, which in this case we've gone through various rounds of practices together till late night to correct each other's mistakes! It's not about solely about the team leader and taking the limelight, but it's about them shining on stage.
The best part of the task was that each and everyone of the team mate was so passionate and committed of the task and they've worked so hard to come up with a bonus English version of Easy Pha-Max jingle that surprised me. Lead singer was none other than the lady with the beautiful voice, Dian. =) We all did a good job esp. Boon Yew with his excellent presentation delivery and we've definitely learned a lot from each other. So, thumbs up again for Team Equity for winning this task and most of all overcoming the obstacles in the past.
