R...A...C...E!!!

R...A...C...E.....!!!!
Yeah, that is the fastest way to do a case.
R means Research
A means Action Plan
C means Carry Out
E means Evaluation

This week, I had a chance to solve a case about Marriot School problem in lab. I think this was very interesting to be a part of a team and did some brainstorm.  Each of us  make the "RACE" better. We followed the R A C E steps, and we wished we have a chance to Carry it out to the real life. However, as I been researched about Marriot School GPA, I realized they actually  set a goal for their student GPA. For example, they set a goal of having an average 3.5 GPA. Therefore, they will do a curve in any business program to make their goal happen.

From my research I realized the case we were given is not exactly right and we also have to do the research before we can analyze the problem. Anyway, it was a great practice for not only me but also our class. It makes me think about it a lot during the week about the power of a team work. I just saw a promotion on the I-15 high way: "A team is better than a group of individuals".

I believe we can apply this quote and the RACE plan to our leadership role. Right now, VSA still looks like a team, but sometimes it is a group of individuals. In my opinion, I can apply the RACE plan to VSA situation right now in order to solve any problems!

GO RACE!
