Project Report from the year 2022 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,5, University of Western Sydney, course: Managing Project Teams and Stakeholders, language: English, abstract: Group dynamics have always characterized the social fabric of our society. Both in leisure activities and professional work, the ability to work together in teams is often crucial. This is especially relevant for managing projects. Often success depends on the interaction of individuals in a team. This interaction will be discussed in the following work. The basis for this is the Harvard simulation of a Mount Everest climb. As in project management, the team members face different challenges that they must solve together. Leadership, team development, communication and their influence on the project’s success and how the team members behave during the simulation will be investigated. These will be analysed based on scientific literature, and realizations will be revealed.
