Your first post, should contain at least 300 words, and discuss the at least 3 pros and 3 cons of using sports teams as models for workplace teams. Use critical thinking skills and examples to analyze and explain your answers. Conduct an Internet and/or library search and include at least 2 references with your first post.

Write an essay illustrating the lesson concept and explaining parts a) and b) . This original post must contain a minimum of 300 words. Students must demonstrate critical thinking by paraphrasing the material into their own words (direct quotes should be used in a limited manner as this does not display critical thinking). All statements in the post that are not general knowledge should be cited to their source. Be sure to clearly relate the the readings to the lesson concepts. Students may further synthesize this research relating to personal experiences. All citations should be in APA format with a reference listing at the bottom of the post in APA format (be sure to include a link to the website of your current event in the reference listing).
