The Apprentice


The show opens, and there is so much conflict between the team of apprentices, and nobody can find common groud. There is a lot of problems with one of the women, Audrey. She brought some personal problems to the show, and they are biting her in the butt. The challenge of building a miniature golf course is presented to the two teams by Mr. Trump, and they head out on their ventures.

Audrey turns out to convince her team "Net worth", that she is strong enough to be project manager, and begins to put people in charge. She has made a decision not to make any decisions so that is anything went wrong, she could point the finger. She would not give clear direction. In the end, the team made just over $300.00.

The other team, "Magna" is run smoothly and clear direction is given out. They marketted wisely and got a lot of attention. The team successfully made over $500.00.

Heading to the board room, "Net Worth" gets a little "ratted out" for their low presentment of the business. Audrey, Craig, John and Angie argue and defend themselves. Audrey blames and points the finger away from herself. Audrey is fired, and the team is down one person.

I learned from this that teamwork and excitement for the job are very important. Leaders and managers must be passionate about the program - so passionate that she could have picked up the slack. She needed to take responsibility for the downfall of the project.
