what to write in response to a classmate discussing the following for this week's discussion: Being an NCO in the Army, I frequently have to reach a team consensus. For instance, having to arrange a 21-day field trip while having a staffing shortage. Trying to prepare for the field and figure out how the office will be run. For instance, attempting to turn on every piece of equipment. Throughout the decision-making process, there was a lot of disagreement among the consensus. For example, open communication and mutual understanding were impaired by opposing opinions, individual hardships, lack of communication, which made the agreement difficult to achieve. Everyone would have had better preparation if those issues had been reversed. As everyone knows, life in the Army can be challenging, especially when juggling personal obligations and preparing for major field exercises. With time, I discovered that in order to reach a team consensus, I need to take into account everyone's opinions and timetable before deciding on a final plan for such a major preparation. I have to start with communication in order to hear the team's concerns and suggestions and take them into consideration. This will guarantee that all input was received and taken into account. I would use strategies such as hosting open discussions to address disputes, pushing team members to actively listen and demonstrate empathy, and searching for win-win solutions through compromise and consensus building
